The official Twitter account of Hobby Japan’s Comic Fire manga website revealed on Thursday that Suzuki Makishima’s Welcome to Japan, Miss Elf! (Nihon e Yōkoso Elf-san.) light novel is inspiring an anime adaptation. The announcement did not reveal the format of the anime.
J-Novel Club is releasing both the novel and manga adaptation in English, and describes the story:
Kazuhiro Kitase’s only hobby is sleeping. From an early age, he entered a magical world in his dreams and participated in thrilling adventures. One day, he goes on an adventure with an elf girl he befriended in his dream world, but it suddenly stops when they are both burned by the dragon’s breath! When he woke up from his dream, he noticed a familiar figure sleeping next to him… the elf girl from his dream?! Join Kazuhiro on his new adventure through Japan with Ms. Elf!
