Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid began as a manga by Coolkyousinnjya before the Kyoto Animation series premiered in 2017, following office worker Kobayashi and dragon Tohru who becomes her maid. Clips from the show circulate in anime soundboards alongside other short fandom staples like Tuturu and the exaggerated anime ahh reaction, often detached from their original scenes. The mix of slice of life comedy and fantasy keeps the audio recognisable to fans, while its short length makes it easy to reuse as a meme reaction years after broadcast.
