An official website opened for a television anime adaptation of Synecdoche's Elf-san wa Yaserarenai. (Plus-Sized Elf) manga on Monday, revealing the main cast and a teaser visual (pictured). The anime is set for a 2024 premiere.

Voice actress Ayasa Itou (Teppen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) is starring as Erufuda.

Synecdoche drew the comedy fantasy manga in Web Comic Gum from December 2016 to May 2021. Akita Shoten shipped the eighth and final volume in November 2021.

A sequel manga titled Shin Elf-san wa Yaserarenai. (Plus-Sized Elf: Second Helping!) began in Dokodemo Young Champion magazine in November 2021. The second volume was released last February, with the third volume is scheduled for a January 18 release.

Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga and its sequel in English in November 2017 and March 2023, respectively. The eighth and final volume of the original manga was released in December 2022. The sequel manga's first volume went on sale in September 2023, with the second volume scheduled for a February 20 release.

Synopsis
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?

You mean fat-sized elf.

And while we at it anyway, in which galaxy does the "Yaserarenai" word translate as plus/fat-sized ...

That is a revealing picture! I don't even need to read the article. - It reveals to me that I have to give this anime a wide berth.

As a manga reader, I know that this is a fairly harmless piece of work even by Western standards. But the topic will clearly give us another hot threads on Twitter, for sure.

I know outside of anime yes, but in anime, Ayasa has never work outside of Bushiroad before. I know she worked in KR last year and solo work as well, so sooner than later, she will get moving on from that company and work on her own.

@28012001 I'm not sure what you mean, she and Aimi have been doing shows outside of Bushiroad and Bandori for a few years now. Aimi even managed to appear in the borderline hentai harem.

@Tropisch The manga has a fair bit of nudity so if it's 1:1, it'll probably have a decent amount

So, it's an ecchi, which everyone has noticed, and it's also a haremnick. An ecchi-haremnick about girls from another world who, for some reason, have come to the human world, gained weight and are trying to lose weight.

It will be silly and hot at the same time, the anime will go to all lovers of big boobs and lovers of good food.

@RobertBobert I know Aimi did it for more than a decade, I never thought Ayasa even played a major character like the former, until last year.

@TheBlockernator I checked again, manga resources consider this to be Borderline hentai, so maybe it's going to continue the trend of gushing over MG and magical slave this year.

@28012001 She had a protagonist in the all-female sports show "Mou Ippon!" last year. And given that the show wasn't marketed as a waifu bait or CGDCT, I think it could easily be considered a "free role". But wait and see. It took Inori Minase 3 to 5 years to finally move beyond CGDCT in her time.

@RobertBobert Honestly, i never really considered this borderline hentai. Most of the nudity is from when they go to hot springs and bathhouses. (Though to be fair, they show everything but the genitalia)

@TheBlockernator Perhaps some vulgar context, fanservice or jokes also play a role. Like in KissSiss, where you also have not so much of "real" nudity.

This has an oppai loli, you don't see that often in anime (or even Vtubing for the matter, Anya Melfissa and Henya are the only bigtime oppai lolis I can think of in an agency).

@28012001 I don’t know in what context you used the word “explode,” but I didn’t talk about Aimi in this comment.

@Kenchiin The manga itself isn't really fatphobic. The therapist mostly just encourages her to be healthy and gets mad when she doesn't.

The only really mean moments are when 2 of the fat elves start to insult each other. (There's a whole dark elf vs light elf rivalry)

@Hoppy You have me intrigued. What's the character name? The Guild's daughter from Futoku no Guild is the last of that type of character I remember seeing.

@Tokoya The series regularly has the girls going to bathhouses and spa's and they don't cover anything. Except a small light over their genitalia. That's it. There are other bits of nudity but it tends to be comedic.

Every volume i read had at least one scene of the girls nude.

@Kenchiin The entire premise is her trying to lose weight, so it is exactly what "those people" would call "fatphobic".
