Synopsis:

Set against the backdrop of modern Tokyo, this series explores the unique bond between a teenage girl and an immortal elf. For centuries, the Takamimi Shrine has served as a conduit to Elda, a powerful being summoned from another realm. Koito Koganei is the latest in a line of shrine maidens tasked with caring for Elda, navigating the delicate balance between ancient tradition and contemporary life. The series follows Koito’s efforts to encourage Elda to engage with the world beyond the shrine's walls, highlighting the contrast between Elda’s reclusive nature and the vibrant culture surrounding her. Through these interactions, Koito uncovers the deep-rooted history of their community and the enduring affection locals hold for their goddess, offering a thoughtful look at duty, friendship, and cultural preservation within an unusual relationship dynamic.
