As Kobayashi sets off for another day at work, she opens her apartment door only to be met by an unusually frightening sight—the head of a dragon, staring at her from across the balcony. The dragon immediately transforms into a cute, busty, and energetic young girl dressed in a maid outfit, introducing herself as Tooru. I was thrown by how much I loved the anime, so what better place to go next then the source material...

Maid Dragon can occasionally be funny-- Tohru visiting Kobayashi's workplace and repeatedly tripping her crabby boss, or challenging one of the other dragons to a fight in another dimension only to close it on them-- but it isn't an anime that is particularly defined by laughs. It is meant more to be relaxing, and, undoubtedly thanks to Kamui's presence, cute, at times adorable. I just wish it didn't have to repeat the same joke about Tohru cooking her tail a million and one times over. Finally there is Kobayashi, our protagonist, that while I find her a pretty bland character, I think that this is exactly her purpose since she is there to bring the heartwarming moments of the series, related to her enjoying having all these weirdos around giving colour to the lifeless world around her due to her personality, I find that scenes well executed and I wish that the series revolved more around the family feel they create.

Whilst every fan of Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid will be desperate for a third season, we may also see the production of a spin-off series or an anime movie. Because Tooru is a dragon, and she is not from here, so everything is new, everything is different and it is so much fun to see her try to fit in, to try and not blow her cover, to try and please Kobayashi (because she really loves Kobayashi (not a spoiler you find that out in the first/second chapter)). I just had so many laughs because of the silliness that Tooru did, totally not understanding that doing such stuff is seen as not good, dirty or downright wrong. :)Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid Season 3 is expected to be released in July 2023; perhaps, an announcement will be made in 2022. English-only manga readers can move forward to Volume 7: Chapter 65 from here: Dragon Maid Chapter 65 if they want to read ahead of the anime Anime Synopsis: Other than those examples and the annoying version of Makoto which I think was also there for comedic purposes the rest was really nice to watch.

Kobayashi, the show's title character and languid protagonist, is a working adult rather than the conventional teenager. Whereas most anime of its nature would choose instead to play a teenager as some pseudo-adult ("my parents are conveniently away on a business trip, so, hey, I have this house and this maid lady all to myself"), Maid Dragon chooses instead to portray real adults with real issues. Kobayashi is so bored with the office-lady routine that she will choose to drink herself halfway to death after a long day's work. Such is life in much of Japan. On the other hand there are some good characters like Kobayachi, Kanna, the other version of Makoto, Fafnir and Elma who was useless but the 1 minute she appeared in in every episode was actually enjoyable.

Kobayashi is a normal girl, can't hold her liquor (and it is just hilarious to see how she acts when she is totally drunk), is a closet otaku, but is also friendly and nice, and during one night she encounters something huge and decides to let the creature live at her place. That creature is Tooru and here the adventures start. In the run-up to Christmas, Tohru is asked by one of the shopping district's retailers to put on a Christmas show for the elderly after he injures himself. Following Riko's suggestion, Tohru and the others decide to put on a play of The Little Match Girl, with Kanna cast in the lead role. Feeling the story wouldn't be interesting enough as it is, the dragons take some creative liberties with the script, resulting in an over-the-top story involving magical girls and demon lords that nonetheless proves a hit with the audience. Afterwards, Kobayashi and Tohru take in a Christmas flight, where they exchange presents.

After being transformed into a male, Kobayashi spends the day fighting her sexual urges until the spell Ilulu placed on her wears off. Afterward, Ilulu is targeted by Cremene, a dragon hunter from the Harmony Faction and Kobayashi steps in to protect her. After briefly escaping, Ilulu confesses to Kobayashi that she always wanted to coexist with humans, but other dragons always dissuaded her, especially after her parents were killed by humans. Cremene finds the duo and decides to kill both until Tohru arrives and defeats him. After recovering at home, Kobayashi befriends Ilulu, who moves into her apartment.
