A colorful, character-driven fantasy adventure that balances slice-of-life warmth with escalating conflict, grounded in found-family bonds and the tension between two worlds.

Miss Kobayashi, Tohru, Ilulu, and Kanna’s peaceful lives are shaken when Kanna’s father, Kimun Kamui, forces her to return to the Dragon World.
