What it is about

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 lovable elf girl lose the weight–and keep it off? (Source: Seven Seas Entertainment) Included one-shots: Volume 1: Ring Ring Tanuki (りんりんたぬき) Note: On May 2021, it was announced that the manga will be changing editorials and it will stop being published on Comic Gum, magazine published by the editorial Wani Books. Later, on August 2021, it was announced that Akita Shoten acquired the license of the manga and started publishing it since then.
