The film is directed by Tatsuya Ishihara, with the original story by Coolkyousinnjya. It has a runtime of 105 minutes. Its official synospsis hints toward brewing tension for the franchise: “The film’s official synopsis details the escalating conflict: “Miss Kobayashi, Tohru, Kanna, and Iruru’s peaceful lives are shattered when Kanna’s father, Kamun Kamui, leader of the Chaos Forces, arrives and forces her to return to the Dragon World to fix a past mistake.

With a war brewing between Chaos and Harmony, Kanna must find a way to unite the two worlds, but is torn between her loyalty to her friends and her father’s demands. Miss Kobayashi, however, refuses to let her go and tries to mend Kanna and Kamui’s broken bond. As dragons clash, Iruru uncovers a hidden force manipulating the war. Can they stop the war before it consumes both worlds?”

What is Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid franchise?

The Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid franchise centers on Miss Kobayashi, an average office worker whose mundane life changes dramatically after she saves a female dragon named Tohru. Tohru, capable of transforming into an adorable human girl (complete with horns and a tail), moves in to repay her debt of gratitude. Her persistent and affectionate presence quickly turns Miss Kobayashi’s normal life upside down.

Fans can catch up on both seasons of Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, currently available for streaming on Crunchyroll.
