Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon: New Kanna Kamui figure causes a furor
As usual in this type of figures from the FREEing company, we are presented with the waifu in question with a revealing bunny outfit, which highlights the material in the fishnet stockings that achieves a sensational effect on the product. For this occasion, the chosen one was the dragon Kanna Kamui, a character that has captivated otaku for her adorable design and relaxed personality, and the figure is scheduled to be released for sale in Japan during the month of July 2024.
Good Smile Company has provided the following product description:
From the popular anime series “Kobayashi-San Chi no Maid Dragon” comes a 1/4 scale figure of Kanna, Kobayashi’s little gluttonous dragon! The figure features Kanna in an original bunny costume, based on an illustration by series creator Cool-kyou Shinja.
The figure stands approximately 350 mm tall. Kanna’s adorable pose and her special colorful fishnet tights are just two of the many visual appeals this figure offers. Welcome them into your home and your collection.
The “Kanna: Bunny Ver.” figure will be approximately 350 mm tall and will be available for purchase at a price of 33,000 yen, which is equivalent to $222.56 US dollars. As we have previously mentioned, some people have shown some disagreement and anger for presenting Kanna with this outfit and some of the public pointed out that this is a new “se*ualization” of the character.
For quite some time now, the multimedia franchise “Kobayashi-San Chi no Maid Dragon” has been at the center of criticism from certain more sensitive audiences, who do not consider correct some of the things that the series, and especially the original manga, shows to the readers. In previous occasions, we have mentioned to you how the dragon Ilulu was harshly criticized by people due to her design, something similar to what happened to the character Uzaki–chan, unleashing a strong controversy on the internet, reaching the point that some people responded to an image of Hana Uzaki.
However, the dragon “Kanna Kamui“, a character with a more “childish” design, was also singled out at the time by the public. Unlike Ilulu, criticism was directed towards the people who paid homage to her in different ways and towards the author for putting her in more… explicit situations, which caused the Kobayashi-San Chi no Maid Dragon franchise to be singled out again by some people as “immoral”.
The anime Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon introduces us to the life of Kobayashi, who is preparing for another day at work. However, upon opening the door to her apartment, she is met with an unusually terrifying sight: the head of a dragon staring at her from the other side of the balcony. The dragon immediately transforms into a cute, talented and energetic young woman dressed in a maid’s outfit, introducing herself as Tohru.
It turns out that the stoic programmer had encountered the dragon the night before on a hike in the mountains, and having nowhere to go, had offered the creature a place to stay in her home. Therefore, Tohru had arrived to accept the offer, ready to thank her savior’s kindness by working as her personal servant. Although Kobayashi feels deeply regretful for her words and hesitates to keep her promise, a mixture of guilt and Tohru’s amazing dragon skills convince Kobayashi to accept the girl.
Despite being extremely efficient at her job, the maid’s unconventional cleaning methods often end up scaring Kobayashi and, at times, generate more trouble than help. In addition, the circumstances behind the dragon’s arrival on Earth appear to be far more complex than they appear, as Tohru has intense emotions and painful memories.
To top it all off, Tohru’s presence ends up attracting several other mythical beings to his new home, bringing with him a host of eccentric personalities. Although Kobayashi does her best to handle the peculiar situation she finds herself in, nothing has prepared her for this new life with a dragon maid.
