プライベイト・ドラゴン [Private Dragon]

A short-lived but distinctive two-issue series from Hakusensha, Private Dragon (1997–1998) pairs a modern-day protagonist with a mythological creature in a story that blends slice-of-life fantasy with light adventure. Though brief, the series is a curious artifact of late-1990s manga, demonstrating how creators could quickly establish a charming, self-contained world. Its rarity makes it a footnote for collectors of Hakusensha's catalog from that era.
