THOSE WHO HUNT ELVES

REVIEW

THOSE WHO HUNT ELVES (erefu o karu monotachi) by Yu YAGAMI (Dengeki Comics), 210pp, Y573, 13x18cm.
How can I explain this? The three characters are a macho guy, a beautiful actress and a senior high school girl. They are stuck in an alternate magical world. And they have a battle tank with them; yup, the kind with a big gun. At the beginning of the story, the chief elf/sorceress tries to send them back but the spell misfires, and the words of the spell are scattered everywhere, coming to rest, they conclude, on the bodies of various elves. So the only way they can get back now is to hunt for elves (female ones) and undress them.
Naturally things don't go smoothly; the elves tend to object, the tank needs fuel, and the elf/sorceress gets turned into a small and angry dog. If you know this much, you should be able to follow some of the manga.
There is also a TV anime adaptation, but my scanner operator (J. Gosling) thinks the manga looks better.
