A slice-of-life fantasy is built around a modern day shrine maiden named Koito and the divine entity she serves. That entity just happens to be an immortal elf from somewhere else who likes to sequester herself in the shrine as she eats junk food, plays video games, watches anime, collects figurines, and just generally revels in nerd life. Koito hopes to get the elf more involved in the shrine and community, but it's an uphill battle against the comfort of the kotatsu.

It's all very mild and low-key, sure, but the characters and their bickering are just endearing enough to bring me back for more. (
