User:MsKobayashi

Hello! I'm MsKobayashi, a tomboy in her 20's who has been a fan of the Dragon Maid series since 2017. She/Her, please! My favorite character is Kobayashi, and my second favorite character is Tohru (although that new character from Chapter 127 is also cool!). I previously ran a meme account all about Dragon Maid, although that account ceased to exist many years ago. Funnily enough, Dragon Maid was one of the shows that made me realize I'm bisexual-- I thought, "Oh, shoot! I think I relate to Kobayashi and her life!".

What is Dragon Maid, and is it the right series for me?

Dragon Maid-- full name 小林さんちのメイドラゴン [Kobayashi-San Chi no MAID DRAGON aka Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid]-- is a relatively new rom-com & slice-of-life anime with yuri elements.

It also contains some instances of lolicon and shotacon, although these are few and far between. The mangaka, Cool-kyou Shinja, has published (and is currently still publishing) adult works about or outside of Dragon Maid that can be defined by their loli, shota, and monster girl characters. These works are NOT made for those under the age of 18, and their themes are not suitable for everybody! Most (if not all) of these works revolve around ffm [female/female/male ], femdom, mind break, and even assault-- I would know; I'm the dumb girl who decided to take a look at these works to see how bad they were (don't be like me!). Having said this, Dragon Maid is fairly tame if you disregard certain chapters (Chapter 37, Chapter 46, Chapter 81, Chapter 120, Chapter 122, Chapter 125, etc.). It revolves around the life of your typical Tokyoite OL [Office Lady ], Kobayashi, when she cluelessly saves the life of an injured dragon and proceeds to invite her into her home in the midst of a drunken stupor. The dragon, also known as Tohru, falls madly in love with Kobayashi, and sees to it that she becomes the latter's personal housemaid when she notices a maid café along the streets. Throughout the series, many characters from the world in which Tohru previously lived (the "dragon realm") begin to live in and interact with the human world, some of which being children (Kanna, Ilulu, and Holy Sword come to mind), while others come-and-go between the two realms (ex. Telne).

I recommend this series to any person looking for a down-to-earth, wholesome (again, excluding some scenes), and comedic slice-of-life show with some pretty great fight scenes. The manga is still being updated, albeit pretty slowly.

Please do not send any hatred towards Cool-kyou Shinja, KyoAni (the studio behind the making of the anime adaptation), or any other individuals involved with the Dragon Maid project, but feel free to let your thoughts be known and protest if you believe that to be the right course of action to take.

Enjoy Dragon Maid For Yourself!
