Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid

On her way out to work, Kobayashi opens her apartment door to an alarming sight: a dragon’s head peering in from the balcony. The creature quickly takes human form, introducing herself as Tooru—an energetic young woman in a maid outfit who insists on moving in.

The night before, the usually unflappable programmer had met Tooru during a drunken trip to the mountains and, seeing the dragon had nowhere to go, offered her a place to stay. Now Tooru has arrived to honor that promise, determined to repay Kobayashi’s kindness by serving as her live-in maid. Kobayashi hesitates, but a mix of guilt and Tooru’s overwhelming capabilities leaves her with an unexpected new roommate.

Tooru may be remarkably competent, yet her unconventional approach to housekeeping often shocks Kobayashi and can create more problems than it solves. As Tooru settles into human life, the reasons behind her presence—and the emotions she carries—hint at complications beyond simple gratitude, while her arrival also draws other mythical beings into Kobayashi’s home, turning a quiet routine into a steadily stranger daily life.
