Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid Episode Rating Graph

A typical morning with typical dragon girls. A priceless slice of daily life without any complaints. However, ever since Miss Kobayashi heard the tale from the Emperor of Demise, something has been slightly weighing on her. Yet it's not clear to her what exactly that is. As that uncertainty builds, the summer festival they've all been waiting for is drawing closer.

Their day off is peaceful, and Miss Kobayashi spends her time relaxing with the others as usual. However, while out shopping, Tohru suddenly stops to think on the street--Miss Kobayashi is human, and what will she do when her lifespan runs out and she dies...? They can't be together forever. They'll have to part someday. She knew that. She was prepared for that. Yet still, Tohru's mind is in turmoil, and the final blow is dealt when the Emperor of Demise--her father--appears before her.

It all started with a single statement from Elma--"I demand improved worker conditions!" The company Miss Kobayashi and the others work at is very close to being exploitative, and Elma finally realizes their situation is wrong and rises up against it. Miss Kobayashi assumes it's impossible to improve their working conditions, but the dragon's energy and spirit were far greater than she imagined...

It's winter and Christmas is coming soon when Tohru is asked to put on a performance for the old folk's home. Tohru and the others decide to put on a play so as to not bother Miss Kobayashi while she's busy, yet without her there to control things, the play the dragons devise takes an unexpected turn... Finally, the play is put on, and while Miss Kobayashi watches their performance with anxiety...

Miss Kobayashi's hips have seriously started hurting. She buys up a bunch of health products to try and improve it, but she hardly uses any of them... Even Tohru loses her patience and tries to get her to eat tail meat, but she sadly refuses. Tohru then begins her search for what Miss Kobayashi considers a "typical remedy."

Kanna watched the elementary schoolers going to school with jealousy, so Miss Kobayashi decides to let Kanna attend elementary school. Miss Kobayashi, Tohru, and Kanna all set out to the shopping district in order to buy Kanna's school supplies, but Miss Kobayashi is overwhelmed by the modern stationery store recently built. On the other hand, both Tohru and Kanna are intrigued by their first sight of stationery stores. After they finally gather all the supplies she needs, it's time for Kanna to join the school!!

Tohru's now capable of handling the housework perfectly, and at Miss Kobayashi's request, she decides to make the best omurice for dinner one night. However, gathering high quality ingredients would put her over budget. Wanting to see Miss Kobayashi smile more than anything, Tohru ends up playing her forbidden card... Meanwhile, as Miss Kobayashi rides the train home, worn out from work, she dreams of the night she first met Tohru.

The end of the year is drawing close as well. When Tohru plays the lottery at the shopping district, she wins a prize--a kotatsu, not the hot springs trip. Once they finally join Miss Kobayashi in the kotatsu, the dragons start lazing around... The kotatsu ruins not only humans, but dragons too. That relaxed, lazy mood is how Miss Kobayashi's family ends up spending their end of the year and the new year. Their peaceful days off pass by uneventfully. Meanwhile, Tohru and Kanna also change into kimono for their first shrine visit of the year--?!

Two suspicious figures appear in a dark alley under the cover of night. An unsettling air hangs over their secret exchange. "What do you need, asking me to come here?" asks the perverted woman with two horns. "Lend me your power," answers the melancholic man in a butler uniform. And so the most sinister and awful tag team begins to take action.

Shouta is troubled over how to approach Lucoa about her daily, uninhibited contact. He should be the master in their relationship, though... He resolves to take back control as the full-fledged mage he's aiming to become. So he begins trying to uncover Lucoa's weaknesses.

Kanna is invited to Saikawa's home. Since Saikawa's family has a maid too, they invite Miss Kobayashi and Tohru to join her. When a genuine maid, Josie, greets them, Miss Kobayashi gets excited. The two hit it off, chatting about maids. To top things off, Lucoa announces she's planning to live in this world too. She claims she was summoned by Shouta, a member of a mage family. Lucoa gets very touchy to try and get along with Shouta, but she goes overboard...

Saikawa visits Miss Kobayashi's home to play. However, there's a girl that's unfamiliar to her (Ilulu)... Even after inviting her to join their games, Ilulu coldly refuses. Then Lucoa happens to stop by and she notices Ilulu's feelings as she tries to avoid them, so she makes an effort to help the dragon out.

The self-proclaimed ultimate maid Tohru storms into a new maid cafe opening up soon with a sense of rivalry. However, when she returns she says, "Somehow I've ended up working there!" As they live out such typical days in their lives, she and Miss Kobayashi learn from the news that someone has destroyed the mountain where they met.

Shouta suddenly begins shutting himself up in his room. He's pouring over a complicated grimoire in order to create a magic item as a gift for Father's Day. Lucoa offers to help him since the task is so difficult, but he refuses and declares he must accomplish it by himself. However, he continues to fail to produce it...

Kobayashi and Tohru challenge each other to a cook-off to decide who will make a lunchbox for Kanna's field trip, with Tohru ultimately getting disqualified for using an otherworldly fruit for dessert. Later that night, Tohru's rival from an opposing faction, Elma, comes to try and force Tohru to return home, but Tohru puts an abrupt end to their battle. Unable to return to her world, Elma begins working under Kobayashi at her company, prompting some jealousy from Tohru.

Takiya and Miss Kobayashi are impressed by a beautiful array of code. Surprisingly, the one who wrote it was Elma. Miss Kobayashi is overjoyed that finally have more fully capable manpower. Then Elma hears that Miss Kobayashi is considered a "pillar" of the company who handles much more work than her, which causes her to suddenly get mad.
