The Dragon School Is Atop the Mountain

Sometimes love doesn’t happen in a flash or a bang or a sparkle of fireworks.

And so, romance with a handsome heart-throb blossoms in such a small world…
From the author of the bittersweet coming-of-age love story featuring all kinds of furry and not-so-furry zodiac animals, Fruits Basket, Natsuki Takaya presents a new mini-series featuring not only a cute couple but another furry friend…!

Now Non-chan seems confused, too, but no matter. Akari just knows she’s found her new BFF!

Every few years, a human appears out of nowhere in the world of demons and monsters!

How could you not want to keep a human?
