Shueisha announced that the Shonen Jump manga RuriDragon is on a break until June 15, 2025. The last new chapter to appear is 34, which launched on May 18, 2025 worldwide. It can be read for free on both MangaPlus and Viz Media at time of writing, as both offer the first three chapters and three most recent ones to read for free online.

The 34th chapter in the series deals with some recent developments that came up around chapter 33. As Ruri’s draconic traits start to come in, it means suddenly learning to deal with and control them. One of the last ones is a frost ability. This means changing the temperature around her, as well as forming ice and freezing things, it means it’s gotten quite chilly and her temperature is dropping. We get to see how she deals with the new power even further.

As for physical copies of the manga, you can find one volume of RuriDragon in print now. Viz Media released that back in January 2025. Volume 2 is expected to debut on August 5, 2025 outside Japan. It’s up to three volumes released so far in Japan, as the third covered chapters 16-24 and debuted in March 2025. 

The series proved quite popular since its debut in June 2022. So much so that there’s already a Nendoroid of the character on the way.

RuriDragon chapter 34 is available to read for free online now, and chapter 35 of the manga will appear in Shonen Jump and online on June 15, 2025.

Good Smile Company opened up pre-orders for the RuriDragon Nendoroid of heroine Ruri Aoki. She costs ￥6,800 or $54.99, depending on where you buy her. She’s also expected to debut in September 2025. The figure also comes with a special bonus of a phone for her to hold and extra hand if you buy it direct through Good Smile Company. She’s based on her most recent look from the RuriDragon manga and wears her school uniform. 

Ruri comes with a number of effects and parts based on events of the series. Her three expressions are one with a huge, big, open mouth smile that shows her new fangs, one of her exasperated, and one that makes it look like she’s about to sneeze. That last one is also accompanied by a fireball effect part, which references the fact that in the first chapter of the manga after discovering her dragon heritage she sneezes out fire accidentally. She also comes with an onigiri and electric effects for her hands.

Here’s a closer look at the Ruri Aoki RuriDragon Nendoroid:

Here’s what the Good Smile Company storefront bonus looks like. You get Ruri’s pink phone with black design on the back, as well as a hand that is designed to be able to hold it. The faceplate shown in the example photo comes with the figure.
