Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid

While leaving for work one morning, Miss Kobayashi encounters a dragon that transforms into a girl named Tohru, who insists on becoming her maid. Though surprised and initially hesitant, Miss Kobayashi recalls possibly inviting the dragon into her home the night before while drunk. As she tries to sort things out, she realizes she is nearly late for work.

Miss Kobayashi begins to settle into life with Tohru, and they go shopping together, where Tohru's unexpectedly social behavior surprises her. Tohru later reveals she only pretends to be friendly and admits she does not fully understand human emotions. While Miss Kobayashi is home on a day off, she is startled when a mysterious little girl with horns and a tail suddenly appears at her door.

Kanna begins living with Tohru and Miss Kobayashi, but the small apartment becomes too crowded for the three of them. Miss Kobayashi decides to move and invites Takiya to a housewarming party. Meanwhile, Tohru also invites her dragon companions, Fafnir and Lucoa, to visit the new place.

Kanna, envious of elementary school students, is given the opportunity to attend by Miss Kobayashi. The three visit a shopping district to purchase school supplies, with Miss Kobayashi struggling to navigate a modern stationery store while Tohru and Kanna are fascinated by it. After gathering the necessary items, Kanna prepares to start school.

Tohru, now comfortable with her maid responsibilities, visits Miss Kobayashi's workplace out of curiosity and admiration, witnessing her coworker's dependence on her. When she sees Miss Kobayashi mistreated by her boss, Tohru becomes upset. Later, while out, she encounters Fafnir from another world and helps him find a new home after he decides to stay in this world.

Kanna visits Saikawa's house, where they are joined by Miss Kobayashi and Tohru. They meet a real maid named Josie, with whom Miss Kobayashi immediately bonds. Meanwhile, Lucoa reveals she plans to stay in the world after being summoned by a mage named Shouta, leading to an awkward attempt to connect with him.

Miss Kobayashi and her companions visit the beach, where Lucoa is quickly reprimanded by a lifeguard for wearing an inappropriate swimsuit. After resolving the situation, they enjoy bonding moments like applying sunscreen, sharing a watermelon, and swimming together before heading to Comiket. At the convention, Tohru assists Takiya with his circle, but his horns and wings are mistaken for cosplay.

Kobayashi and Tohru compete in a cooking contest to prepare a lunchbox for Kanna's field trip, but Tohru is disqualified for using a supernatural fruit in her dessert. Later, Tohru's rival, Elma, arrives to demand her return to their world, but Tohru ends the confrontation quickly. With Elma unable to return home, she begins working at Kobayashi's company, which makes Tohru envious.

Kanna is excited about her school's sports festival, but becomes upset when Miss Kobayashi is unable to attend due to work. Miss Kobayashi questions why Kanna wants her there so much, not being her actual parent, but Kanna sees her as a mother figure. Despite encouragement from Takiya, Kanna must face the event on her own, though her dragon heritage may not give her the advantage she expects.

As winter approaches and Christmas nears, Tohru agrees to perform for the residents of a local nursing home. With Miss Kobayashi too busy to oversee the event, Tohru and the others take charge of organizing a play, but their efforts take an unpredictable turn. The performance ultimately goes ahead, leaving Miss Kobayashi anxious as she watches the unexpected outcome unfold.

As the year comes to a close, Tohru wins a kotatsu in a lottery at the shopping district, leading the group to spend time relaxing with Miss Kobayashi. The kotatsu brings a laid-back, lazy atmosphere that affects both humans and dragons, marking a quiet and peaceful end-of-year and New Year celebration for the family. Meanwhile, Tohru and Kanna prepare for their first shrine visit of the year by changing into kimonos.

Tohru, now adept at managing household chores, tries to prepare a perfect omurice dinner at Miss Kobayashi's request, but struggles to afford high-quality ingredients. Determined to bring a smile to Miss Kobayashi, she resorts to an unusual solution. Meanwhile, Miss Kobayashi reflects on her first meeting with Tohru during a tiring commute home.

During a quiet day off, the group enjoys a peaceful time together, but Tohru is struck by a troubling thought while shopping: Miss Kobayashi is human and will eventually die, meaning their time together is limited. Her contemplation turns into emotional turmoil, and her father, the Emperor of Demise, unexpectedly appears, intensifying the situation.

Tohru, confident in her title as the ultimate maid, enters a new cafe with competitive intentions, only to return and discover she's somehow become an employee there. As they continue with their usual routines, Tohru and Miss Kobayashiashi learn that the mountain where they first met has been destroyed.

After successfully sending Ilulu away, Miss Kobayashi is left with a magical item attached to her groin, causing her to view Tohru's ordinary actions in an increasingly suggestive and arousing way.

Saikawa goes to Miss Kobayashi's house for a game session, but is surprised by the presence of an unfamiliar girl named Ilulu, who refuses to join their activities. When Lucoa arrives and senses Ilulu's discomfort, she takes it upon herself to assist the reclusive dragon.

Takiya and Miss Kobayashi are amazed by an elegant code display created by Elma. Miss Kobayashi is pleased to have additional capable support, but Elma becomes upset upon learning that Miss Kobayashi shoulders significantly more work than her.

Elma and Tohru have a tense, hostile relationship whenever they meet in the shopping district, much to Miss Kobayashi's frustration. However, they recall that their initial meeting was quite different, hinting at a more amicable past. The episode revisits their first encounter, which took place long ago during Tohru's solo travels in another world.

Shouta becomes unsettled by Lucoa's unrestrained behavior and questions his role as the dominant partner in their relationship. Determined to assert his authority as a growing mage, he starts investigating her vulnerabilities in an effort to regain control.

A mysterious woman with horns and a somber man in a butler uniform meet in a shadowy alley for a clandestine encounter. She questions why he summoned her, and he requests her powers. Their uneasy alliance sets off a series of sinister events.

Shouta becomes increasingly reclusive, spending time in his room studying a complex grimoire to craft a magical Father's Day gift. When Lucoa offers assistance, he insists on doing it alone, though he struggles to succeed.

Elma voices her frustration over poor working conditions, prompting a realization that their workplace is nearly exploitative. Miss Kobayashi initially doubts the possibility of change, but Elma's determination and the team's collective spirit challenge her assumptions.

Kanna, after a heated argument with Miss Kobayashi, leaves home and impulsively flies across the ocean in search of a place where the sun never sets. She ends up landing in New York City, a vibrant metropolis known for its constant energy and never-ending nightlife.

Miss Kobayashi experiences persistent hip pain and purchases various health products, though she rarely uses them. Tohru grows frustrated and attempts to help by suggesting tail meat, which Miss Kobayashi refuses. Determined, Tohru then sets out to find a remedy that aligns with Miss Kobayashi's ideas of traditional treatment.

A peaceful morning unfolds as the dragon girls go about their usual routine, enjoying a moment of quiet normalcy. Miss Kobayashi, however, begins to feel a lingering unease after hearing a mysterious tale from the Emperor of Demise, though she cannot yet pinpoint its source. With the anticipated summer festival approaching, the tension of her uncertainty grows.
