Description
Ryuugasaki Mamoru is a childcare worker who loves kids, but due to various circumstances has lost his self-confidence. On his way home from work, he hears the voice of a child asking to be saved, and when he answers the plea, he gets sent to another world. He promptly gets run down by a pitch black dragon, resulting in him falling off a cliff and losing consciousness. When he next opens his eyes, he finds himself in a facility designed to care for young dragons. Mamoru starts working there as a staff member under the condition that they certify his identity. On one hand, he’s able to make use of his experience as a caretaker and prove himself, but on the other hand he has to get along with the fickle and hard-to-please black dragon, Kokuyou.

The Caretaker Summoned by a Dragon Child Forms an Eternal Bond with the Obsidian Dragon Review & Spoilers - Novel Translator
My Thoughts on The Caretaker Summoned by a Dragon Child Forms an Eternal Bond with the Obsidian Dragon
Alright, let's dive into "The Caretaker Summoned by a Dragon Child Forms an Eternal Bond with the Obsidian Dragon." It's quite a mouthful, but the story itself… well, it's a mixed bag. I went in expecting a fluffy, feel-good fantasy, and I got something a little more complicated.
First Impressions
The premise is definitely charming: a hardworking, perhaps downtrodden, protagonist suddenly thrust into a fantastical world to care for a dragon child. Cute kids and dragons? Sign me up! The early chapters definitely hooked me with the initial fish-out-of-water scenario and the undeniable appeal of a baby dragon.
What Works Well
The core strength of this novel lies in its characters. Mamoru, our protagonist, is surprisingly well-developed. He isn't just a blank slate; he's got baggage, a history, and a very relatable sense of weariness. The dynamic between him and Kokuyou, the obsidian dragon, is also quite engaging. I found myself invested in their growing bond and the slow-burn romance. The author does a great job of portraying the tenderness and care that develops between them.
Areas of Concern
However, I can see why some readers might struggle with Mamoru's character. His initial reactions to the fantastical events, particularly his persistent "it's a dream" mentality, can be frustrating. While it's understandable given his prior circumstances, it does drag on a bit and requires a fair amount of patience from the reader. It borders on frustrating, even if it does make sense within the context of his character. It could potentially be interpreted as a deeper issue of mental health, which the story doesn't seem equipped to fully address, potentially leading to a shallow resolution.

Final Verdict
Overall, "The Caretaker Summoned by a Dragon Child Forms an Eternal Bond with the Obsidian Dragon" is an enjoyable read with a lot of heart. It's not perfect, and some of its elements might not resonate with every reader, but the strong character development, the heartwarming relationships, and the fantastical setting make it a worthwhile journey. I'd say it's a solid 4/5 if you're looking for a fantasy yaoi with cute kids, dragons, and a protagonist who needs a little bit of love (and maybe a good therapist).
