Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: Fafnir the Recluse, Vol. 1

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid: Fafnir the Recluse #1

by Nobuyoshizamurai (Illustrator), coolkyousinnjya (Original Creator)

The otaku dragon from the original hit manga series (which inspired the anime and multiple spin-offs) stars in a manga of his own!

Fafnir is a dark, brooding curse dragon from the same world as Tohru, Kanna, and their friends. He’s also an otaku who’s as obsessed with games, merch, and doujinshi as he is with gold, jewels, and destroying all humans. This latest spin-off from the highly popular Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid offers a peek into the timeless bromance of Fafnir and Takiya, two otaku sharing an apartment. The life of a recluse is busier than you might expect!

So cute and such good fun, the characters are great and I really need to go back and watch the anime again. Only loses one star for the creepy dragon - not Fafnir, the blond one - wouldn’t think in a story about a reclusive goth curse dragon the real creep is a tall irritating blond.

I love these two. Fafnir is a curse dragon who lives with Takiya and they both enjoy being Otaku. Fafnir is addicted to games as long as he can get treasure of any kind. Takiya is a working man during the day but an avid Otaku at night so they fit well together. I love seeing Tohru and miss Kobayashi too. I can't wait for more of their story.

I'm so excited for this spin-off! This was a super fun first volume, and I'm looking forward to more Fafnir!! If you love Kobayashi, this is a must read.

Super cute slice of life. Fafnir is super underrated and I loved seeing more on takiya and fafnirs relationship with eachother. It’s just really wholesome and funny :)
