Outline

Quin Zaza is a dragon hunting boat that travels through the world’s skies to chase and capture dragons. 19 crew members with various goals and circumstances, such as dragon lover Mika, rookie Takita, and Jiro, the son of a dragon hunter, live this journey together. Catching a big dragon will make one rich, but the crew’s lives are always at risk. Their adventures in the sky are drawn with a worldview that also incorporates culture and food.
