Tokoro Toshikatsu (Why the Hell Are You Here, Teacher!?, Soul Link, Hunter X Hunter: G I Final) directs the anime at studio Elias. The show will star Itou Ayasa as Elfuda, Ishii Takahide as Tomoatsu Naoe, Hasegawa Rena as Kuroeda, and Fukuhara Ayaka as Oga.
The anime is based on Synecdoche’s manga, first published on Wani Book’s Comic Gum website in December 2016. In November 2021, Akita Shoten published the manga’s eighth tankoubon volume, and in June 2022, the company began re-releasing the first seven volumes of the original manga.
Naoe-kun, a massage therapist, is about to head home for the day when he’s saddled with a rather strange patient. This lovely lady has emerald eyes and pointy ears and grew up in the forest–everything about her screams “elf,” except for one thing: her bodacious body. 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 loveable elf girl lose weight–and keep it off?
