江戸前エルフ [Edomae Elf]

In Edomae Elf (2019–present, Kōdansha), a centuries-old elf named Elda serves as the local deity of a Shinto shrine in Tokyo’s historic Edomae district, but she’s far more interested in video games and junk food than divine duties. This gentle comedy, written and illustrated by Yūki Yotsuba, blends supernatural folklore with modern slice-of-life humor, centering on Elda’s lazy antics and her bond with the shrine’s young priestess, Koyuzu. With 12 issues and counting, the series has charmed readers for its warm, witty take on tradition meeting contemporary Japan, making it a standout in the publisher’s lineup of character-driven manga.
