Seven Seas Entertainment has announced that it has acquired the license for the Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid: Fafnir the Recluse manga series by coolkyousinnjya and Nobuyoshizamurai. The otaku dragon from the original hit manga series (which inspired the anime and multiple spin-offs) stars in a manga of his own.
Fafnir is a dark, brooding curse dragon from the same world as Tohru, Kanna, and their friends. He’s also an otaku who’s as obsessed with games, merch, and doujinshi as he is with gold, jewels, and destroying all humans. This latest spin-off from the popular Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid series follows Fafnir’s daily life in a shared apartment with Kobayashi’s otaku coworker Takiya, where Fafnir tries to get along with humans and dragons—or just avoid them.
Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid: Fafnir the Recluse Volume 1 will be released for the first time in North America in January 2023 for $13.99 USA / $17.99 CAN, available in print and on digital platforms in single volume editions.

Yes! I’ve been waiting for a series that just focuses on Fafnir! He’s my favorite grumpy otaku character and is totally deserving of his own series!
