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?

The company is also releasing new editions of the manga with new covers.

Synecdoche has also launched Plus-Sized Elf: Second Helping (Shin Plus-Sized Elf) in LINE Manga in November 2021 as the “second season” of the earlier Plus-Sized Elf manga. Akita Shoten will publish the manga’s fourth compiled book volume on August 20. Seven Seas is also releasing the manga in English.
