Despite having starred in several controversies regarding its curious design, which many people have considered “childish and disproportionate”, Ilulu has become one of the characters “loved and protected” by fans of the franchise “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid” (Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon).
This can be seen in the moments when the author of the original manga, Cool-kyou Shinja, posts an illustration of the Ilulu character on his official Twitter/X account and draws the public’s attention to its content. Unexpectedly, the author of the popular manga “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid” has surprised Ilulu’s fans by presenting a special adorable illustration inspired by this dragon.

Leaving behind the approach where we can see Ilulu with different outfits that have been highlighted by the otaku community for how they showed the voluptuous body of the dragon, this illustration presents her with a school uniform. Although it seems that this uniform had some problems in the bust part of the character and due to the huge chest of Ilulu we can see how her shirt seems to be suffering to contain the “bags of fire”.
However, this new version of Ilulu aroused the interest of the public, who have been captivated with her school clothes and many of them have shown in the comments that the illustration caused them certain feelings of tenderness for how this dragon has been portrayed with this uniform.
This is not the first time that the author of the manga “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid” shares with his followers an illustration of Ilulu. On previous occasions we have seen how Cool-kyou Shinja shows his “affection” for this character by creating various illustrations inspired by this dragon, something that fans usually enjoy very much, since they are usually illustrations where Ilulu’s body is displayed more.
“Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon“, also known as “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid” in the West, is a manga that began its serialization in the Gekkan Action magazine that belongs to the Futabasha publishing house as of 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 Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, in 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.
Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid 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 across 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.
