A reverse isekai arrives with Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf!

On the official site for the anime adaptation of the light novels written by Suzuki Makishima and illustrated by Yappen, "Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf! (Nihon e Youkoso Elf-san)," the main promotional video for the project was revealed. The video lists that the premiere is scheduled for January 10, 2025 in Japan, and shows a snippet of the theme songs, including:

• Sasaki will perform the opening theme titled "Palette Days," while Nijisanji's VTubers, Kaede Higuchi, and Kanae, will perform the closing theme titled "Yummy Yummy."

Suzuki Makishima began publishing the story through the independent service Shousetsuka ni Narou in February 2017, where they are still in publication. Hobby Japan began publishing on paper with illustrations by Yappen in October 2019. A manga adaptation by Sumio Aono has been published through Hobby Japan's Comic Fire magazine since December 2018.

Synopsis of Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf!

Kitase Kazuhiro is an ordinary salaryman who always leaves the office on time. Although this is Japan, so maybe it's not so common after all. The truly strange comes later. Every night he showers, puts on his pajamas and sleeps well. Then he dreams of a fantasy world, and only wakes up when he dies or sleeps in that world. One day, he dies along with his elf friend, after stumbling upon a dragon's lair. "A nightmare," he sulks, until he finds his elf friend in his bed.
