Otaku Elf Season 2 Plot
This part of the article may contain Otaku Elf spoilers; if you would like to avoid them, you should probably skip it. The Elf overcomes her concerns and connects with the secrets of the world outside her shrine in the next season, making her more at ease in her newfound surroundings.
As Koito and the elf become fast friends via their shared experiences, the next season is filled with exciting adventures as Koito teaches the elf the real world.
The elf becomes Koito’s buddy when he convinces her that she is lovely and that she doesn’t need to spend her life in the shrine. With this, the elf can finally get back on track with her life after 60 long years of isolation.
There will be plenty of funny moments in season 2 when the elf gets into mischief outdoors, but Koito is always there to save the day and lead the way.
Otaku Elf Season 2: Is there enough source material?
It has long been an issue that there is insufficient manga source material. This is the main cause of the cancellation and subsequent non-renewal of several anime. Is this, however, also true of Otaku Elf? Starting in 2019, the manga series Otaku Elf is now continuing. There are 122 chapters in all of the seven volumes of the manga.
The first season of the show has unfortunately only gone up to Volume 6, so there is just one more book that has to be animated. There isn’t enough content to go around for another season just yet. It might take some time since the manga is continuing.
However, there will be enough source material soon. Those who are eager for it must wait. The seventh book of the series, together with the weekly or monthly chapters, is available for their perusal if they so desire.

With a 7.5/10 from IMDB, the anime received average reviews across the board. Otaku Elf skillfully translated the manga’s charisma and characters into an anime, as seen by MyAnimeList’s 7.29/10 rating.
