Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon - Ch. 164 - Tohru and Maid Outfits

[jackjack9]

Tohru's maid outfit is the best, though I wouldn't mind seeing her in different outfits on special occasions.

 

[kaminomikan]

no no kobayashi, let her strip, and lower the camera angle.

 

[SkyVentus]

I agree with the other guy, a scale pattern in the skirt or maybe the gloves would add a nice, unique and new detail to her maid outfit outside of "herself"

 

[LTalon]

And now Kanna must take that knowledge with her to the grave.

 

[isoycrazy]

You know, I totally believe Tohru would think her dress would sound like Kobayashi.

 

[grrman]

Tohru boba is always appreciated.

Wait a minute, I thought her maid "outfit" is magic/part of her dragon scales or something?

If not, then I guess they got the outfit created for real.

 

[radstylix]

May be, but that would require much more effort for the author to draw her everytime, so no )

A pattern would suffice, but yes, that's still slightly additional work.

I was really conflicted when Tohru’s outfit started talking and thought I had to deal with the idea that from now on Tohru is wearing a Sentient being. and that the dress itself is now a new character.
thank goodness for the twist I don’t have to add that to this list of …..uncomfortable questions in this series.

also is it weird that Tohru’s tail just seemingly sticks out of her butt?

She created the outfit using magic and her scales, but remember she can shed multiple times easily.

Never seen Kill la Kill before?

Do remember one key aspect of the Shinto religion is everything from small rocks to great mountains and the sky has spirits attached to them (and that is one basis for Pokemon). Even Western Lit has some things become alive out of love, like the Velveteen Rabbit. So, believing and loving her dress as much as Tohru does could have legitimately imbued it with awareness and spiritual abilities.

 

[Vaudevillian]

Couldn't change her costume now, think of all the merchandise!

Though Kobayashi-san's Dragon Wife does have potential.

Later, ok?

 

[FlowerSlaughter]

Today we learn something new about Tohru and the way she thinks about things.

It seems lika Elma has become her punching bag recently, she doesn't seem to hate it tho.

 

[Carcer]

Thank you for the boob buffet this chapter, Tohru. 🙏

 

[w4nzxtxgrgn]

Don't strip

In my head, I read this in the style of No Doubt's "Don't Speak"

Good point! Nice analogy and reference to Shinto fulclour. I had forgotten about that aspect since it’s manly used for toys and house hold object but I guess clothing also falls under that category doesn’t it.
Fair enough... but I’m still not sure I want Tohru’s outfit to be canonically sentient.

Oh, I don't think it is, but there are more things in Heaven and Earth, than dreamt of in Tohru's philosophy. She might not have known she could make the dress so imbued, but accepted it with delight. It is a fiction from Kobayashi, but one within the possibilities of this universe.

Thanks for the chapter
