Edomae Elf Summary
Koganei Koito is a young girl who works as a guard at Takamimi Shrine. The shrine is rumored to be inhabited by a deity, but the real occupant is an immortal elf who was captured on Earth some four hundred years ago. Also, the elf is a totally closed person who doesn’t want to go outside… and has developed a taste for video games! In this charming fantasy comedy, the shrine’s guardians must satisfy the elf’s penchant for the latest gadgets, from handheld games to virtual reality headsets.
