The Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid: A lonely dragon wants to be loved anime film is currently lighting up theaters in Japan. Crunchyroll previously announced plans to bring the feature to theaters in North America, and while we wait to check it out ourselves a new visual has debuted.
Check out the delightful art showing Kanna leaping onto Kobayashi’s shoulders below.
The movie will reach North American theaters at some point, though we’re still waiting on the date. Crunchyroll will be offering it on the North American big screen in the original Japanese language with subtitles.
Here are new voice actors for the movie:
- Fumihiko Tachiki (Zaraki Kenpachi in Bleach) plays Kimun Kamui
- Nobunaga Shimazaki (Mahito in Jujutsu Kaisen) plays Azad
- Shiori Sugiura (Ririka Kenzaki in Liz and the Blue Bird) plays Ilulu
Tomomi Mineuchi previously played Ilulu, but has since stopped voice acting.
The following actors are reprising their roles: Mutsumi Tamura plays Kobayashi, Yuki Kuwahara plays Tohru, Maria Naganawa plays Kanna, Yuki Takada plays Elma, Minami Takahashi plays Lucoa, Daisuke Ono plays Fafnir, Yuichi Nakamura plays Makoto Takiya, Emiri Kato plays Riko Saikawa, and Kaori Ishihara plays Shōta Magatsuchi.
Seven Seas Entertainment publishes the original Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid manga, as well as its spinoff series Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid: Elma’s Office Lady Diary, Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid: Fafnir the Recluse, and Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid: Kanna’s Daily Life. The publisher gave this description for the original manga series:
Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid Plot
Miss Kobayashi is your average office worker who lives a boring life, alone in her small apartment–until she saves the life of a female dragon in distress. The dragon, named Tohru, has the ability to magically transform into an adorable human girl (albeit with horns and a long tail!), who will do anything to pay off her debt of gratitude, whether Miss Kobayashi likes it or not. With a very persistent and amorous dragon as a roommate, nothing comes easy, and Miss Kobayashi’s normal life is about to go off the deep end!
