Not quite sure what to do with their concept of a shut-in elf living as a god in a shrine in modern-day Tokyo, the author veers educational, throwing in lots of little history tidbits about the early Edo period when the elf first came to be deified. There's cute little slice-of-life stuff with the elf and her latest shrine maiden and even a visit from another elf. But there is so much fluff and no substance that I'm not sure how long this series will hold my attention if it can't find a direction or purpose. ( )
