Learning to ride and tame dragons comes easy to most students at Ansarivan Dragonar Academy—except for first-year student Ash Blake, who is known by his classmates as the “number one problem child.” Poor Ash is the laughing stock at school because, despite his unfashionably large star-shaped brand that marks him as a future dragon master, he has nothing to show for it. His dragon has never appeared. Until now, that is. One fateful day, Ash's dragon awakes in full glory, but appears different than any dragon ever seen before—in the form of a beautiful girl! What's worse, Ash soon discovers that this new dragon has attitude to spare, as she promptly informs him that she is the master, and he, the servant.
Ash's problems with dragon riding have only just begun.

!!Tropes in the series
* BalancedHarem: There's a two-tier format with Eco and Silvia being equal love interests for Ash. A bunch of minor girls also like him and stay around for {{Fanservice}}.
* BladeOnAStick: Rebecca uses an extremely powerful magic spear that can't miss, Gae Bolg.
* BlueBlood: [[RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething Silvia]] and [[TheOjou Rebecca]].
** Subverted in [[spoiler: Jessica's]] case, as she is just pretending.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Most of the girls pull this at one point or another.
* ClothingDamage: If a zombie dragon uses its tentacle to attack or wrap its opponent, their clothing will dissolve.
* CoolSword: Lots of arc weapons take this form.
* CutShort: The manga covers up to seven volumes of the light novel before abruptly ending, with the characters narrating how the lingering plot threads wrapped up in the DistantFinale. The anime doesn't even get that far, ending at the finale of the first major story arc.
* DemotedToExtra: Dr. Angela Cornwell, an [[BuxomIsBetter extremely buxom]] dragon researcher and powerful magic user. She's introduced near the beginning of the series, quickly established as a maniac scientist who nearly dissects Echo, and ends her first appearance as the new teacher at school, setting her up as a somewhat antagonistic mentor figure. She then promptly ''never does anything important again'' -- in the anime and manga, at least.
* DesignItYourselfEquipment: Eco's role in battle is to enter a mental Atelier, create a weapon/armor set from scratch, and send it to Ash for usage.
* {{Dracolich}}: One started to rampage in town, eventually.
* DragonRider: The Breeders. A dragon is born from a starmark they receive in a special ceremony when they are young, and only that Breeder can ride that dragon, save for Ash Blake, who can ride any dragon.
* DragonTamer: At the titular Academy, people train to ride and tame dragons, making most characters this trope by default.
* FantasticArousal: Eco gets aroused from a particular herb, which is said to have an effect similar to alcohol (that is, lowering inhibitions). Unfortunately, it's apparently a popular filling in her TrademarkFavoriteFood, crepes. She also get aroused from biting and licking on her undeveloped horns - [[{{Foreshadowing}} which proves to be a key point later on]]...
* HiddenBuxom: The light novels and manga features a SweetPollyOliver named Oscar, whose figure is passable as a disguised man without a problem, but when she's revealed as a girl, she turns out to have one of the largest busts of the cast, [[FanService somehow.]]
* NaughtyTentacles: Infamous for this. The light novels, anime and manga all have instances where the female characters are bound by clothes-dissolving [[TentacleRope tentacles]], which always seem to stop ''just'' short of making the series a {{Hentai}}.
** Funimation leans into this with the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5sten_LZL9I Special Edition DVD collection]], which features a transparent slipcover with tentacles stenciled on either side, plus six cards featuring the main female characters [[{{Fanservice}} with most their clothes torn off]].

Do NOT leave this out when company is calling.
* OneCastMemberPerCover: The majority of the covers for the light novels have one girl with a dragon on the background. Aside from Eco, the girls don't get to appear by themselves on several covers. From volume 17 to the last, however, all covers have at least two characters.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Dragons come in different breeds:
** Asia: four-legged land dragons.
** Hydra: aquatic dragons.
** Strada: two-legged winged dragons (i.e.: Wyverns).
*** With time all three can become Maestros, four-legged winged dragons who are also comfortable in the water; [[AllYourPowersCombined holy dragons]].
* OutdoorBathPeeping: In Volume 6, Rebecca takes Ash to a lake where [[{{Bifauxnen}} Oscar]] is taking a bath, causing Ash to discover Oscar is a girl.
* PowerTattoo: The Seikoku of the Breeders is a tattoo that allows them to get a baby dragon and raise it.
* PoweredArmor: The Arcs kinda act like this, crossed with ClothesMakeTheSuperman.
* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Other than Dragonar Academy (the commonly accepted localization of the title), the name of the series itself could be, depending on interpretation (or even official sources), Seikoku no Ryuu Kishi[[note]]if you directly pronounce the kanji[[/note]]/Dragonar/Dragner/Dragoner. Also, the breeder's dragon counterpart is known as a Parr, a Pal, or a Steed, depending on which version you're reading.
* TentacleRope:
** A zombie dragon tends to wrap up its opponent with its tentacles, which dissolve clothing.
** Mordred is the villain who ''loves'' fetishizing this trope. Anytime it grabs some girls, be prepared for a borderline tentacle rape scene.
* TwoFirstNames: Ash Blake, Rebecca Randal, Maximillian Russel and Jessica Valentine.
* WholesomeCrossdresser: Ash ends up crossdressing at one point.
* UnwantedHarem: Ash isn't looking for a girlfriend, but still gets a harem of girls that doesn't seem to stop growing.
