Is he really a prince?) [One of the remnants of the royal family that fell from power 7 months ago.] Fuurai: When you peruse upon it, you and I are in similar positions! Zushio: I haven't sunk as low as you. (chomp chomp chomp) Fuurai: It was hard to become king in the world of dragons, where one's personal strength determines everything!

[Up until recently, her name was a mystery. (nobody asked)] [Her personality is surprisingly brutal and vicious.] Ruriie: Hey Fuurai! Could you help me carry the dishes? Fuurai: You used to call me "your majesty". Ruriie: I think that it's more friendly without all the titles! Fuurai: I'm not interested in being friends! (...oh fine, I'll help with the dishes...) {...in a way, it's hard for me to deal with her.} Zushio: YOUR MAJESTY. (let's be frieeeends) Fuurai: (WHACK WHACK WHACK) - Page 5 - [REGARDING SILVER] [Zushio's trusty steed, Silver.] Fuurai: May I ask you something? Those paper boards you bring out when you want to express your opinion... When exactly do you write those out?

Poyo: Poyo! - Page 6 - [REGARDING POYO] [If there's anything I don't understand, it's this thing.] Fuurai: (what the hell are you?)

[I DON'T GET IT ONE BIT.] - Page 8 - [A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MOTHER AND SON(?)] Anju: Zushio... I need to ask you... Is Poyo-chan a boy or a girl? Zushio: (WHA-) Sign: Bathroom Poyo: (zoooom) Zushio: Hey Fuurai! Know if Poyo's a boy or girl? Anju: Now, Zushio... What makes you think he'd know that...? Fuurai: Ruriie said it's a boy. [...I suppose nobles are all stupid like this...] Nobles: (trudge trudge) - Page 9 - [A DAY IN THE LIFE OF MOTHER AND SON (II)] Zushio: Poyo... Now that I know you are a man, I will show no mercy!

Zushio: D... don't bother! - Page 13 - Ruriie: {Whoa... she's scrubbing as hard as she can with those slender arms...!} Anju: (Oh... look at the bubbles!)

Caption: Special kid-size knuckles Zushio: {But any bone he cracks calls for such sweet, beautiful revenge... it's okay for me to kill him!} (GRAAAA!) - Page 14 - Ruriie: Hey, Princess Anju... Would you mind not calling me Ruriie-SAMA...? Anju: Ruriie-sama...? Zushio: Hey, Fuurai... Would you mind using -sama in my name--?! Fuurai: Retard-sama? Anju: No...! I can't talk to such a splendid Zuka character without "sama"...!! (nooo! nooo!) Ruriie: ...is that a compliment? Anju: Of course! Fuurai: What's wrong...? An idiotic character like you deserves no "sama"!! Zushio: ...is that a compliment? Fuurai: Shut up! - Page 15 - Anju: Ruriie-sama, please! "Transform" just for me, will you?! Ruriie: No, that's too dangerous!! Fuurai: Zushio, please! "Reincarnate" yourself for me, will you?! Zushio: No, that's too dangerous!! Anju: I suppose I have no choice...! Ruriie: HUH?! Anju: I'M...

Zu-ka-zu-ka-zu-ka-zu-ka Takarazuka!!) - Page 18 - Anju: (cough)(cough!) Mm... - Page 19 - Ruriie: Are you awake now? Your sleeping face is just so adorable, I had to give it another kiss when you woke back up... That second kiss was a punishment for a very naughty princess! Fuurai: Is that what a "Zuka" is? Zushio: (man, let's go somewhere else and play) Anju: Ah... Ah... (Kyaaaaaaaaa) - Page 20 - [ZUSHIO'S BAND IN A NUTSHELL] Fuurai: I am accompanying you on your journey until I can find a way to turn from a rod back into a dragon! I am only using you. That's why I'm providing you with my assistance. Don't get the wrong idea!! Zushio: ...uh, nobody said anything. (neurotic) Fuurai: SILENCE! - Page 21 - Anju: Ruriie-sama. Ruriie: (um) Anju: Ah... Fuurai: {The one who planted the kiss is most wounded by it...} (why is that?) {400 years ago I tried to destroy the audacious human race... But staying together with these people for a little while longer may prove to be surprisingly enjoyable.} Zushio: (pat pat) Poyo: (Her masculine side is evolving...) Ruriie: I can't believe my first kiss was with a girl! Anju: ...I know. I will take full, full responsibility. Ruriie: Stop making those kind of jokes! Zushio: Fuurai! Mayo!
