For fans of magic schools, fantastical creatures, and harem comedies comes Dragonar Academy, an ongoing manga series about a boy who is trying to tame an unruly—and very pretty—dragon.

Learning to ride and tame dragons comes easy to most students at Ansarivan Dragonar Academy—except for first-year student

Ash Blake, who is known by his fellow classmates as the “number one problem child.” Poor Ash is the laughingstock at school because, despite his unfashionably large star-shaped brand that marks him as a future dragon master, he has nothing to show for it. His dragon has never appeared.

Until now, that is. One fateful day, Ash’s dragon awakes in full glory but appears different than any dragon ever seen before—in the form of a beautiful girl! What’s worse, Ash soon discovers that this new dragon has attitude to spare, as she promptly informs him that she is the master, and he, the servant. Ash’s problems with dragon riding have only just begun.

Shiki Mizuchi is a Japanese light novel author best known for Dragonar Academy.

Ran is a Japanese manga artist who wrote and illustrated Maid War Chronicle and worked with writer Ken Akamatsu (Love Hina, Negi-ma) as the artist on Mao-chan.

Seven SeasMy Pathetic Vampire Life, vol. 3Story and art by Rose Ishikawa

Introducing an all-new supernatural comedy manga series about a vampire stuck in high school for all eternity!

My Pathetic Vampire Life is a witty and hilarious ongoing manga series about a teenage boy who was turned into a vampire at the age of sixteen and is now doomed to repeat his sophomore year in high school again and again and again. For fans of offbeat supernatural comedies like My Monster Secret and over-the-top vampire romps like Servamp comes a whole new type of vampire story.

My Pathetic Vampire Life features delightful character designs and adorable artwork, and will be released as single-volume books.

Koide was turned into a vampire at the age of sixteen—one hundred and thirty-three years ago. Now, poor Koide is trapped

in an eternal loop of the same old homework, the same boring lectures and meaningless tests, and an ever-unquenchable thirst for blood. Koide has repeated his uneventful sophomore year of high school one hundred and thirty-three times, and now, in his one hundred and thirty-fourth year, he doesn’t expect things to change—and is frankly too bored to care. But his classmates this year seem a little different than before. They’re thrilled to have a vampire in their midst and are eager to do whatever they can to help. Will “134” be Koide’s lucky number or is that just wishful thinking?

Rose Ishikawa is best known as the author and artist of My Pathetic Vampire Life.

Seven SeasSpecies Domain, vol. 2Story and art by Noro Shunsuke

For fans of My Monster Secret comes a fresh, elvish take on the monster girl genre!

Species Domain is an all-new series for fans of supernatural comedic hijinks in the monster girl genre. Offering a fresh twist on monster girls, Species Domain is chock-full of elves, dwarves, demons, and more in a hilarious tale of beings born into the modern world with familiar mythological features—but without any of the magical quirks and powers that come with it. It’s not easy being pointy-eared or sprouting wings when your classmates are still predominantly humans, all awaiting your big magical debut, which will never come!

With expressive artwork and a unique cast of fantastical characters, Species Domain is an ongoing manga series that fans of titles like Monster Musume won’t want to miss. Each hilarious volume contains full-color inserts.

Every so often, a child is born with the features of a legendary being. From long, graceful elvish ears, to burly dwarven muscles,

or an oni’s horns, you never quite know who, or what, you’ll see walking down the street these days. However, none of these individuals are born with the inherent traits their species are known for, and no one is more painfully aware of this than Kazamori. Born with the appearance of an elf, everyone expects her to wield magic, but she just can’t do it! Kazamori has managed to hide this fact until now, but when an ordinary human who can use his own science-based version of magic learns the truth about her, what’s a young elf girl in high school to do?

Noro Shunsuke is a Japanese manga creator best known for his debut work, Species Domain.
