Dragonar Academy (Hepburn: Seikoku no Doraguna, literally "Star-Marked Dragonar") is a Japanese light novel series written by Shiki Mizuchi, illustrated by Kohada Shimesaba, and published by Media Factory under the MF Bunko J imprint. The first volume was released on June 25, 2010, with a total of 20 volumes available in Japan so far. On the continent of Arc Strada, civilians called Breeders raise and train their Pars (literally "steed"), dragons bonded to Breeders via a magical link called the Astral Flow. Races of dragons are born from Breeders who are deemed worthy and marked with a Seikoku (literally "Star Brand") at a young age by the Mother Dragon at the Orphan Rite. Breeders may eventually achieve the rank of nobility by helping their Par become a Maestro, or Holy Dragon. Learning to ride and tame dragons comes easily to most students at Ansarivan Dragonar Academy-except for Ash Blake, a first-year student who is known by his classmates as the "problem child". Despite Ash having an unusually large seikoku that marks him as a future dragon master, his Par had never appeared, until now. While challenging a fellow student, Princess Silvia Lautreamont, to a dragon race, Ash's dragon appears, but in a form different than any dragon ever seen before-a beautiful girl. Ash names her "Eco" and soon discovers that this new dragon has attitude to spare, as she promptly informs him that she is the master, and he, her servant. Ash's problems with dragon riding have only just begun.
