The dragon has spent 5,000 years pretending to be weak, and one season wasn't enough to break that habit. Reiko's short fuse colliding with his elaborate lies creates the kind of absurdist comedy that lands harder with each episode, the setup and payoff perfectly timed. This show knows that the funniest moments happen when characters refuse to stop digging, and it never lets them climb out.

The misunderstanding continues in this second season of the fantasy comedy. The five-thousand-year-old herbivorous dragon, still taken for an evil dragon, travels with the young girl whose hidden powers his white lie once awakened, and the pair reach Asgar, a country new to both of them. There he is swept into an intricate conspiracy and ends up taking the blame again and again. All he wants is a quiet life, yet each new incident locks him more firmly into the villain's role and carries him ever closer to toppling the demon king.
