Uh, you're setting the bar too low, I don't think much of anything tops this among 'normal' manga, spoiler[they had their 'first night', with her in her reptile form, see chapters 59-60...]

Not gonna lie, this premise gives me the heebie-jeebies.

It's not even so much the lizard girl part or even turning something like skin-shedding into a fanservice moment. It's the "gathers her skin to make an effigy" part. Building an effigy of your crush out of detritus from their body is just all sorts of creepy, whether it's toenails or ABC gum or skin shards.

I really doubt volume 1 covered 60 chapters, so it's not really considerate to give spoilers for future volumes (I guess from scanlations?) even if spoiler tagged. Only 2 volumes have been released in English, by the way.

So if it's not in the english language then a LN or manga does not exist eh?

Also spoiler tags are for sharing spoilers ... If it's not your cup of tea then do not look.

I mean it's an article/thread about the first volume. Folks are going to assume things in spoiler tags are from -that- volume. It would be different to say what volume/chapters the spoilers where from -outside- the spoiler tags, and then folks can choose whether or not to look, knowing it's from later in the series.

There is no such assumption when it comes to spoilers. Many times we talk about the series as a whole. The whole purpose of spoiler tags is to give you a choice, while still allowing discussion. This has been true of other series whose future spoilers were much more far reaching and impactful.

I like this manga series. Interesting that they spoiler[are going to go that far.], since it is rarely done.

Well, the effect is somewhat lessened due to the fact that spoiler[it happens off-screen between chapters, instead we get a rather extensive description of how a cloaca works. And, they fail that time, copulation between a human and a kodomo dragon(she's literally akin to one in her lizard form) does seem to present some...difficulties, no matter how entrenched one's fetishes...]
