RuriDragon Vol. 3 — Manga Raw / Buy Official

The preparation for the sports festival serves as a crucible for Ruri. Working alongside the earnest Maeda, she finds herself entangled in social obligations that trigger her volatile dragon heritage. Physical manifestations—such as sprouting horns and skin hardening—become impossible to hide, forcing Ruri to carry ice packs constantly to suppress her internal heat. The tension peaks during the relay race, where the adrenaline forces Ruri to reveal her true nature to her peers. Instead of retreating, she embraces her jagged reality, using her power not as a weapon, but as an extension of her own will. This experience cements her bond with Maeda and forces her classmates to reckon with her identity. By the end of the festival, Ruri ceases to hide, choosing instead to own her unique existence even as she navigates the complex social landscape of teenage life.
