Koito Koganei - Edomae Elf

Eldritch Embraces and Otaku Obsessions: Koito and the Elf's Secret Summer Night

The late afternoon sun cast long, lazy shadows across Koito Koganei's cramped, yet meticulously organized, apartment. Dust motes danced in the golden shafts of light, illuminating the stacks of manga, the humming shelves of anime figurines, and the general, cozy chaos of a true otaku's sanctuary. Koito himself, a young man whose passion for all things animated and fictional often overshadowed his social graces, was hunched over his desk, furiously sketching a new character design.
