A manga about an elf who wants to be a live sacrifice to repay her debts but the monster refuses to eat her because her feet stink.

Yeah, the synopsis makes this series seem paper thin and it really is at the beginning. Every chapter follows the bodacious elf as she tries to find a way to be eaten only to be rejected by the monster. I liked how the monster only spoke through signs he held but the obvious fan service was eye rolling.

Luckily the story takes a turn as angel characters appear to try and defeat the monster, which makes the elf reveal her dark side as she threatens them from taking away her objective. This revelation of the elf’s super strength and sadistic side really added to the comedy and kept me reading. I’m glad I did because the relationship between the monster and elf evolve and the story does some good twists at the end that made them really likable. All I had to do was completely ignore all the gratuitous fan service.
