Read the full take

Dragon Goes House-Hunting is a warm, funny story about a dragon who is bad at being a dragon. Letty is kicked out of his father's home and has to find a place of his own in a world that sees him as material for armour. That setup is simple, and the series makes the most of it. The search for a safe home drives the story and gives the early chapters a clear goal. The art is clean and expressive, and the dragon's awkward moments carry most of the comedy. The drawbacks are that the gags are fairly simple and repeat the same formula, and the stakes stay low for much of the run. The series is finished across ten volumes, so it reads as a complete story. Readers who enjoy cozy fantasy with a lovable lead will find it a pleasant read. Those who want high tension may find it gentle. A charming, low-pressure comedy with a dragon you will want to root for.
