Plus-Sized Elf #3

The charming, pointy-eared elf at the center of Synecdoche's slice-of-life manga series strikes a wide, energetic pose on this volume 3 cover — arms spread, legs lunging, sparkling blue eyes full of mischief, and a graphic tee with bold kanji stretched across her frame. It's an immediately lively image that captures the series' warm, good-natured humor perfectly. If you've been following along, volume 3 is a welcome continuation of one of manga's more cheerful and body-positive ongoing stories.
