ルリドラゴン [RuriDragon] #2

The cover of RuriDragon Volume 2 makes an immediate impression: Ruri herself fills the frame, head thrown back with a burst of vivid flame erupting from her mouth, her dragon horns and wild silver-streaked hair adding to the raw, untamed energy of the moment. It's a bold visual statement from creator Masago Shindou, published under Shueisha's Jump Comics imprint. The subtitle on the cover — "仲良い必要ないんだよ" ("I don't need to be friends") — hints at a protagonist who's as sharp-edged as she is fascinating.
