RuriDragon Manga Returns from Hiatus: A Triumphant Comeback in March 2024

The Long-Awaited Return

Fans of Masaoki Shindou’s RuriDragon manga have been eagerly awaiting its return since it went on hiatus in July 2022 due to Shindou’s health issues. The wait is finally over, as the official announcement has confirmed that RuriDragon will resume serialization on March 4, 2024. This news has sparked excitement among manga enthusiasts, who are eager to dive back into the story of Ruri, a teenager who discovers she is half-dragon.

A Brief Recap

For those who may have missed the initial chapters, RuriDragon began its serialized run in Weekly Shonen Jump on June 13, 2022. The manga quickly gained popularity for its unique blend of high school life and fantastical elements, as Ruri navigates her newfound dragon powers and the challenges they bring. The first six chapters were well-received, and the series was on a promising trajectory before its sudden hiatus.

The Return and New Schedule

The return of RuriDragon is not just a continuation of the story but also marks a change in its publication schedule. The manga will initially publish a chapter in Weekly Shonen Jump for five weeks starting on March 4, 2024. Following this, it will transition to a biweekly schedule in the magazine’s digital version and the Shonen Jump+ service starting on April 22, 2024. This change is expected to provide a more sustainable pace for the creator and maintain the quality of the story.

What to Expect

The new chapters will continue to explore Ruri’s journey as she develops her dragon powers and faces the challenges of being a demihuman. The story will delve deeper into the themes of identity, friendship, and the struggles of growing up, all while maintaining the manga’s signature blend of humor and action.

Character Development and Relationships

One of the key aspects of RuriDragon is its character development, particularly the relationships between Ruri and her classmates. The manga has already introduced a cast of intriguing characters, including the standoffish light-haired girl, Maeda, who has been a source of tension and curiosity. The return of the manga promises to further explore these relationships and introduce new characters, adding depth to the story.

The Impact of the Hiatus

The nearly two-year hiatus has undoubtedly had an impact on the manga’s momentum, but the enthusiasm for its return is a testament to the enduring appeal of RuriDragon. The hiatus has also given fans time to reflect on the story and its themes, and the anticipation for new chapters is palpable.
