REVIEW | "Kanna's Daily Life" - Vol. 9 | B3 - Boston Bastard Brigade
One of the things I like most about Kanna’s Daily Life is the way the series showcases the world of Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid through a child’s eyes. There’s still that level of silliness to be expected, but there’s a wholesomeness that you don’t experience when the series focuses on Tohru. Even the most mundane things are presented with a ray of joy and happiness, all thanks to the smol dragon. This is very apparent in the ninth volume of Kanna’s Daily Life.
Kanna seeks a treasure box for her father’s letters, while she and Saikawa experience a science museum on a class field trip. Ilulu aids Kanna in a quest to find a missing girl’s parents, while an early morning winter walk to school lets her see the beauty a cold day brings. Meanwhile, Kanna has fun with one of Tohru’s sentient molts, taking full advantage of the fun that happens with a not-so-responsible adult. But things turn for the interesting when an elf girl from their world appears in their neighborhood.
The object of Kanna’s Daily Life is to offer a sigh of relief after a long day. Kanna is seen more as the happy-go-lucky one of the dragons, a far cry from her prank-pulling troublemaker days. Although she’s still a big ball of energy, her positivity and sweetness is very contagious. A great example of this can be found in a chapter involving a couple looking at a nearby house. While Kanna acts all silly and playful, one of the neighbors finds herself seeing what the future would hold if she were to become a parent. It’s an endearing moment, one that’s capped off with an announcement that catches her husband off-guard.
