The Dragon Knight's Beloved (Manga) Vol. 1

Picked this book up because the cover looked gorgeous and the premise was intriguing. Little did I know that I would fall in love with the story from Page 1! I would LOVE to see this adapted into an anime. Stepping into the story is a welcome escape from cover to cover. Stay close to the dragon knight's beloved...and you might just get the rare chance to pet and feed a beautiful dragon! (It's pulls you in that much) Looking forward to the next volume :) I also enjoyed the bonus chapter at the end and the opportunity to visualize the scenes for myself in a fun way. It's something you don't get to experience that often with manga and it's something that adds another layer of enchantment to enjoy again and again.

It's a beginning of a great story. The main character acts a bit like a Mary Sue, but nevertheless, the story is good. It's a great shojo mangawoth dragons in it :)

Dragons! I love the beginning depth of the story with dragons and friendships. It's an interesting combination that I can't wait to keep finding out what happens next. The dragon's relationships with their riders and the additional information that they are smart and no just a beast adds to the story. I'm so curious to see why Melissa is so special and what the brother's previous fiance will bring in the next book. Great start!

This was a very fascinating read!I can't say I have read a manga that heavily centered around dragons before. I've read a few titles that have dragons mentioned, but not anywhere like this. I feel it's almost a political story, but again, centered around dragons!However, outside of first mentioning that, I want to say that the art is BEAUTIFUL! This is one of those stories where the story itself may be good and enjoyable, but the art pulls you in and you just want to focus on that and not the words! LOL! While I definitely DID read this story, I was very captivated by the art. I really enjoyed the way the dragons were drawn and the "costume designs" were on point! SO pretty! Also, I wouldn't usually say a man is pretty, but Commander/Lord Hubert sure is prettily drawn!The story itself was really engaging! I liked Melissa a lot and deeply loved her love for dragons, especially in how it seems to be a big thing in this "romance." And I say romance with quotes because there doesn't seem to be much of any romance yet. I think the faking to be a lover thing is what will most likely the catalyst in relation to future volumes. However, there is one character that definitely seems to already have feelings for a certain someone…I really liked the world-building in this, *especially* when it came to the dragons. That was super fascinating and was pretty surprised by how much depth this world-building has. I don't read a lot of fantasy manga, but this one takes the cake in that regard!Overall, this was a fun and good read! I wouldn't say there are a lot of high stakes, but there is a political drive that is tied to the dragons that I find very interesting. Plus, in between Lord Hubert's bluntness with other people and Melissa's sweetness, they have what I think will be an intriguing romance to read about!Recommended to those who love dragons, sweet heroines, and great world-building that ties into the plot!

Beautiful artwork, great pacing, lovely start to the story. A great read to snuggle up under a blanket, and drink a cup of coffee or tea with.
