There are probably many people who want to enjoy the new anime that will start next year, but have limited time to watch due to work or school, and are wondering which anime to choose and watch. There are probably many people who have opened this article who are thinking, "I'll check the contents of this article first to see if I should watch it." In response to the requests of such people, this time I would like to introduce what kind of work "Dragon Goes House-Hunting" is and what kind of people it is suitable for. I hope that I can help solve the problem that is typical of otakus: "What anime should I watch next year?"
The main character is a timid and weak dragon named "Letty"
First, I would like to introduce the main character of this work, the timid and weak dragon Letty. This work features many monsters that look a little different from what we normally imagine, which is one of its charms, but the main character Letty in particular is portrayed as a particularly unusual character, so I would like to explain her in detail.
The story begins with Letty being kicked out of her house.
The story begins with Letty, a dragon, being kicked out of her house by her parents. I've never heard of a dragon being disowned and kicked out by its parents, but by depicting a character with such an unimaginable image, this work depicts an excellent worldview.
A cowardly and weak dragon!?
As such, the main character Letty is basically portrayed as a timid and weak dragon. One of the things to look forward to is how Letty, who is a timid and weak dragon, will behave in a fantasy world filled with many strong enemies.
A journey to find a home
The basic flow of this work is that Letty, a timid and weak dragon, searches for her own home. It may seem a little silly that she has been kicked out of her home by her parents and is looking for a new place to live, but this approachability and the lovableness that comes with her weakness are Letty's greatest charms.
Will you do your best for your friends?! Maybe...
Though Letty is completely useless in both fighting ability and mentality, there are also scenes where she lends a helping hand when her friends are in trouble, so she doesn't always seem to be useless. Letty's inner conflict of "Should I choose my friends or protect myself?" is depicted very carefully, and it is one of the exciting scenes in this work.
Despite being a dragon, she has a wide range of facial expressions
The protagonist of this work is not human, so we cannot draw facial expressions on her face. However, instead, the work uses many "manga symbols," and Letty is portrayed as a character who can express a wide range of emotions despite being a dragon.
What is the story about?
Here, I would like to introduce what kind of story "Dragon Buys a House" is specifically about. The story progression of this work is structured in a way that is easy to understand for any layer, and it can be said to be very easy to get into, so please check it out.
Encounter Many Races
In this work, Letty will encounter many monsters as she searches for her home. Many of the monsters are of a race that you have seen in other works, so you can enjoy it by saying, "Oh, I've seen this monster in that work!!"
With precious friends
Letty will meet many companions during her journey. Not only Letty as described above, but the companions who travel with Letty are also very unique characters, so be sure to check them out.
The Demon King is accompanying her! ?
Among the many charming companions who appear, the one who stands out the most is the demon king, Diaria. Many readers were probably surprised by the unexpected turn of events in which a character with one of the most powerful abilities in the work, the demon king, joined the journey.
An enemy unique to dragons
Although many charming companions appear in this work, the characters who stand in Letty's way as enemies are also characters who are more on our side, such as "heroes" and "hunters." In this work, you can enjoy seeing them from the perspective of monsters who are usually on our side.
Fun as a gag manga
The world view and characters alone make "Dragon Buys a House" very appealing, but the greatest appeal of this work is that it is a gag manga. Here, I would like to introduce in detail the fun and ways to enjoy "Dragon Buys a House" as a gag manga.
The ingenuity of setting the story in fantasy
Normally, gag manga cannot develop complex worldviews or character settings because it must deliver laughs to readers at a good pace, but in "Dragon Buys a House," the world of fantasy that we are familiar with is used to making the worldview and character settings complex, but without the need for explanations, it is possible to deliver laughs at a good pace.
An homage to another work! ?
Furthermore, this work takes advantage of the fantasy setting to pay homage to characters that we have encountered in works set in a similar worldview. One of the fun things about this work is that you can enjoy small discoveries, such as "I've seen this character in some other work before."
Full of little jokes! !
In this way, "Dragon Buys a House" features many little tidbits that make good use of the questions we usually have about the fantasy world. When watching "Dragon Buys a House," we recommend that you pay attention to these little tidbits.
Recommended for these people! !
So, what kind of anime fans is this work, "Dragon, Buy a House," suitable for, given its characteristics? Here, I would like to explain in detail what kind of anime fans "Dragon, Buy a House" is suitable for.
I want to watch many other anime! !
"Dragon Buys a House" is basically a comedy manga, so you don't have to follow a complicated story and it's recommended for those who want to watch other anime at the same time.
I like fantasy-themed works and games! !
Furthermore, since there are many homages to works and games set in fantasy, this is a work that I would also recommend to anime fans who are genuine fantasy masters and have played many works and games set in fantasy.
Famicom Generation
In particular, there are many small details based on RPG games that appeared on the Famicom, so this work can be recommended to those who actually played those games as part of the Famicom generation. It is also an easy-to-watch work for those who have been away from anime for a while, so why not try it as your return to anime?
I also like old works! !
Furthermore, the characters in this work are drawn in a way that reminds one of old girls' manga, so I think it will be a very accessible work for those who like to read works from that era.
What I'm looking forward to in the anime!!
There are many interesting things about "Dragon Buys a House," but the interesting things I've mentioned so far are based on the manga version. Here, I'd like to introduce how the fun of "Dragon Buys a House" will expand by becoming an anime.
How the artwork is reproduced
It might be interesting to pay attention to how the unique artwork, which can be said to be the biggest feature of this work, is reproduced in the anime. Since it is a work that creates an excellent worldview by matching the artwork and the worldview well, it seems worth paying attention to the degree to which the artwork is reproduced in the anime version.
Movement is added, making it even more expressive! !
In this work, Letty, a dragon, is the protagonist of a comedy manga, and is expressed with facial expressions that rival those of humans through gestures and "manga symbols." In the anime, not only are gestures and "manga symbols" included, but the voice actors' unique voices and realistic motions are added, so the protagonist Letty will be drawn with even more expressive expressions.
Even more tempo! !
In this way, it is expected that the strength of this masterpiece gag manga will be further strengthened in the anime version. Whether you already liked this work or not, you will definitely enjoy it, so please give it a try!
Summary
What did you think? This time, I briefly introduced the appeal of "Dragon, Buy a House". Of course, there are many charms that I could not talk about in this article, so why not take a look at the manga before the anime version starts? It is a work that can be enjoyed together with other works, so if you are an anime fan, you will definitely get hooked! !
