Wow, this looks astoundingly mediocre.
having to resort to cheesy fanservice in chapter 1 isn't a good sign.

Looks like this series will be very sexual in nature.
Wow, if those last scans didn't say borderline porn…
WTF… Aren't there good little kids that still read Shonen Jump anymore?!
sigh
Class time, children. Some of you don't know what fanservice is,

If that's not fanservice, then that's sure one bad soft core porno.
Point Taken…
On the other hand, it has my nomination for best new manga. I could understand the hate though, that's... surely not going to appeal to everyone (or anyone decent, for that matter.)

Considering Japan is notorious for heinous sexual content I wouldn't doubt that this is standard affair. I mean they weren't born perverts, they grew into it.
EDIT: So last week was Shounen Jump's tribute to male nudity (with Franky, Blue Dragon's Lead, and Taizo.) but this week seems to be all about dominatrixes.
SPOILER FOR BLEACH AND ONE PIECE
! With Robin grabbing Franky's balls, That new Arrancar chick in Bleach, and now this…
Great day to be me :D
After reading chaper 1 i think this manga, and game, show AMAZING potential
It will depend on the supporting characters.
man i wanna play the game so bad…
i bet that the author has read a french comic called "666" before doing this.
So…uhhhh...Scanlations where?

Chapter 3 RAW.
Boobs fondling in the first chapter and pedo nudity in the third! Guro and furry porn guaranteed before chapter 12! This manga is going places!
Buuhan1 gives this manga 3 thumbs up! (You'll get it in a moment or two.)
Chapter 4 RAW.

Congratulations Blue Dragon Ral Grado, you've gone one chapter without featuring blatant sexual overtones. I'm sure someone will be proud.
I just found it odd that in chapter 4 the woman stated that the kid has a pure heart after he blatantly stated that he was going to sexually harass the princess. A contradiction if I've ever seen one, he may be clueless about general things like… life but the main character is far from innocent or pure.
Yes, it's little things like this that totally kill a story for me, crappy script, horrible plot, and unappealing characters...... plus there's the fact that this borderline hentai is really reminding me of Tenjou Tenge shudders.
Still no scanlations of this yet?
Several scanlations, check Tokyotosho.
Just read all 4 chapters. Currently its pretty boring, but this manga could become very good or utter shit, it all depends on how its handled with the next few chapters.

Chapter 5 RAW.
Chapter 6 RAW. http://www.sendspace.com/file/fhsv28
A 2 chapter streak isn't that bad…
Blue Dragon manga by Obata is total crap right now, I do hope it gets better.
Though I'll keep reading it being a fan of Obata's work but he seriously needs to change some stuff about it if he wants it to get better.
Obata finally makes a main character who doesn't freak out at the sight of boobs in a shounen manga and puts his art style to good use and you guys hate it. Excuse me while I say, lol.
But this just isn't his style of manga, he is usually more "serious" than comedic.
Haha boobs, funny.
is there a group doing this series: scans seem to have stopped at chap 9…
I think kefi is, though they don't announce it probably due to shame :X
bump
volume 1 cover
Damn, no boobies on the cover. THE COVER IS A LIE!
It's a cover-up! Ah-ah-ah-ah! chumps cigar
This is the most cutting edge manga that I have ever seen in Shounen Jump. I read the whole thread, and I'll start reading this manga later. It seems that this manga really made people get into it with a lots of reasons. Takeshi Obata, Nudity, etc.
As a lot of people have already said, I hope this doesn't turns into pure shit and the storyline is good. I have a lot of porn in my computer, thank you.
So how do I go about summoning Capt Carter with the "Just as Planned" screenshot?
! The series might be ending in two weeks
I haven't read it beyond like the first 3-5 chapters. Is it ending due to actually ending or being canceled…or both?
is there more blue dragon manga then the ral-grado one? im a little confused as there seems to be some blue dragon story previous to the ral-grado manga. (there seems to be a game out)
cant imagine that the story would resolve in 2 weeks. they have started talking about a character that has yet to apear and in addition to that they need to defeat another char they havent started fighting yet.
if bluedragon stops im going to be so sad. this and one piece is all that keeps me goin while im waiting for the next (irregular) chapter release of Mx0 =(
Well we got more confirmation regarding Blue Dragon's death: Obata's confirmed he's working in the new Monthly magazine for Jump (starting in November) on a new collaborative series with Masanori Morita (Rokudenashi BLUES, Rookies). Personally, I say good luck to the two of them.
d a m n i t . = (
Noes! I love the Blue Dragon manga. They can't just let it die :cwy:
They can and they will
Oh well, glad I didn't follow the series now.

There's another manga, but it's a gag manga. It uses the characters from the original game (or maybe the anime) but I don't know in which magazine it's serialized or whether or not it's a 4 panel or something. The anime also (sorta) follows the game, but it throws in some fanservice of it's own (approved by Toriyama himself!) so all the purists that frequent this site probably won't care too much to check it out.
And in last week's chapter they said they were going to just go ahead and fight the evil lady who pours liquid all over her body.

Well this sounds a lot better then Blue dragon already.
cool cover, imo
So, I guess the series wont be continued, even in tanks.

Guess they're that desperate for something now that Death Note is over.
You have to be kidding me…why? Just why? Bring out neuro, speed up jojo, and a bunch of other series you could be doing. But no. This.
sigh
Is anyone besides me dissapointed by the ending of this manga? I felt that they really rushed the ending of this manga and that if they would have taken their time with it, the ending probably would be better. For those of you who want to know how it ends:
! Ral fuses with Grado to avoid Obscurias eyes. It is revealed that Obscuria is the clear human but Ral Grado (Ral fused with Grado) destroys her with his blue flame. Then Ral leaves to Noir, leaving all of his friends behind.
If ya ask me, I thought the ending sucked ass for a good manga like this one.
