新・エルフさんは痩せられない。[Shin Elf-san wa Yaserarenai] #2

A buxom, pointy-eared elf strains against resistance bands in a determined workout pose, while a muscular mermaid floats in the background — the whole cover radiating the series' signature blend of comedy, body positivity, and fantasy charm. Synecdoche's Shin Elf-san wa Yaserarenai continues its good-natured story of fantastical ladies tackling the very relatable struggle of fitness, and volume 2 looks every bit as energetic and fun as the premise promises. Published by Akita Shoten, this is a delightful pick for fans of slice-of-life manga with a warmhearted, whimsical twist.
