Dragon Eye (Japanese: 龍眼-ドラゴンアイ-, Hepburn: Ryū Gan -Doragon Ai-) is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Kairi Fujiyama. The manga was serialized in Kodansha's manga magazine, Monthly Shōnen Sirius. The manga is licensed in North America by Del Rey Manga. Since early 2008, the series has been on hiatus in Japan, apparently due to the creator's illness. The manga features a squadron of fighters (called VIUS)who are immune to "D-virus" and the Dracule which is a group of creatures who spread the "D-virus". The series has continued under the name Dragon Eye RT (龍眼RT) in Japanese and has released about 4 volumes.
Dragon Eye was ranked equal fourth with Black Sun, Silver Moon and Zombie-Loan on an About.com's reader poll for the best shōnen manga of 2007. It was also nominated as one of Young Adult Library Services Association's 2008 Great Graphic Novels.
