Shows Like Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid

If you’re looking for a show that’s on par with Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid, these are the ones to watch.

In the Summer 2021 anime season, Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid fans waited over four years for a sequel, and the wait was well worth it in the end.

While the manga is fantastic, Dragon Maid fans have been clamoring for a television adaptation for some time now.

On Crunchyroll, fans can catch up on Mini Dragon and Valentine’s Day, but they’ll want to find more shows with the same feel as Dragon Maid. Fortunately, many creative studios have produced anime that successfully combines elements of fantasy and realism.

1. I’ve Been Killing Slimes For 300 Years And Maxed Out My Level

I've Been Killing Slimes For 300 Years And Maxed Out My Level

Slime 300, which came out in Spring 2021 to mixed reviews, follows Azuza’s exploits after she dies of exhaustion and is isekai’d to another world. In spite of her best efforts, she ends up becoming one of the most powerful beings in the universe after grinding for 300 years to gain experience against low-level slimes.

To fans of Dragon Maid, Azuza’s growing family of supernatural women, including dragons and demons, will feel very familiar, as did Kobayashi in Dragon Maid.

2. Konohana Kitan

Konohana Kitan will appeal to fans of Tohru, who struggled to understand and adjust to human society. There are many species of animals and plants that live on Yuzu’s world, and human beings are just one of them. Her first job is at a traditional hot spring, and she quickly learns that it’s much more difficult than she expected.

With the help of her friends, Yuzu goes from being a complete novice to being an expert attendant.

 3. Hakumei And Mikochi

Hakumei And Mikochi

Slice-of-life shows come in all shapes and sizes, but few feature characters as diminutive as Hakumei and Mikochi. The show centers on the titular characters, who share a tree house and go about their daily lives as if they were in a fairy tale.

It’s reminiscent of learning about dragon society from Tohru and the gang when you see how the world works for such tiny inhabitants and how foreign daily life can look like for an entirely different group.

4. Gabriel DropOut

It’s possible that Tohru can’t cut it in her original world, but Gabriel, who is a literal angel, cannot. She tries to come to Earth to learn about humans so that she can become a full-fledged angel, but instead she becomes a videogame-obsessed hikikomori. Gabriel DropOut tells her story.

The show will likely appeal to those who liked the romance between Fafnir and Makoto in Dragon Maid.

5. Cheat Pharmacist’s Slow Life: Making A Drugstore In Another World

Cheat Pharmacist's Slow Life - Making A Drugstore In Another World

If you enjoyed Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid S, you’ll want to check out this new anime, which will be airing during the Summer of 2o21.

6. If It’s For My Daughter, I’d Even Defeat A Demon Lord

Fans of Kobayashi’s transformation into a mother figure with Kanna in Dragon Maid will appreciate the similar dynamic in what is known as UchiMusume among the fans. Taking care of Latina, a young devil girl who he rescues from the streets and eventually adopts, means that Dale has to balance his career as an adventurer with taking care of Latina.

It does discuss prejudice against demons and Latina’s attempt to feel accepted in a human world, so bring some tissues with you to the show.
