おたくの隣りはエルフですか? [Otaku No Tonari Wa Erufu Desuka?] #3

Volume 3 of this lighthearted seinen manga from Kōdansha delivers a sun-soaked cover featuring the pointy-eared, pink-haired elf front and center in a striking yellow bikini, while a wide-eyed young man splashes about in the water behind her — tentacles lurking ominously nearby suggesting the duo's beach outing may not go entirely smoothly. Creator 植野メグル (Ueno Meguru) brings a fun, vibrant energy to the series' premise of an ordinary otaku living next door to a decidedly extraordinary neighbor.
