Hope it won't happen here. I'm fed up with human transformation of dragons in manga. It would be great if the story continues with heartwarming buddy relationship without harem thing.
Indeed. These characters are cool because they're
dragons. I feel vaguely offended when an author seems to think that I'll like them better or empathize more if they turn into hairless monkeys. It's like when hollywood tries to adapt every story from abroad into something about white-people-doing-something-in-America "so that more of the audience can empathize with them", as if they expected the audience to have only the most pathetic and miserable of faculties.
In the meantime, though.
This is
good. Not leaning on the cliche of being "woefully underappreciated by one's guild" that you'd think from the title; it's a lovely slice-of-life of living with dragons, pulling a certain level of depth from the worldbuilding even with fairly simple events (like all the subtleties of trying to tell a heartwarming story in a morally-compromised world where dragons are all slaves. Though at least for now it's dodging asking questions about how ultimately-complicit the protagonist is when he, too, buys them—but it at least
feels like we're supposed to be able to read between the lines there and see how messy things ultimately are, instead of just ignoring it.)
On the flip-side: I'm keenly aware that, at least for the time being, that this is one where if you told me that the original source material was awful, and that every nuance of presentation and significant pause was inserted by the artist, I could easily believe you. Well, we'll see how it goes!
