Synopsis

Death is the end... At least, that is the case for most people. After an ordinary salesman dies in a car crash caused by a couple making out, he is reincarnated in another world as a fierce and powerful dragon. However, being an evil dragon has its own share of problems, as adventurers and evil-beings alike seek him out in attempts to slay him.

Kuroe, one adventurer who hasn't given up on defeating the dragon, keeps facing him in order to test herself and prove her mettle. But after suffering another loss, Kuroe and the evil dragon "Ja" have a heart-to-heart. With a new understanding between them, they leave Ja's home and set off for town together. Though their companionship is brief, it paves the way for Ja's hilarious travels and his many encounters throughout the world.

Late Review, so this is one of the very first manga titles I read when I was new to the hobby.
To add, one of the first Isekai/Regression style stories which exposed me to the genre.
The MC himself is a powerful dragon from head to toe, due to some events he ended up becoming a humanoid of sorts.
His goals are simple, just getting by, living peacefully while dealing with anyone who wants to ruin his lifestyle.
The OP factor is high yet it's reasonable, he only has access to his original dragon abilities which isn't totally broken.

Even though the manga ended a bit suddenly, Tensei was low ...

Sorry. Had to write this review because it annoyed me how good this story could be if not for chapters after 15 or 16. Have tried to keep spoilers to a minimum, but there could be some. Sorry.

The art is clean, easy to read and enjoyable. Which is nice when we get to bloodsplattering later. Nicely detailed.

Main charater is an "evil" dragon (if you read the story until 25 you'll understand) who in the beginning have dragon form. In early story he becomes human, and never shows his true form again except his arms. Not you typical mister nice guy, ISN'T CHASTE, but has borrows ...

Contains some minor spoilers!!

Everybody knows what isekai is: a guy dies and gets reincarnated in another world. Personally, I find that concept very fun and interesting. Even though it's hard to find a good isekai that doesn't fall victim to lazy writing, I always find myself giving isekai titles the benefit of the doubt. I wish I didn't in this case...

Jaryuu Tensei is about a guy that dies and gets reincarnated as a monster, a DRAGON more specifically. Now, how cool does that sound? Well, you'd think it would be easy enough not to fuck up when your protagonist is a fucking dragon, but everything ...
