Seikoku no Ryuu Kishi is a great manga that is based on a series of light novels. Baka Tsuki should translate them.

Important thing I want to ask: Is it "Seikoku no Ryuu Kishi" or "Seikoku no Dragonar"?

I think both are fine? I believe the ryuu kishi(dragon knight in Japanese) is the direct translation, whereas dragonar is more towards the meaning.

Dragonaar is not the meaning but the reading. I mean, what is a Dragonaar? Right, a dragon knight, as indicated by the kanji/ryuukishi


Also, from what I saw this is generic. Very generic. Protag is regarded as a failure but actually super-powerful/talented, he just needed time. He had time, now he builds a harem of generic girls, including a flat tsundere loli lead, and gets generic power-ups in critical situations. I don't see why anybody but the "HAAAAAAREM*drool*"-faction would be interested. Well, maybe the Kamen-(masked superhero/sentai)-fanboys get a kick out of his armor design...


Generic world, generic characters, generic plot, generic dialog... *sigh* ... There's not even a little sister to save the day.

OK, just wanted to check in case we have a project page. We always use the title the way it's read, right?

We always use what Oni thinks is the title, no matter how long or ridiculous... *runs and hides* ... Well, we should use how it's read. Or how the reading is translated...? *thinks of Unbreakable Machine Doll* Questions over questions...

In volume 4 or 5, his armor is not even visible.

Harem consists of:
Dragon loli (And her Navi? Mature form that hardly appears? Also revealed to be capable of giving birth with a human, and that dragon race does not disapprove of multiple wives due to lack of dragons around)
Princess (Confessed, but as always, put on hold in terms of reply)
Girl that pretends to be of a high status, and shows no shame
Elf that is indicated as rival of the one above
Student President
Student President's lover (the generic female cross-dressing, finds out, force marriage, fall in love?)

BTW, Kikou Shoujo is not how it should be read?

Well, the Kanji originally read "Kikou Shoujo ha Kizu tsukanai", the tricky/contriving/clever girl does not get injured (kanji joke on Mechanism Girl, which is also read as Kikou Shoujo)

Furigana for Kikou Shoujo are マシンドール, MaShiNDoORu or Machine Doll. Machine Doll does not get injured

And then there's proper (?) English text on the cover saying Unbreakable Machine Doll.

So Unbreakable Machine Doll is the most... intended title, I guess? (with other words: screw you, Japan. Again.)


... back to topic?

Read the manga, not my thing. The draogn-loli reminds me WAY too much of Louise from ZnT. Only without the cute love-potion arc to lessen the pain.

Read the manga, panicked because of Louis clone ("You stupid dog!"). Clenched my teeth, finished reading, liked it because other characters stood out more (Student President reminds me of Rias from DxD). Found some summaries on Animesuki, liked it even more, mainly because the Louis-clone thing dies pretty quick. She's still a tsundere, but the cute "Pay attention to me" kind. And she does hit him, but in situations that make sense (like she walked into a room and found the MC under someone's skirt. Accident, but all she saw was the skirt thing.)

Two more things that stood out to me in the spoilers/summaries. One, the girls seem to get pretty even development and screen time, so even if you hate the tsundere's they aren't the only one's on stage, so to speak. Two, DRAGONS!! :D Sorry, but dragons make me gush. And the tsundere girl turns into one the size of a mountain.
