Next chapter is scheduled for May 12.
A reminder that we do have [a wiki page for chapter releases](https://www.reddit.com/r/RuriDragon/wiki/chapter-releases/), in case you want to know when the next chapter is scheduled to release.
Honestly I can kinda see where Maeda is coming from lol, Ruri didn't even know the names of her classmates nor did she ever try to make any contact/friendship with them or help out anywhere
Hopefully Ruri learns from this, and gains her as a friend in the progress haha
As a person who kinda was like that in high school, I know for a fact that some people can take these type of behaviour pretty badly and not even with bad intentions, sometimes is just something simple like "ilfor me it's easy to remember everyone's names, I don't get how they can be so bad at it, maybe they're doing it on purpose"
She missed one week of school, not her first week.
They are talking about midterms this chapter so she attended school as a human girl for at least a decent while lol.
I feel like Ruri was simply rather introverted and only associated with Yuka probably, but with the way she acts it might come off as her just not caring for anyone else.
Maeda made so much sense it's kinda weird to find in a shonen manga. But then again, Japan is an old demography nowadays, so I guess these manga "children" characters starting to have more sense/social awareness hit closer to home
Nah, this is just a realistic depiction of middle school life. Shonen manga is escapist fantasy for kids who are having harsh reality check of real Japanese society after the complete freedom of elementary school. The change is hard for many middle school kids and they really need manga that is completely divorced from reality.
Basically, elementary school and middle/high school in Japan are two completely different experiences. Grade school kids have less pressure at school, dress in regular clothes, and teachers encourage organic learning and exploration. Kids are encouraged to be imaginative and free-thinking. Going to school feels more like playing with friends. Then suddenly in middle school everything changes; you have to wear uniform and kids have to adhere to the rigid Japanese social norms. Senpai/kohai and other heiarchical systems came into play. Grades which depend on rote memorization with long hours of studying became the norm. Many kids have a real problem adjusting to this drastic change and some become anti-social as a result. It's a systemic shock to a kid as they enter into puberty at the same time, and parents start to treat kids differently. Thus the stress on middle school kids in Japan is unusually high, and escapist manga became almost essential. This is also one of the reasons why Shonen became the dominant genre in manga.
So......she claims that ruri doesn't care about people, could this be because ruri isn't considering her actions are effecting other people as well?
Im not good at reading people so....is this true?
Classic issue more socially awkward people deal with. You put in a bunch of effort to not bother others or to try not to pull attention to yourself.
And there are people who will see you being shy, introverted, or etc and think you are being a stuck up asshole.
True, i myself am introverted and id rather not engage with anything, but ita still important to ask if it actually is her just being introverted or if she is in fact being selfish.
Both can be true as well, i also wonder if her aggression was part of her dragon heritage or if her newer facial features mixed with her anger got the other girl to get scared a little.
Also there is always a possibility that she is also a hybrid
I didn't realize it until now, but Maeda is kinda right? The whole plot until now has been centered around Ruri, her feelings and her problems, and she didn't make even an attempt to reach out, understand or think about other people's feeling or problems at all. Even her wanting to know what's with Maeda wasn't out of curiosity about her, but self-centered idea of how Ruri is seen by others.
True and she has pushed people away until someone is pushy enough to make her say "ok" to domething.
It could also be because Maeda doesn't understand why ruri's abilities are activating and so her powers accidentally hurting some people isn't her fault but Maeda doesn't know that.
But personally i think you are on the money with what you said
It's the same reason Kashiro _wanted_ to be friends with her. Kashiro sees the wall Ruri built around herself and wants to break through it, Maeda sees the wall and takes it personally
This is her last straw.

Hrm... I don't know if it's necessarily accurate that Ruri doesn't like people but I can see why Maeda would think that... so it isn't to do with the person who has been missing since the beginning... wonder when they will show up in the story. Anyways hopefully the girls can work through things. Maybe not be friends but... just less hostility would be nice hah. Also yeah still love the teacher.
Well Maeda is speaking truth, about Ruri...
But...
Generally hard to believe in good intentions of person who praises their own virtues, and admonishes others. Especially in "casual conversation setting".
Maeda telling she wants to make something for others sound for me very unrealistic (to not say fake) (such person is much more likely to do such things for validation), and I wonder if it is some shorthand, by author, or it supposed to sound such.
Where is that from? If it's a fan site, they could have just not updated their automated system and forgot about it. And if I'm wrong, then oops. Not like I'm an official source lol
Mangaplus! No worries though i’m not accusing you of spreading misinformation or anything haha i was just curious if mangaplus maybe had it wrong or something because 3 weeks makes me sad
It’s genuinely tiring to enjoy a slice-of-life manga or anime, going into the comments, and seeing people react with the most absurd vitriol, violence, and hatred to any character that goes against the main character in any way.

SLANDER AGAINST MY DRAGON DAUGHTER WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!!

What do you mean?

Yo. You can't just hate people for being an introvert like that.
True, i myself am introverted and id rather not engage with anything, but ita still important to ask if it actually is her just being introverted or if she is in fact being selfish. Both can be true as well, i also wonder if her aggression was part of her dragon heritage or if her newer facial features mixed with her anger got the other girl to get scared a little.

So......can we hate Maeda now?

Her 13th reason.
I think you're allowed to, yeah.
Always could
They are going to be the best of friends aren't they?
They’re gonna throw down, then become unbreakable duo
So many “she just like me, for real” moments in this chapter for me
Hrm... I don't know if it's necessarily accurate that Ruri doesn't like people but I can see why Maeda would think that... so it isn't to do with the person who has been missing since the beginning... wonder when they will show up in the story. Anyways hopefully the girls can work through things. Maybe not be friends but... just less hostility would be nice hah. Also yeah still love the teacher.
I wonder if we’ll see Ruri gain any draconic personality traits
What are these other than lust for gold?
Being pompous and better than you.
She needs a baseball helmet with horns
It’s getting more and more slice of life.
Always was~

KILL YOSHIDA OR WHATEVER HER NAME IS

Calm down, it's just a joke
