The previously announced Plus-Sized Elf anime revealed a new visual featuring the cast along with a July 2024 premiere date at Anime Japan 2024. The cast of the anime includes Ayasa Ito as Elfuda, Rena Hasegawa as Kuroeda, Ayaka Fukuhara as Olga, and Takahide Ishii as Tomoatsu Naoe. The staff working on the series is yet to be revealed.
The anime is based on Synecdoche’s manga, originally serialized on Wani Books’ Comic Gum website from 2016 to 2021. Synecdoche then self-published the series from April to May 2021 after the license expired. The author started a continuation manga titled Plus-Sized Elf: Second Helping! in Dokodemo Young Champion, a monthly seinen magazine by Akita Shoten in October 2021.
Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga in English and describes the plot as:
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?
