Before Naruto's birth, a great demon fox had attacked the Hidden Leaf Village. A man known as the 4th Hokage sealed the demon inside the newly born Naruto, causing him to unknowingly grow up detested by his fellow villagers. Despite his lack of talent in many areas of ninjutsu, Naruto strives for only one goal: to gain the title of Hokage, the strongest ninja in his village. Desiring the respect he never received, Naruto works towards his dream with fellow friends Sasuke and Sakura and mentor Kakashi as they go through many trials and battles that come with being a ninja.

Like stories in any medium, those in light novels are variable in quality. Some series based on them are quite brilliant, some unique, others merely better planned. And some are cliché-peddling genre-slaves as empty as the calories in a Pop-Tart. Of course, sometimes a toasted slab of sugar is what you're looking for. At times like those, you could do worse than Dragon Crisis!.
About the only thing that separates Dragon Crisis! from your average lump of romantic comedy clichés is its light-novel-derived short-story structure. And maybe a little extra depth in its setting. Ryuji is exactly that too-nice, personality-impaired guy we've come to expect from harem romances. He's too bland to really like, too kind to really hate, too weak-willed to resist being dragged into whatever adventure the series feels like staging at a particular time, and, not incidentally, too considerate to stomp on the feelings of women looking to join his harem. The girl-in-a-suitcase gimmick is a classic way of getting that started, and of course she absolutely has to be a superpowered beauty with the body of a thirteen-year-old, the mentality of a four-year-old, and the vocabulary of a two-year-old. And because it's what girls in suitcases do, she's got to imprint on Ryuji and move in with him, whereupon the bathing hijinks and naked glomming can begin. Future arcs introduce another dragon beauty and a feisty wolf-girl with two-tone eyes, both of whom succumb to Ryuji's magnetic personality while he's manfully protecting them. They also keep up the cutesy bonding between Ryuji and Rose, whose hearts, when joined, unleash untold magical powers.
