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 he’s not so ordinary after all. The really strange thing comes later. Every night he showers, puts on his pajamas and sleeps well. He then 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.
