Otaku Elf is like any iyashikei series which involves the main characters of this subgenre doing the best they can to make each day worth living for. The exception is that there is some solemn moments involving Elda being an immortal elf who can exceed a human's lifespan for a thousand years at least. Fortunately, this kind of subtlety didn't create mood whiplash as we can see her miko partner Koito being uplifting in helping & lecturing Elda about her duties as a deity. I love how this being an obvious tourism advertisement of Tsukishima in Chuo, Tokyo wasn't written like a blatant ad and the Edo era's history educational stuff is a plus for non-Japanese who would like to visit this place that soon.
What's more is the experience of a comfort feeling watching two female protagonists form a deep friendship day by day despite each of them having a different lifespan. I also get to see the supporting characters being able to carry the series with their various personalities from cheeky and quirky to clumsy and lovely. I'm glad these kind of supporting characters were able to make me feel that they're much important as the main characters going about their daily lives.
To sum up, if you want to watch a non-human character acting out human emotions in a cute, heartwarming way along with supporting characters that don't feel like they're written in this story just for the sake of acting as support to the main characters, then Otaku Elf should be your immediate watch that hopefully cleanse your whole self from today's reality without romanticised self-centred escapism (which is unfortunately prominent in male-lead stories) & wholesome moments being genuine to your heart.
