Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon - Vol. 19 Ch. 173 - Kobayashi and Grave Visit

[DMBLaan99]

So I still think Kobyashi's a decadent of Obiashi from those 2 bonus chapters . But it looks like it goes further back than I thought originally, since Kobyashi's Grandma doesn't seem to be the woman that stayed behind and married Obiashi.

damn, this chapter came in heavy with the feels

Chapter made me think a lot about my family who have passed away. Some I don't have many memories of, but it is still nice to see their faces, hear their voices, remember their smells, their warmth and their laugh.

That's Yutarama and she's been stalking Kobayashi ever since the Loki battle. You can see her in many chapters since then. I think this is the first time they've talked actually.

I vividly remember she acts as a maid in a maid cafe where kobayashi is talking with someone

You are correct.

Kobayashi and Tohru chapters hit different. Glad to see more relationship development between them

What a gorgeous chapter. I’d say this is probably the best one we’ve had in a while, and that’s coming after a stream of quality chapters. Tohru vs. Rindo was the highlight of the less-than-stellar Tournament Arc, making this chapter a satisfactory conclusion to his grief. I’m hoping Rindo appears more. The final page is lovely.

Also, it seems Kobayashi’s getting sick of Yutarama, too. Seriously, all this foreshadowing for what? It had better leave a lasting impact.

What I curious about Yutarama is what she meant by first. It feels a little late in the series to try and throw in a new love rival for Tohru. It makes me wonder if Cool is intentionally being vague about her motives and what she meant by first. Her first kill in the human world. Or maybe first slave. It'll be interesting to see how things play out.

Ok, I think I understand. The reason no one seemed to notice her (the 2nd Seat in the Choas Faction) was because she was using a form of Preception Blocking that made her look like a different person (in world) each time we the reader saw her. We know Kobyashi has scene through PB in the past. So to her she DID notice and just never said anything. Though, it seems implied, by Rindo's reaction, that even other magical beings might not have noticed her at all. Makes me wonder if the objectively more observant Fafnir, Lucoa, and/or Petla noticed her?

Lucoa asks her what she's doing in the human world a few chapters back

 

[dowiet]

ah truly an emotional chapter.

 

[Kyuketsuki]

Bittersweet like a fragrant black coffee

Kobayagranny is just as i depicted FMC in my mind when she gets older and Tohru has to watch her wither

 

[alfirizkyr]

I wasn't ready for Kobayashi to outright call out the stalker. I thought she wasn't aware of her, but I guess being so close to near-death moments around supernatural creatures would make you more aware of how the air felt like around them.

And Jesus, what a well-done chapter on grief.

 

[Yukisuna]

That's sweet. Grandma didn't want to be alone after all, and Kobayashi herself wonders if she'll be able to lie to Tohru the same way at the very end.
