Synecdoche initially wrote the Plus-Sized Elf manga from 2016-2021. A sequel series, titled Plus-Sized Elf: Second Helping! released in 2021. The series is still ongoing. Here’s an overview of the manga, via Seven Seas Entertainment:
The story of an elf struggling to lose weight after she discovered human French fries! 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 lovable elf girl lose the weight–and keep it off?
