Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid

Possible false alarm; the tweet announcing it has been removed.
 
Iruru's going to be interesting because they excised her from several arcs in the anime that helped demonstrate her distrust of humans over time before she got her Heel-Face Turn. So it's going to be much more abbreviated, kinda.
 
Note that's just the manga cover, which apparently recently covered Kanna's parents. The actual announcement is at the bottom.
 
I know I'm setting myself up for disappointment, but I'll be genuinely sad if Tohru and Kobayashi aren't officially an item at some point in season 2. Blease KyoAni don't yuribait me again, let our girls be together!

I like the idea that Kobayashi might legitimately be asexual, and that rep would be cool, but like... some mutual romance. Please.

Well, the dub was a lot worse for that then KyoAni's original stuff...
 
Didn't they take some MAJOR liberties with the source material and characterization? Or was that just bullshit? I've only seen it subbed so I got no clue on the dub status
Yes, they did as a matter of fact. For example... the scene in the first episode where they're talking about dislikes/likes, and Tohru declares that she loves Kobayashi?

Kobayashi in the dub outright states that she is not into women nor dragons. And that is not the last time either.

I don't think they'll ever come out and say it (Japan is not very accepting of adult lesbian relationships), but they will likely continue to act more and more couple-like.

I mean, they've already all-but-adopted Kanna as their daughter.

Seems like the dubbers really are pushing their own views onto the show...

IIRC they had a major thing against Lucoa too?
 
The manga makes it clear Kobayashi is way too awkward about interpersonal relationships to accept out loud being a couple with Tohru, but for most intents and purposes they are together.

Kanna moved herself out of the daughterzone though.
