Kadokawa announced on Friday that Chizuna Nakajima‘s Elf-Sensei no Toire wa Doko Desu ka? (Where is the Elf Teacher’s Toilet?) manga is getting a television anime adaptation.

Nakajima drew an illustration to commemorate the announcement:

The story revolves around the elf teaching trainee Eruru, who has come from another world. She finds she can only relieve herself in the lush forest.

Nakajima launched the manga in Kadokawa‘s Comic Cune magazine in January 2024. The manga will resume serialization on Saturday.

Kadokawa published the first compiled volume of the manga in July 2024, and published the second volume in February 2025.

Nakajima launched the Jitensha no Onee-san (The Bicycle Lady) manga in Comic Cune in September 2019 and ended it in September 2020. Kadokawa published two volumes for the manga.

Nakajima launched the Angel’s Drop (Tenshi no Drop) comedy manga on Holp Shuppan‘s Flex Comix Blood site in 2011, but after Flex Comix Blood shut down a year later, the manga moved to the Comic Meteor website. The manga ended in December 2013. The manga inspired a television anime special from director Kōji Itō and the anime studio AIC Frontier in 2013.

Gyuwanburā Jikochūshin-ha Doranpu Teikoku o Wakarasero! (Self-Centered Gambler: Teach the Dramp Empire a Lesson!), a new mahjong game parodying United States President Donald Trump, went on display at the Success booth during the Tokyo Game Show (TGS) 2026 this week. Along with the demo at TGS 2026, the company Success presented a promotional video for its game:

The game features 20 characters from the Gyuwanburā Jikochūshin-ha franchise by veteran mahjong manga creator Masayuki Katayama. It also adds two new opponents: Great Dramp and Elon Musg — Dramp’s greatest collaborator whose company Laste is developing a gasoline-powered mahjong table. The story begins at Nankuru Prison on an otherwise uninhabited Okinawan island, but then shifts to Dramp Tower in Manhattan.

Success is set to release the game in October on the Nintendo Switch for 5,280 yen (about US$34). The company has not announced if the game will be available internationally.

Katayama launched the original Gyuwanburā Jikochūshin-ha manga in Kodansha‘s Young Magazine in 1982. The Gyuwanburā Jikochūshin-ha game series began in 1987, and now boasts almost two dozen entries nearly four decades later.
