Review: PLUS-SIZED ELF

After all the feasting on Thursday, I imagine there are plenty of people out there considering taking up a diet to combat holiday-related weight gain.  Funny enough, there's a food-related manga for that too!

PLUS-SIZED ELF (Elf-san ha Yaserarenai), by Synecdoche.  First published in 2016 and first published in North America in 2018.



PLOT:

Naoe's skill as a massage therapist is put to the test when Elfuda comes into his office.  She's an actual elf with a hopeless addiction to French fries, and because of that she's put on so much weight that she can't transport herself back home.  The combination of Naoe's masterful hands and sensible advice eventually gets her (temporarily) back in shape, and soon enough Naoe finds himself called upon to help other magical beings, all of whom have fallen prey to delicious human delights and gained weight because of it.
