About
"Dragons doing chores, and meaning it"
A stressed office worker named Kobayashi accidentally frees a dragon from another world, who then shows up at her apartment insisting on becoming her live-in maid. What follows is a warm, episodic slice-of-life comedy about dragons adjusting to human society, cooking disasters, neighborhood errands, and a growing makeshift family that includes a dragon child enrolled in school. It's silly and often ecchi in its humor, but underneath the fan-service and fantasy gags sits genuine sweetness about loneliness, belonging, and unlikely domestic love.
Watch it for
the surprisingly tender found-family warmth hiding underneath the silly dragon-maid fan-service premise.
Maybe skip if
you're uncomfortable with frequent ecchi humor and fan-service played for laughs.

On a mission to find Tohru appears Kanna, a little dragon with a big attitude. Before she knows it, Kobayashi’s got a house full of dragons—one serving tail and the other serving serious moe! Together, they live side by side with only the occasional disaster…well, maybe. But nothing beats coming home to the warm welcome of a dragon maid!

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid S2021

A strange turn of events leads the Dragon, Tohru, to work as Miss Kobayashi's maid. She occasionally (that's a lie, she often) causes trouble for her beloved Miss Kobayashi while blending into human society and splendidly (that's a lie, only mediocrely) carrying out her maid duties. Her fellow dragons, Kanna, Lucoa, Fafnir, and Elma all find their own places to fit in as well and enjoy interspecies interactions with the humans. Yet while they're all enjoying that laid-back and occasionally turbulent left, the threat of a new Dragon swoops down upon Miss Kobayashi.
