Dragon Drive seems like it will be a cute manga series. A high school boy that's not good at anything tries his hand at a high-tech virtual reality game that allows the player to ride and interact with a dragon partner during battles with other players. He gets paired up with a pathetically scrawny dragon, and has to figure out how to make it fight. The interaction with his dragon is pretty funny since everyone else seems to have huge, powerful dragons. The fact that there were several battles in volume one seemed a little repetitive, but the cute dragon made up for it.

I loved the premise of this book. Set in a world equivalent to our 19th century, in the world of Darwin etc, except this world has dragons, and using a woman was as a protagonist of course highlights all the difficulties such a person might encounter.

The idea of having it as her memoir, for me while clever, was it's major weakness. Due to the character and it's time period, there was an understandable stiltedness to the narrative, but this was not something you could get over.

However, I am tickled enough to continue with the series one day, but not enough to do so straight away.
