Naoe works as a massager at a health clinic, and on his way home one day he come across a honest for real elf named Elfuda. The pointy eared girl comes from a fairy world, and came to explore the modern day human world, but ended up being unable to return home because of her love for French fries. Now, she's a "plus-sized" elf, and seeks Naoe's help in getting back to her petite shape so she can fit back to her weight-specific wormhole back to her dimension. For some reason, Elfuda ends up becoming Naoe's roommate, and his constant attempts to help her trim down keep backfiring, even after she occasionally reaches her original size. Not only this, but other females from the fantasy world keep popping up with the same problem of not being able to return to their realm because they also get hooked on fast food. Despite this, the other dark elves, mermaids, dragons, ogres, and werewolves manage to blend into Japanese society well, sometimes being confused with cosplayers.
This manga presents a unique story that works for printed format, meaning it might not turn out as good as an anime. Aside from the engaging quirky characters, it also cleverly gives hints and techniques for manga readers to keep themselves fit. This is a little more appealing as a webcomic as opposed to a printed graphic novel series, but its still a charming read.
