A serialization of the webcomic of the same name. Youta wanted a friend, so obviously, he magically summoned one. He didn't quite count with the fact that he'd summon Mumu, a mighty and evil dragon girl, notwithstanding that due to hundreds of years of imprisonment, she's very needy, very weepy, very clingy, and lonelier than the button "9" on a microwave oven. Note: Began commercial serialization in Magazine Pocket on August 4, 2021. Includes one extra and one bonus chapter.

★ 3.5/5

A sunny, low-stakes fantasy about a boy who summons a dragon-girl as a friend, and the lopsided friendship gives this cancelled comedy a charming, heartfelt pull.

Pros

Warm, offbeat friendship
Bright, cosy fantasy tone

Cons

Cancelled before the story fully develops
Gags can repeat across chapters

Read the full take

Youta wanted a friend, so, obviously, he magically summoned one. That is a delightfully silly hook: a lonely boy who gets exactly what he asked for, and then has to figure out what a friendship with a dragon-girl actually involves. The series is built on that gap between wish and reality, and the comedy is gentle and sincere.The strength is the warmth. Youta and his strange companion bounce off each other well, and the everyday situations that arise are funny and sweet. The fantasy trappings give the chapters a bright, cosy look.The weaknesses are clear. The series was cancelled early, so the story never fully builds its world or its cast. Some gags repeat, and readers hoping for a long arc will be disappointed.Recommended for readers who enjoy light, friendly fantasy comedy. Expect a warm, brief ride that ends sooner than you'd like.
