Naoe-kun, a massage therapist, is about to go home for the day when he is saddled with a rather strange patient. This lovely woman has emerald eyes, pointy ears, and grew up in the woods – everything about her screams “elf,” except for one thing: her toned body. It turns out she left her world behind but fell in love with the snacks of this world, and now her obsession has caught up with her. Can Naoe-kun help this lovely elven girl lose weight and keep it off?
The company is also releasing a new edition of the manga with a new cover.
