Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon to reveal information about its movie soon
Information about Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon:
Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon, also known as “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid” in the West, is a slice of life fantasy manga that began its serialization in Gekkan Action magazine, which belongs to Futabasha publishing house, in May 2013. The work is written and illustrated by the mangaka Cool-kyou Shinja, who has worked on other manga such as Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi and Komori-san wa Kotowarenai!
Thanks to the good reception of the public with the manga Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon, in the year of May 2016 it was announced the production of an anime adaptation for the work. The series began broadcasting in Japan on January 11, 2017 and consisted of a total of 2 exciting seasons, with a total of 25 episodes and 2 OVAs.
The animation studio Kyoto Animation and the direction of the first season was in charge of Yasuhiro Takemoto, while in the second season Tatsuya Ishihara took the reins. The series is available legally on the Crunchyroll platform and has an English dub.
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.
