We’re exactly one month away from the debut of the Plus-Sized Elf anime which adapts the manga of the same name by Synecdoche. The official website revealed plans for a July 6 premiere in Japan along with nine more cast members and a new visual.

The latest to get in on the adaptation are Miyu Kubota as Kusahanada, Sora Tukui as Meru, Madoka Asahina as Raika, Aya Uchida as Oku & Akiho Ino, Kotori Koiwai as Kobo, Yuka Iguchi as Sateru, Kaori Maeda as Honeda, Aino Shimada as Gonda and Mikoi Sasaki as Hitome.

Here’s the new visual:

The Plus-Sized Elf anime is being directed by Toshikatsu Tokoro (Soul Link), with Yuki Takabayashi (Love Rice) in charge of scripts and Katsuyuki Sato (Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!) on character designs for the Elias production. Cher Watanabe (The Prince of Tennis) is on board as music composer.

The Plus-Sized Elf manga by Synechdoche is being published in English via Seven Seas Entertainment, and HIDIVE recently announced plans to stream the anime as it airs.

Here’s how HIDIVE describes it:

Naoe-kun, a massage therapist, is about to head home for the day when he’s saddled with a rather strange patient. This lovely lady has emerald eyes, pointy ears, and grew up in the forest—everything about her screams “elf,” except for one thing: her bodacious body. It turns out she left her world but loves junk food in this one, and now her obsession has caught up with her. Can Naoe-kun help this loveable elf girl lose the weight—and keep it off?
