The streaming for Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid wrapped up a while ago with two seasons, but that looks like it isn’t the end of that journey. Back in September 2024, a feature film titled Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid: A Lonely Dragon Wants to be Loved was announced with plans for a 2025 theatrical release. The feature film has Tatsuya Ishihara directing it with the main cast members returning.
With the film set to arrive with a June 27th, 2025, premiere date, the latest update is a new round of character visuals for the eight main characters. Click ’em for a larger version!
The previously announced cast includes:
- Yūki Takada as Elma
- Minami Takahashi as Lucoa
- Daisuke Ono as Fafnir
- Yūichi Nakamura as Makoto Takiya
- Emiri Katō as Riko Saikawa
- Kaori Ishihara as Shōta Magatsuchi

The film features the opening theme song “Namida no Parade” as performed by fhana. The ending theme song “Bokutachi no Hibi” is performed by Sachiko Kobayashi, while the insert song is “Negaigoto” performed by kotringo.
The work comes from Coolkyoushinja with fifteen volumes to its name so far. The series was directed by Yasuhiro Takemoto based on the series composition from Yuka Yamada and character designs by Miku Kadowaki.
The Japanese cast includes Mutsumi Tamura as Kobayashi, Yūki Kuwahara as Tohru, Maria Naganawa as Kanna, Yūki Takada as Eruma, Minami Takahashi as Rukoa, Emiri Katou as Riko Saikawa, Yuuko Gotou as Georgie Saikawa, and Kaori Ishihara as Magatsuchi Shouta.
Seven Seas picked up the rights to the series back in December 2015.
Plot concept: 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!
