Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid plot recap, spoiler-light
The story in Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid begins when an office worker and programmer named Kobayashi prepares for her workday and encounters a massive dragon right outside her door. The creature abruptly shifts into a humanoid girl wearing a maid outfit and identifies herself as Tohru. It turns out that the previous night, during a drunken excursion into the mountains, Kobayashi had met the dragon, who claimed to originate from another world.
Grateful because Kobayashi removed a holy sword from her back, Tohru offers her service. Since Tohru lacks a place to stay, Kobayashi invites her home as a personal maid, and Tohru promptly falls in love with her. Tohru proves to be an unorthodox housekeeper whose antics bring extra trouble into Kobayashi's predictable routine.
Furthermore, Tohru's presence acts as a beacon, drawing other divine and mythical beings toward Kobayashi's residence. Among them is Kanna, a young dragon who initially demands that Tohru return to their original realm. Finding herself exiled with nowhere else to go, Kanna is also taken in by Kobayashi, who steps up to become her official guardian.
