r/DragonMaid

Hi! I just started watching the show because I really needed a slice of life anime and god it’s so cute
I love the small transitions in between and everything
But I have a stupid question 🤣
So I know Kobayashi is kanna’s gaurdian in this world, but I have to know… did they have to buy fake IDs and passports? Cause you can’t just adopt a kid and espically if she went to school they gotta ask for documentation. I know it’s silly but I always wondered since they come from another world. Also, do her parents not worry about her living there with a stranger?
Sorry for the dumb questions and thanks in advance lol. Yes I’m addicted 🫶🏻

Just as a heads up the physical English release of Volume 12 of the Kobayashi Dragon Maid Manga (as well as potentially the Spanish version) features censorship beyond what is found in the Magazine version of the Japanese source material.

Seven Seas has been caught censoring works for their English releases before, but as this issue appears to affect multiple languages of releases the origin of censorship is at this time unclear.

The censorship relative to the Japanese manga release includes several instances of removing nipples, as well as an incredibly bizarre decision to add very obvious censorship to the crotch of Elma in the bath scene, which for the record doesn't actually show anything in the Japanese version either.

It is unclear at this time whether all foreign releases are censored, or just the English and potentially Spanish versions, but the censorship likely applies to volumes beyond volume 12, and I will try to get a full list of affected volumes once available.
