I like this volume a lot and I hope this method of storytelling continues in Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid.Īlso! Finally, some yuri action! Even if it’s only by the purest forms of such. Heck, we even touch on how people can feel alone even while together, like when Kobayashi is left out of the conversation without anyone thinking much of it. It carries a similar weight to the last volume but this one does anything the mangaka had attempted thus far better than before.

In lieu of that, this volume was shockingly deep and progressive and I actually enjoyed it much more than I had anticipated I would. This volume is all about human relationships, building them, maintaining or sustaining them, being closer or growing apart, and coming to terms with your feelings once a space is suddenly no longer occupied. But just as much I appreciate the development between Tohru and Kobayashi (but Lucoa and Shouta as well and even Ilulu). I like the pace in which it moves along in this volume as well, and the further backstory between Elma and Tohru. It feels less like a 4koma made by a doujin mangaka and more like a full fledged mainstream magazine manga. In this volume, I feel like we’ve gained a perfect balance of slapstick humor and heartfelt moments with character progression (and lewd moments).

Buy a discounted Paperback of Miss Kobayashis Dragon. Before I forget, nice little plug of coolkyousinnjya’s other series, Peach Boy, that he had on the cover of a manga someone was reading. Booktopia has Miss Kobayashis Dragon Maid, Volume 1, Miss Kobayashis Dragon Maid by Coolkyousinnjya.
