Nihon e Youkoso Elf-san

Kitase Kazuhiro seems like your typical Japanese office worker—always punctual, always leaving work on time. But in a country known for overtime, that alone makes him a bit unusual. What’s truly bizarre, however, happens after hours. Every night, after his usual routine of a shower and pajamas, he drifts off into sleep… and awakens in a vivid fantasy world. He lives, fights, and explores until he either dies or falls asleep there—only to wake up back in his Tokyo apartment. But one night, after he and his elf companion are slain by a dragon, he jolts awake as usual… only to find that the elf is now sleeping beside him in the real world. A dream? Or has the boundary between worlds started to crack?
