Edomae Elf

For more than 400 years, Elda has lived at Tokyo’s Takamimi Shrine as the local deity cherished by its neighborhood. In truth, she is an immortal elf summoned from another world during the Edo period, and centuries of life have turned her into a shut-in obsessed with video games, snacks, and modern collectibles.

When 16-year-old Koito Koganei becomes the shrine maiden responsible for her, school life must somehow fit around shrine duties and Elda’s endless requests. Koito repeatedly tries to pull the reclusive elf into the world beyond her room, only to discover along the way how deeply Elda is woven into the area’s history and why generations of locals continue to spoil their peculiar goddess.
