Really cute and funny story about Eldali, a centuries-old elf of Takamimi Shrine, and her shrine maiden Koganei Koito. Elda is a shy, geeky introvert who prefers to stay inside and drink 'Red Bell' (Red Bull) while playing video games or building figurines. Her interactions with Koito and other humans are hilarious and sweet while also being thoughtful explorations of how culture and technology have changed so much over time. My favorite chapter was the one about Elda's blind box gambling - I definitely know the pain of opening up one just to get a repeat and/or less desirable figure!

5/5 and I am excited to read the next. \(≧▽≦)/
