RuriDragon made it in Shonen Jump, so why was That Dragon (Exchange) Student Stands Out More Than Me relegated to MANGA Plus, also by Shueisha?
Even though RuriDragon promises to be a thrillingly sarcastic-filled ride, the first chapter proves Shueisha's Shonen Jump didn't know what it was doing when the similar series That Dragon Student Stands Out More Than Me was confined to Shonen Jump+, also by Shueisha.
On the surface, Shonen Jump+ isn't a step down from Weekly Shonen Jump per se since the former platform publishes series that contain too much violence and/or nudity for inclusion in the more readily available and popular weekly anthology. MANGA Plus titles also don't adhere to Shonen Jump's overly strict schedules and demands.
Therein lies the reason why That Dragon Student... definitely deserved to be in Shonen Jump before it ended. The relationship between the human Manabu Higurashi and his one-sided rivalry with the dragon - Meria Spindleston - in MANGA Plus' title is heartwarming. Within the debut chapter, comedy abounds by Manabu's many failed attempts to upstage Meria before adding romance. Nothing like this exists in the first chapter of RuriDragon.
Meanwhile, not only does MANGA Plus' That Dragon Student... provide one, but Meria herself is shrouded in mystery like Ruri. By the first chapter, Meria already exhibits extraordinary powers but is clearly suffering from her own limitations to the point where readers can't help but continue on. Of course, on its own, RuriDragon is incredibly entertaining and enjoyable.
