A popular shonen title is ready to make its return after a lengthy hiatus, Masaoki Shindo’s RuriDragon. Shindo announced on Wednesday, that there would be changes in the manga’s serialization, making a brief return to Print before shifting to Digital.
In the outlined announcement, Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump would be publishing five chapters from this year’s 14th issue on March 4 until the 18th issue on April 1. There, the manga would be making a move to digital with Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump’s digital version, then onto Shonen Jump + starting on April 22. New chapters would be released in every other issue.
RuriDragon made its debut in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump Magazine in June 2022. Shortly after, the series would be taking two one-week breaks in July 2022, due to the author’s sudden illness, before a sudden announcement of an extended break in the same month. It would then get its first compiled tankobon volume in October 2022. RuriDragon’s first volume became the most recommended manga in Japanese bookstores, thanks to Nippon Shuppan Hanbai’s Annual Survey for 2023. In December 2023, the 2024 edition of Takarajimasha’s Kono Manga ga Sugoi! (This Manga Is Amazing!) guidebook ranked it at No. 9 in the top twenty manga list for male readers.
RuriDragon Volume One is available now wherever books are sold in Japan, and readers can read all six chapters on Shueisha’s Manga Plus App and Viz Media’s Shonen Jump App.
