My Daughter Is a Dragon!

A graduate student's life is turned upside down when the long-lost daughter he never knew about turns up on his doorstep. He takes her in at her mother's request, and his life takes a surprising turn for the better. The premise is a fish-out-of-water family drama with a fantasy twist, and it is warmer than its premise suggests.The strength is the everyday warmth. The routines of a new family feel real, and the dragon element adds charm without taking over. The full-colour art gives the characters expressive faces, and the father's growth is sincere.The weaknesses are clear. The fantasy aspect is secondary to the family drama, so readers wanting magic may be disappointed. Some arcs drag, and the long run can feel repetitive.Recommended for readers who like heartfelt family stories with a light fantasy touch. Expect a warm, steady read.
