Otaku Elf

For over four centuries, Tokyo’s Takamimi Shrine has honored its resident deity, Elda—an immortal elf with magic who was summoned from another world during the Edo period. Since then, the family responsible for bringing her here has served her for fifteen generations, and when Koito Koganei turns sixteen, that duty becomes hers.

As Elda’s new shrine maiden, Koito tries to keep up with school while tending to a goddess who’s happiest indoors: a devoted shut-in with a fondness for video games, toy collecting, and constant snacking. Hoping to nudge Elda beyond her reclusive routine, Koito splits her days between supporting those hobbies and coaxing her into engaging with the people around her, gradually uncovering more about the neighborhood’s past—and why Elda is so cherished and thoroughly indulged by the locals.
