The manga went on a half-year hiatus in May 2021 to switch publishers to Akita Shoten, and then resumed in Dokodemo Young Champion in October 2021, ending shortly thereafter, with Akita Shoten publishing a new eighth volume in November 2021. Akita Shoten then began re-releasing the first seven volumes of the manga in June 2022.

Synopsis

Naoe-kun, a masseuse, is about to head home at the end of the day when he's assigned to a rather strange patient. This lovely lady has green eyes, pointy ears, and grew up in the forest—everything about her screams "elf," except for one thing: her voluptuous body. It turns out she's left her world, but she loves junk food, and now her obsession has caught up with her. Can Naoe-kun help this adorable elf lose weight—and keep it off?

Finally, the publisher is also releasing new editions of the manga with new covers.
