RuriDragon Faces New Delay: The Long Wait for Chapter 46

When I first moved from Seoul to Mexico, the waiting was the hardest part of adapting to a new world. That same heavy feeling in the chest returns today for fans of RuriDragon. We were all expecting to see our favorite dragon girl return this Monday, but the official X account has delivered news that feels like a cold bucket of water: the hiatus is growing longer.

The Unexpected Extension of the Hiatus

Life is like a fragile piece of porcelain; sometimes it cracks when you least expect it. Although Chapter 46 was scheduled to light up our screens in the digital version of Weekly Shonen Jump and Shonen Jump+, we now have to wait until early June. No specific reason was shared, leaving us wandering in a forest of uncertainty. Have you ever felt that silence when someone doesn't explain why they are leaving?

A History of Health and Hurdles

This isn't the first time Masaoki Shindō has had to step back to breathe. Since its debut, the path of this manga has been a mountain range of ups and downs:

• The series suffered breaks in 2022 due to the author's sudden illness.
• It transitioned to digital platforms in April 2024 to find a better rhythm.
• A significant two-month break already occurred between May and July 2025.
• The current delay pushes the return from its original April date to the summer.

The Soul of a Dragon Girl

I remember reading the RuriDragon one-shot from 2020 and feeling a deep connection to Ruri. She is just a girl trying to exist, being lazy, and doing her best—honestly, that describes my first years trying to learn Spanish! This story, which began its serialization in June 2022, has captured hearts because it feels human despite the horns. Viz Media and MANGA Plus have allowed us to follow her journey in English, making this wait feel even more global.

Are you ready to wait a few more weeks for Ruri's return? Please, stay patient and keep supporting the creators who give us so much joy. Check your digital apps in June to make sure you don't miss the comeback!
