Drifting Dragons
A manga about a troupe of hunters who take to the skies to hunt and eat dragons in a fantasy world.
Food manga is a favorite genre of mine. Sometimes manga about eating fantastical creatures can be good(Delicious in Dungeon) and other times it can be bad(Youkai Gohan: Shinsen no Ryourinin). This book is definitely one of the good ones, as the dragons are a fantasy stand in for whaling.
I also love that this series feels like it belongs in the world of Hayao Miazaki’s Castle in the Sky, with airships taken right out of that movie.
Available in English from Kodansha Comics.
