What is Elf manga?

The origin of Elves (Norse; álfar(elves), álfr(elf)) can be found in ancient Norse mythology, in which, elves are described as divine, or near-divine, race of humanoids (Vættir), likened to the Æsir. In common description they are described as sage and immortal beings occupying the threshold between humans and the gods. In some cases humans that were beloved by the gods became elves within their lives. Ancient Elves are delineated into a pair of similar but distinct races; Light Elves (Ljósálfar) and Dark Elves (Svartálfar), each originating from separate homes within the nine worlds of Yggdrasil. Within the Poetic Edda the differences are commonly ascribed as: "There is one place there that is called the Elf Home (Álfheimr which is the elven city). People live there that are named the light elves (Ljósálfar). But the dark elves (Dökkálfar) live below in earth, in caves and the dark forest and they are unlike them in appearance - and more unlike them in reality. The Light Elves are brighter than the sun in appearance, but the Dark Elves are blacker than pitch." (Snorri, Gylfaginning 17, Prose Edda)

Danshi Kinsei Game Sekai de Ore ga Yarubeki Yuitsu no Koto

Description:

–A man who gets sandwiched by Yuri can just go to hell. Hiiro unfortunately got reincarnated in the world of the Yuri game 『Everything for the Score』, where such words are true. At first, for Hiiro, who loves Yuri, the world seemed like an ideal world for him, but…he gradually became aware of the reality. Because the world he lived in was a modern Japan world where magic exists, a fantasy world where scores are everything. On top of that, the world was a caste world where everything from behavior, accomplishments, even daily life affairs such as how to fold a futon was evaluated, and the 『Score』 given by the government is the one that determines the caste. In such a world, Hiiro continues to be persecuted unreasonably, being given 0 points just because he is a man. Moreover, he was destined to die a horrible death because he got reincarnated as the one and only male annoyance in the game. In order to deal with the approaching death flag, he seeks power by training his magic, and making strategy after strategy by making the best use of the game’s knowledge until….Even though it is supposed to be a Yuri game, he, who was just an annoyance, somehow got surrounded by the heroines. “… are? Where is the Yuri?” This is a story about a man who was supposed to be an annoyance until he destroyed the world of the Yuri game in another sense. (Source: NU)
