Otaku Elf Series

A lighthearted manga series about a quirky elf from another world who’s fascinated by video games–and the local girls who have to deal with her. Inspired an anime!

Koganei Koito works as the teenage shrine maiden at the Takamimi Shrine, catering to the whims of its resident: a centuries-old elf who loves video games as much as she hates going outside! Line up your offerings for the otaku elf—some energy drinks, chips and video games will do nicely—and watch her new friends scramble to keep up!

A HAGGLIN’ SUSHI-HANKERIN’ OTAKU?!

The miko Koganei drags her elf, Elda, out to the Tokyo fish market of Toyosu! Delicious sushi awaits, but they’ll have to get up early and haggle for it! Riddling games, tales of shrinking shoes, and sibling squabbles await any elf brave enough to look up her from her model kits and (if she dares!) leave the house!

CAMPING & CAFES

At the historic Takamimi Shrine, Elda’s quiet and comfortable days continue. Along with her miko Koganei, they allow pursuits like intricate puzzles, magic tricks, and art to fill their days–along with some online shopping on the down-low, of course! From elf camping trips to elf exchanges, Elda’s easy life endures.

TODDLER ANARCHY!

When a baby suddenly appears at the shrine, Elda, resident deity and homebody, and her miko, Koito, are entirely out of their depth! Left to watch over their baby niece in their sister’s absence, Koito and sister Koyuzu sure do have their hands full with the active toddler. Just when they think the crazy spectacle is over, Elda has somehow managed to trigger a town-wide dance fad, gotten worked up over improperly minted coins, and even gotten a haircut. What will their self-indulgent deity get up to next?!

ON YOUR MARK…READY, SET, BOW!

With the Yumimimi Festival quickly approaching, preparations have the shrine and town in a flurry. One particular shut-in elf and her quick-to-mature miko are hoping to use some old-fashioned superstitions in their favor. From divination and charms for luck to family crests and duty, the pair are deep into some shrine history, and with the festival overflowing, who could predict what they’d get up to!

WITH A LITTLE ELF FROM MY FRIENDS

When a shrine’s deity is a total shut-in who plays games all day and her miko is a girl too mature for her age, it’s shocking how many hijinks can still ensue. Their most recent visitors at the shrine include Haila-sama of the Uramimi Shrine and her miko, Isuzu, who happens to be a famous influencer! But as their uneventful days go by, it’s the ordinary things they remember: helping with homework, leaking roofs, and reminiscing on bygone days.

WARM MEMORIES AND ICY TREATS!

Elda is an elf who was summoned five hundred years ago by Tokugawa Ieyasu, but now she’s a serious shut-in. To entertain herself, Elda delights in mail-ordered confectionaries from the web, indulges in traditional games, and receives a visit from an elegant elf named Uramimi-sama. Poor Miko Koito must find a way to rein in her indulgent deity!
