Shows that feel likeMiss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (2017–2021)

Kobayashi lives alone in an apartment, until one day, Tohru appeared and they ended up living together. Tohru looks down on humans as inferior and foolish, but having been saved by Kobayashi-san, she does everything she can to repay the debt and help her with various things, although not everything goes according to plan. A mythical everyday life comedy about a hard working office lady living with a dragon girl.

If you loved Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, the closest series we have are Fairy Tail (2009), xxxHOLiC (2006) and KONOSUBA - God's blessing on this wonderful world! (2016). All three share Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid's cerebral and dreamlike feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Ranma1/2 (2024).
