ドラゴンマガジン (Dragon Magazine) September '04
This is one of the the things that I've wanted to do since last year. In fact, I been subscribing since the July issue (manage to buy a few past issues at the bookstore), but this is the first month where a new series has started so I can start from here. Dragon Magazine is the sister magazine to Dragon Age and is a serialized novels. Physically, it's quite large and is the same size as Newtype (damn, I'm becoming a Kadokawa poster boy), which I particularly like because I can opening it up and read it without having to worry about breaking the spine. While it's a collection of novels, there's always a one-shot manga in every issue. On the novel side though, many a series like Saber Marionette, Slayers, and Full Metal Panic started here along with my current favorite, Maburaho. It'll be a loong while before I catch up to any of the current running series, but I can always start with the new series that show up every so often. This issue has special coverage on Maburaho, Full Metal Panic, Arian Road Replay, and a thorough introduction to the new series, Seiryuuden (Legend of the Sacred Dragon). Bonus comes with a bookmark and a special Slayers card. 聖竜伝 (Legend of the Sacred Dragon) Chapter 1: Shin wanders around riding his racing dragon the plains and finds the hideout where the bandits are. Apparently, he can claim some ransom if he brings them in. He kills 4 of them and is about to apprehend the last one, who's riding on horseback, when Latkis finally shows up on his dragon. They tie him up but it's soon getting late and they probably can't make it back to town before midnight. On top of that, Shin doesn't particularly like the owner of the dragon's he's borrow from. Latkis tells him that they could just ditch their barter and escape with the dragons and the bandit's loot rather than go back and meet the owner. However, Shin won't allow that as Latkis has items from his deceased family that he left as a trade for the dragons and Shin won't let him just abandon those personal treasures. As it's getting darker, they spot a bonfire and Shin goes to check it out. It's a group of religious druids who manage to kill Shin's dragon with their poisonous arrows and take both Shin and Latkis hostage. Since they're about to kill them anyway, they don't telling them what they're doing. They're trying to find the remains of the High King Dragon as they believe that ingesting it will give them immortality and allow their leader to revive their cult. They've already got one of the High King Dragon's scale so they know their close. However, all of a sudden, a real flying dragon appears and swoops down upon them. The druids get knocked over in the ditches they're digging and stab themselves with their poisonous arrows. Shin and Latkis manage to run away, but not before seeing the dragon, which is supposed to be long since extinct, fly in the night sky. (Comments are Closed) |
