Treasure hunters and the Milky Way dragon

Maruko is a girl who has lost her past memories and acts together with the Galactic Dragon Alco. The two make a living searching for treasures, traveling through different places as a result. Clues about her mother draw Maruko's attention to Earth, and her journey expands from treasure hunting to tracing her own origins.

Arko is both a companion and brings their partnership beyond everyday campus stories. In the official character introductions, Maruko's appetite and their treasure-hunting life are distinctive opening features; The story progresses through adventure, pursuit, and character interaction.

Cartoon ADV's performance

TOKYOTOON categorizes the work as Cartoon ADV. The game interweaves cartoon animation between typical text and illustrated scenes, with character movements and rhythm changes forming part of the narrative. The animation here is not just an opening film but a presentation technique combined with reading passages.

The official promotion uses a large amount of CG and animation as product features. These quantities are based on product introduction and do not equal the number of materials already counted file-by-file; The work page presents the differences without treating the amount of promotion as the process duration.

Name, platform, and language

The Japanese title of the work is "マルコと銀河竜", the English product name is Marco & The Galaxy Dragon, and the Chinese version uses "Maruko and Galaxy Dragon." Both the English 'Marco' and the Japanese 'Marco' refer to the protagonist, not any other work.

The TOKYOTOON product page lists PC titles released on February 28, 2020, along with subsequent platform information, while the Steam product page is credited as Shiravune. Japanese dubbing and multilingual text are supported by voice, interface, or subtitles, and cannot replace each other.

Treasure hunting and searching for mother

Maruko makes a living by searching for and selling treasures in the universe, but she has no memories of her past. Arco was born from a black hole, and after eating, he could transform into human form. He accompanied her and promised to eat her at the most delicious time with the meatballs. Searching for the "mother" brought the two to Earth.

Lizard Rock and the Chaser

Maruko's stolen Lizard Stone user Astaroth, her daughter Haqua, and her subordinate El Skeleton pursue her. Terra is willing to pay a fortune for this stone; Sheila from the destroyed Sand Planet also enters the story with a desire for revenge.

People of Kinyu City

Sakurako Onda protects the city, while her sister Yuko works at a coffee shop. The student council president, Terra, comes from the Isesaki family. Her younger sister Rakka is responsible for financial support, and Takao Kurosaki is her assistant. Ruri works part-time at a soba noodle shop and becomes friends with Maruko; The mayor faces a cosmic crisis and proposes his own plan.

Games and cartoon animation

Cartoon animations are interspersed between text and character illustrations. The game characters were designed by Itsuki Ozora, with Hato responsible for planning and scripting; The animation was directed by Tsukushiyama, with Uro as assistant director, and Yuji Tanaka responsible for character design and participating in animation.

Original soundtrack and limited edition

The game soundtrack includes 52 pieces of music, while the animation soundtrack includes 15 additional items. Kie to Jewel is the opening theme, Universe is the insert song, and Galactic Dragon Poem is the ending theme. The GALAXY EDITION comes with the original soundtrack, animation Blu-ray, storyboard, and other production materials.

Original version and patch

The original was released on February 28, 2020. DVD version 1.01 added content in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese; 1.02 corrected language and corresponding materials; 1.10 added French. The official policy restricts 1.10 to DVD versions with older patches installed first; Steam versions handle this separately.

The sound of childhood music and dosugoro

Ten years ago, Astaroto came to Earth to find Marco because his daughter Hakua loved the piano music on the galactic broadcast, but Dosgoro took her away and raised her first, even teaching her combat skills. During the subsequent battle for the Lizard Stones, Dosgoro and Garguiyu join forces to catch up with Haqua and El Skeleton, with Marco also arriving shortly after.

Haqua's stone-stealing reason

Hakua wants to rebel against her father, but her strength only appears when she's cornered. Astaroth promised that if the Lizard Stone was returned, Marco and the others would be spared, so she took the stone from him. While staying on Earth, she also helped out at El Skeleton's oden shop, and her relationship with the boss's daughter became part of everyday street life.

Sad memories and searching for mother

Marco was once separated from his mother Mitsuko, and the related sad memories were consumed by Arco, causing him to forget this past. Arco's own toothache is also linked to sad memories; In the end, she meets Marco in the memories she eats. The story also features photos handed over to Mitsuko and audio messages heard by Marco during treatment. Her mother's memories and parting with her companions enter her life in the latter half.

Production of the theme song and character voices

HORIPRO's Yuki Saito Works List clearly states that he was responsible for composing, arranging, mixing, and producing "Hunger and Jewel," and included the soundtrack for "Maruko and the Galaxy Dragon" as part of his 2020 work. Voice production was handled by G-angle, who handled casting and audio recording, with TOKYOTOON as the client.

Visual information and text rhythm

The planner and scriptwriter explained that this work uses more screen information to reduce the amount of text being transmitted; The limited use of character art is the result of exploring rhythm.

Quickly convey fun

Kimura from TOKYOTOON cited the immediate fun of mobile social gaming as the creative motivation, hoping the game would quickly become engaging.

The purpose of the animation segment

Animation is prioritized for necessary but often tedious explanations and parts that static images cannot express; Hatoya directly presents the comedic moments on screen, compressing the buildup and responses.

Animation collaboration and overseas feedback

Hato recalled that the cartoon animation was ultimately entrusted to a production team with matching directions, paying attention to how different art styles connected the same character. Kimura said that the team invited people who had never played visual novels to repeatedly try it out for overseas distribution and listen to their feedback.
