I read a couple of chapters of this a while ago. I enjoyed it, but ultimately moved on.
It's not bad and is an interesting and enjoyable set up, but it doesn't really grab you

The first volume didn't have much in regard to the plot, however, starting the second one there will be a real aventure based arc which will span several volumes but as someone who has read all the current volumes of the LN i can confirm, Welcome to Japan, Ms. Elf! is first and foremost a lighthearted romance with decent aventures arcs.

While the manga has much better art than most LN adaptation, i can't really feel the same atmosphere as in the LN so i would recommend reading the latter.

The title made me think it's like Anime News Nina, except rather than "news elves," they're country or culture elves, haha.

I actually like this one a lot, even if the story is quite slow. It's mostly just the two of them having a good time in Japan or the fantasy world, but that's part of the appeal. Reading it really makes me want to go on a trip with my friends again Very Happy
