"Reincarnated as a Dragon Egg ~Aiming for Nothing but the Strongest~" is a mega-popular isekai reincarnation fantasy from the web novel site "Shosetsuka ni Narou."
The original is a novel of the same name by Nekoko-sensei, surpassing 20 million PV in just 4 months after serialization began, claiming the #1 spot in the Dragon genre!
TV anime premiere is confirmed for January 2026, with animation production by "Gakyo" and "Felix Film" as a duo.
A luxurious voice cast has gathered: Junichi Toki as protagonist Irushia, Miku Ito as heroine Miria, and Ami Koshimizu as the mysterious Voice of God!
With the catchphrase "Overly emotional monster battle & survival of a lonely dragon," a growth story with laughter and tears unfolds.
① Ultra-Unique Reincarnation Setting
Waking up as an "egg" in the middle of a forest—what a shocking setting!
Unlike normal isekai reincarnations as humans or slimes, this one starts from an "egg" of all things.
Moreover, to hatch from the egg, you must hunt monsters and level up—an extremely hard mode reincarnation 🥚
② Exciting Evolution System
An interesting system where evolution paths change with each level up.
Egg → Baby Dragon → Plague Hatchling Dragon → and further evolution... getting stronger and stronger.
The possibility of completely different evolutions depending on choices is exciting 🐉
③ The Loneliness of a Dragon Missing Humans
Irushia, who retains memories of his past life, harbors a faint hope of befriending humans.
But in monster form, he only frightens humans... this sadness is a major charm of the story.
The "lonely dragon's" emotional weight tugs at your heartstrings 😢
④ Powerful Monster Battles
Must-see battle scenes unfolding in a survival isekai world.
Irushia fighting with all his wisdom and courage to survive in a survival-of-the-fittest world is cool.
With Hiroyasu Oda handling monster design for the anime, expect powerful battles ⚔️
⑤ Meeting the Kind-Hearted Heroine Miria
Miria, the kind-hearted girl who gave Irushia the name "Irushia."
A healer with strong sense of responsibility and straightforward personality—their bond becomes the story's core.
The friendship and bond transcending human and dragon species is moving 💕
① The Meaning of Evolution to Plague Dragon
The "Plague Hatchling Dragon" that Irushia evolved into is a special existence different from normal evolution routes.
The power this evolution brings and the accompanying risks become important story elements.
Pay attention to the secret hidden in the name "Plague" 🐲
② The True Identity of the Mysterious "Voice of God"
A mysterious voice only Irushia can hear... announcing levels and skills.
But for important questions, it answers "Unable to provide that explanation"—a mysterious existence.
When this voice's true identity is revealed, the story may move significantly 🔔
③ Confrontation with the Demon King
As the story progresses, a confrontation with the Demon King who took over a human castle awaits.
The Demon King is a terrifying existence who gathers adventurers as sacrifices for experience points.
The development where Irushia faces the Demon King to protect Miria is intensely exciting 🔥
④ Meeting Volk the Dragon Slayer
Volk, the skilled swordsman known as "Dragon Slayer."
With a very muscle-brained personality, he somehow gets along with Irushia, a monster.
His existence as someone who could be friend or foe makes the story even more interesting ⚔️
⑤ Bonds with Companions
Many companions join Irushia's journey.
Unique individuals like Treant (an undead monster and kind-hearted mood maker), poison specialists, and more.
Looking forward to the heated development of "everyone returning together alive" 🤝
① Awakening as an Egg
One morning waking up, the protagonist finds himself in an unfamiliar forest.
Moreover, he realizes his body has become an "egg."
Seeing RPG-like status screens, he understands he reincarnated in another world.
While fighting attacking beasts, he somehow manages to level up and successfully evolves into a Baby Dragon 🥚→🐉
② Meeting Miria
Meeting the girl Miria who lives in a village in the forest.
She's one of the few healers in the village with a strong sense of responsibility.
Miria gives Irushia the name "Irushia."
However, feared as a "monster" by villagers, Irushia ends up leaving the village 😢
③ Journey of Evolution and Growth
Irushia fights various monsters, repeatedly evolving while leveling up.
Achieves evolution to "Plague Hatchling Dragon" and gains powerful strength.
New companions like Jewel Rabbit and beastgirl Nina join along the way.
Continuing the adventure aiming to become the strongest in "the surface world" ⬆️
④ Threat of the Demon King
Irushia hears about the Demon King's appearance from a saint on a faraway island.
The Demon King took over a human castle, posing as a princess to gather adventurers as experience point sacrifices.
Meeting Volk with the title of Dragon Slayer, successfully infiltrates the capital as his attendant 🏰
⑤ Reunion with Miria
An unexpected reunion in the capital.
Amazingly, Miria had been working as an adventurer while gathering information about Irushia!
She was also invited to the princess's (Demon King's) party.
To save Miria, Volk, and the adventurers, Irushia steels his resolve and heads to the Demon King's castle 💪
