Otaku Elf

Welcome to the whimsical world of Koito Koganei, a young shrine maiden tasked with an unusual duty: attending to Elda, an ancient elf who happens to be a complete recluse and passionate otaku. Far from the ethereal, nature-loving elves of legend, Elda spends her days holed up in the shrine, surrounded by her manga, games, and figures, with little interest in the outside world. Koito’s daily life becomes a charming, often hilarious, balancing act between her priestly duties and her efforts to coax Elda into engaging with modern society, or at least out of her room. This delightful series explores the endearing clash of tradition and contemporary otaku culture, all through the lens of an unlikely, intergenerational friendship blossoming within the serene confines of a Japanese shrine.
