Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid Anime Is Returning for New Movie

As a dedicated fan who has followed Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid since its humble beginnings in the pages of Monthly Action magazine back in 2013, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the upcoming movie! The anime has been a staple in my life and has brought countless hours of laughter, joy, and even some tears.


Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid initially made its debut on television screens a few years ago, but now, the beloved anime series is making a comeback with a fresh movie. The manga, created by Coolkyousinnjya, was first published in Futabasha’s Monthly Action magazine in 2013 (and later Manga Action magazine this year), and it has been a massive success since then. Over the years, the series has produced several spin-offs and ran two complete seasons of a TV anime that concluded in 2021. Now, after a long hiatus, Kyoto Animation is reviving the franchise once again.

Kyoto Animation has revealed some exciting updates about their upcoming projects, including the news that “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid” is set to return as a new movie in 2025. The title of this film will be “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid: A Lonely Dragon Wants to be Loved“. Intriguingly, it looks like Kanna will be at the center of the action for this installment. Catch a glimpse of its first teaser in the video above and poster below.

What Is Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid?

As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to share that “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid: A Lonely Dragon Seeks Affection” will see Tatsuya Ishihara returning for the directorial role in its upcoming feature film! The beloved cast is reprising their roles, with Mutsumi Tamura as Kobayashi, Yuki Kuwahara as Tohru, and Maria Naganawa as Kanna. Expected to hit Japanese screens next year, international release plans are yet to be announced. Now’s the ideal moment to immerse yourself in the first two seasons of the enchanting TV anime series!

The anime Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid revolves around the protagonist, Kobayashi, who is a typical office worker. Her mundane existence takes an unexpected turn when she encounters a gigantic dragon that transforms into a maid named Tohru. Tohru, whom Kobayashi had rescued, now lives with her and provides services. This unusual cohabitation leads to a humorous narrative filled with various dragons and mystical beings gradually becoming part of Kobayashi’s life.

Why Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Main Anime’s Return Is Important

Fans have eagerly anticipated more from the anime series “Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid” produced by Kyoto Animation for quite some time. However, the studio has faced challenging times over the past few years, including a devastating arson attack in 2018 that claimed the lives of 30 individuals and left the studio in a state of mourning and recovery. Now, five years later, as the studio honors those lost, it appears they are ready to embark on new projects as a tribute to their memories.

The fact that Kyoto Animation is getting back to work on significant series signifies a major step forward for the studio as they move past their tragedy. On the positive note, this means that the much-anticipated return of the anime adaptation of Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid is just around the corner. If it performs well in Japan, there’s a good chance that it might be released internationally, considering the success of similar productions in recent times.
