Synopsis
Massage therapist helps junk-food-loving elf girl lose weight in comedic manga with bonus one-shots.
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, pointy ears, and grew up in the forest—everything about her screams "elf," except for one thing: her bodacious body. It 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 loveable elf girl lose the weight—and keep it off? (Source: Seven Seas Entertainment) Included one-shots: Volume 1: Ganso Kissa Seiren, Rinrin Tanuki
