Plus-Sized Elf Synopsis
Naoe-kun, a massage therapist, is about to return home when he comes across a rather strange patient. This lovely lady has emerald eyes, pointy ears and grew up in the woods – everything about her screams “elf” except one thing: her chunky body. Turns out she left her world, but loves junk food in this one, and now her obsession has caught up with her. Can Naoe-kun help this adorable elf lose weight?
A “second season” of this manga with the title Plus-Sized Elf: Second Helping (Shin Plus-Sized Elf) began publishing in November 2021 on LINE Manga. A Akita Shoten will publish its third volume on January 26, 2024.
