Kobayashi-San Chi No Maid Dragon (Miss Kobayashi'S Dragon Maid)

The anime Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon has the following description: When Kobayashi is about to start a new day at work, she opens the door of her apartment and finds an unusually terrifying sight: the head of a dragon staring at her from the balcony. Immediately, the dragon transforms into a pretty, buxom, energetic young woman dressed as a maid, who introduces herself as Tohru.

It turns out that the stoic programmer had crossed paths with the dragon the night before on a drunken excursion into the mountains and, as the mythical beast had nowhere to go, had offered her a place to stay in her home. Thus, Tohru had arrived to take advantage of the offer, willing to reciprocate her savior’s kindness by working as her personal servant. Though deeply regretful of her words and reluctant to keep her promise, a mixture of guilt and Tohru’s incredible dragon skills convince Kobayashi to take the girl in.

Despite being extremely efficient at her job, the maid’s unorthodox methods in household chores often end up horrifying Kobayashi and, at times, bring more trouble than help. In addition, the circumstances behind the dragon’s arrival on Earth seem to be much more complicated than they appear at first glance, as Tohru carries some heavy emotions and painful memories. To make matters worse, Tohru’s presence ends up attracting several other mythical beings to his new home, bringing with it a host of eccentric personalities.

Although Kobayashi does her best to handle the crazy situation she has found herself in, nothing has prepared her for this new life with a dragon maiden.
