Seven Seas Entertainment publishes the manga in English, describing the story as follows:
"Naoe-kun, a massage therapist, is about to head home when he encounters an unusual patient. This enchanting lady, with emerald eyes and pointy ears, is unmistakably an elf—except for her voluptuous figure. Having left her world, she developed a fondness for junk food in this one, leading to her current predicament. Can Naoe-kun help this charming elf girl shed the extra weight and maintain a healthier lifestyle?"
The company is also releasing new editions of the manga with updated covers.
Synecdoche has launched "Plus-Sized Elf: Second Helping" (Shin Plus-Sized Elf) on LINE Manga in November 2021 as the "second season" of the original series. Akita Shoten will publish the fourth compiled volume on August 20. Seven Seas is also releasing this continuation in English.
