Throughout his childhood, Asagi heard tales about Lord Tenran, the gorgeous and noble demon king of the east, which he took to heart. The fact that Asagi is descended from a dragon means that he will one day, serve Lord Tenran in the same capacity as his mother did, but when that day comes, his expectations were let down.
Lord Tenran is not only pompous and vulgar, but also a total jerk who loves taunting Asagi about getting him in bed! This manga is for the yaoi fan readers!

Usually, monsters don’t have to clean up where they stay but not with sister Clara around. Basically, this manga tells a story of a nun cleaning up a dragon’s lair.
Who’d have thought a story about cleaning would be entertaining and fun. These mangakas just have an amazing way with storytelling.
Personally, I found the cleaning tips to be quite endearing. Growing up, I never had to worry about cleaning anything because we had a housekeeper to take care of it for us. I just knew how to use a vacuum, a mop, and a cloth soaked in soap. These days, I frequently assist with cleaning and have found it to be unusually enjoyable.
Overall, the manga achieved its goal of teaching readers about cleaning while also serving as a humorous fantasy read.

We’re all familiar with the legends about dragons’ incredibly long lifespans. Well, this manga narrates the story of an ancient strong dragon that had lived for years and grew bored of existence. This dragon chose to die when the heroes came for his life. However, during his dying moments, he realized he had been reborn as a human.
We’ve seen a lot of reincarnation storylines where humans are reborn as monsters, but this manga does the opposite, and it’s done brilliantly.
Returning to our dragon, the Dragon was reborn as a farmer’s child and now lives on the frontier, wielding immense quantities of power due to his Dragon’s soul. He was living his best life as a human when he came upon a formidable demon army. So, what happens afterwards? Check it out for yourself.
This manga has a nice blend of action, adventure, fantasy, shounen, and supernatural genres, and it’s one of my favorite dragon series of all time (among others).

Dragons can be dangerous, and as well be KAWAII!! In this manga we follow the story of Miss Kobayashi and some Kawaii dragons.
Miss Kobiyashi’s Dragon Maid is a lighthearted slice-of-life manga about Kobayashi, a workaholic otaku software programmer who goes about her life as an average Japanese salary woman until she encounters Tohru, a dragon who can transform into a human female. Tohru resolves to work as a maid for Miss Kobayashi to repay her for saving her life.
Because it’s a lighthearted comedy, the plot isn’t particularly deep but the artwork and the cast of characters make up for it; This manga is for you if you’re looking for a fun way to pass time.

House hunting, as we all know, can be frustrating; attempting to find a home that precisely suits one’s needs. Now what would happen if a big, terrifying dragon goes house hunting?
Well, in this manga we follow the story of Letty, a dragon disowned by his parents for his cowardice. Now he must find his own home. However, Letty is shy, weak and cowardly compared to other dragons. Which serves as a disadvantage till he meets Dearia, an elf who saves him from a troop of heroes.
Dearia, a real estate agent and architect, offers to assist him in his search for the ideal home. Thus, Letty’s house-hunting adventure begins, complete with all the fantastical creatures he encounters along the way!
Personally, I feel the protagonist has a really appealing attitude; it’s unusual to find a crybaby and naive protagonist who is also likeable; he’s a lovely one, if I may say so. The plot isn’t particularly deep but the artwork, cast of characters, comic reliefs and the perfect balance of the fantasy world make up for it

We all know dragons to be strictly carnivorous and ferocious but the reverse is the case in this manga as we follow the story of a 5000-year old extremely harmless vegan dragon.
He was mistaken for Jaryuu-sama, the Demon King Army’s Executive Evil Dragon, and was offered a sacrifice (a girl) from a nearby village because of his intimidating figure.
The fundamentally meek and timid dragon tried sending her away, but the ardent sacrifice refused to give up. In order to get rid of her, he played along and lied. However, this little white lie awakened her hidden abilities, and his simple life came to an end.

Yet another concept for reincarnation into another realm as a dragon. Jaryuu Tensei narrates the story of an unlucky salesperson who is tragically killed in a car accident caused by a couple making out. (Just how unfortunate is that!) He is, however, resurrected as a powerful and badass yet funny dragon in a fantasy universe. Being an evil dragon, on the other hand, comes with its own set of issues, since adventurers and bad beings alike seek him out in an attempt to defeat him.

Normally, when a character is reincarnated into a fantasy realm, they are usually given superpowers or skills to assist them in surviving. However, in this manga, our main character was reincarnated to a fantasy realm as a dragon egg with no limbs or legs.
He finds himself in the middle of a jungle filled with frightening monsters. Even while he’s still an egg, he still has a chance to survive in the jungle since he will hatch at some point in time and eventually grow into a powerful dragon. Now we follow him on a quest to get stronger and survive the jungle for as long as he can.
