The manga series Plus-Sized Elf, by Synedoche was initially serialized on Comic Gum from 2016 to 2020, with eight volumes released. After a hiatus, the series was self-published by the author on Twitter in 2021. Akita Shoten then acquired the rights and reprinted the series in 2022-2023, also launching a sequel series called Plus-Sized Elf: Second Helping! in 2021. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed both series for English release in North America.
HIDIVE describes Plus-Sized Elf anime as follows:
Naoe-kun, a massage therapist, is about to head home for the day when he’s saddled with a rather strange patient. This lovely lady has emerald eyes, pointy ears, and grew up in the forest—everything about her screams “elf,” except for one thing: her bodacious body. It turns out she left her world but loves junk food in this one, and now her obsession has caught up with her. Can Naoe-kun help this loveable elf girl lose the weight—and keep it off?
