The Reincarnated as a Dragon Hatchling anime focuses on the titular dragon of the story being reincarnated as an egg in this fantasy world. However, he realizes quickly that he is on the lower echelons of this reality and has to work his way to the top as this kind of creature. He also has to adapt to this new body and the pros and cons that come with this.

This fantasy series was started by Nekoko in 2015 and began to be serialized in August of that same year in Shosetsuka ni Naro, with the most recent release of that platform being in November 2023. The printed version of the series, with art by Naji Yanagida, began publication with Taibundo Publishing in December 2015. It also has a manga adaptation, which was published by Comic Earth Star in May 2017, and is still ongoing with eight volumes as of this writing.
