Seven Seas Entertainment has revealed that the second installment of the manga series Dragonar Academy by Shiki Mizuchi has sold out. While it happens over time with most publishers and most titles, it’s not often that’s revealed and it’s even rarer to hear it a week or so after the volume was just released. The title, which has an anime adaptation broadcasting in Japan and simulcasting through FUNimation at the moment, has certainly hit the right notes for a lot of fans. Seven Seas is looking to get a second print run out there right away to start filling the need at the distributor level, where it’s sold out. Copies can still be found at the retail level, but once they sell out, they’ll have to wait for the second print run to land there.
Plot concept: Dragonar Academy, which originated as a popular light novel series in Japan, is a growing franchise that is sure to appeal to fans of comedic fantasies like Zero’s Familiar and The Sacred Blacksmith. Each volume is delightfully illustrated and includes color inserts.
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 laughing stock 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.
