Otaku Elf anime is adapted from the manga by Akihiko Higuchi. Kodansha’s Shonen Magazine Edge is serializing the series since June 2019 and currently has 6 volumes in circulation. Seven Seas Entertainment is licensing the manga in English and describes the plot as follows:
A lighthearted manga series about a quirky elf from another world who’s fascinated by video games–and the local girls who have to deal with her. Koganei Koito works as the teenage shrine maiden at the Takamimi Shrine, catering to the whims of its resident: a centuries-old elf who loves video games as much as she hates going outside! Line up your offerings for the otaku elf—some energy drinks, chips and video games will do nicely—and watch her new friends scramble to keep up!
