Synopsis of Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid:
When Kobayashi sets out to embark on a new work day, he opens the door of his apartment and finds an unusually terrifying image: the head of a dragon staring at it from the balcony. Immediately, the dragon transforms into a pretty, energetic, gorgeous young woman, dressed as a maid, who presents herself as Tohru.
It turns out that the stoic programmer had crossed the dragon the night before on a drunken excursion to the mountains and, since the mythical beast had nowhere to go, it had offered him a place to stay at his house.
Thus, Tohru had arrived to take advantage of the offer, ready to reciprocate the kindness of her savior working as her personal servant. Though deeply sorry for her words and reluctant to keep her promise, a mixture of guilt and Tohru’s incredible dragon abilities convince Kobayashi to welcome the girl.
Despite being extremely efficient in their work, the unorthodox methods of the maid’s housework often end up horrifying Kobayashi and sometimes bring more problems than help. Also, the circumstances behind the arrival of the dragon on Earth seem to be much more complicated than it seems at first glance, since Tohru carries some heavy emotions and painful memories..
As if that were not enough, Tohru’s presence ends up attracting several other mythical beings to their new home, which brings with it an endless number of eccentric personalities. Although Kobayashi does everything possible to handle the crazy situation in which he has been immersed, nothing has prepared her for this new life with a dragon maiden.
