Dragon Goes House-Hunting First Impressions – A Real Estate Anime with a Real Knack for Humor

Spring 2021 has no lack of worthy anime to choose from, but if you’re a comedy fan (particularly one with a love for nostalgic video games), then you have to make room on your watchlist for Dragon, Ie wo Kau. (Dragon Goes House-Hunting). It’s about a young dragon named Letty whose family kicks him out of the den for being so cowardly and useless, leaving him to fend for himself in a JRPG-style world where most people would sooner kill him for epic loot drops than help him find a place to stay.

Luckily, he stumbles upon the master real estate agent/architect/demon lord Dearia, who kindly takes Letty under his wing and does everything in his considerable power to set the dragon up with a perfect home to call his own. Their journey takes them through a series of hilarious house tours and misadventures that let us see classic video game/tabletop RPG tropes through the eyes of the monsters who are just trying to live a quiet life without pesky heroes bothering them. Let’s take a closer look at Dragon Goes House-Hunting!
