Those Who Hunt Elves

The story begins in modern Japan , where we meet characters completely unfamiliar to each other:

• Jumpei, karate and strong man;
• Airi, world famous artist;
• Ritsuko, an ordinary schoolgirl, but with excellent knowledge of firearms and able to drive tanks;
• Mike - the spirit of the cat , for unknown reasons, stuck in a Type 74 tank .

Suddenly they teleport to a new and unknown fantasy world, where they meet the leader of the elves - the powerful Celsia. Since Celsia is very unpleasant to see strangers strangers in her world, she decides to help them return to Japan, just to get rid of them. But, since Selsia does not want other elves to know that the powerful sorceress helps strangers - she turns herself into a dog for disguise. In the course of a magic spell designed to open a portal between the world of elves and Japan, Selsiya almost reaches her goal, but here the unlucky Jumpei again suddenly confuses the whole thing. Since Selsia used ancient and highly unstable magic, which should not suddenly stop during the spell, it splits into five magical fragments that fly around the elves world. Moreover, Selsia herself is now stuck in the body of an ordinary dog! Jumpei, Airi, and Ritsuko learn from her that the only way for them to get back to Japan is to find these magical fragments tattooed on the bodies of young elf girls. They realize that the only possible way to find them is to literally take off their clothes from every elf girl that catches their eye. Selsia, although reluctantly, agrees to help them, as she too cannot turn back into an elf without the magic of these fragments.

Dzyumpey ryūzōji clan ( Jap. 龍造寺淳平 Ryu: dzo: ji Dzyumpey) - originally from Japan. The sign of the zodiac is Virgo . Although he is only 19 years old, he is an expert in martial arts , has won six tournaments, likes to fight even when there is no reason for this. Jumpei is convinced that all problems are easily resolved with the help of fists. He is not very smart, and he is the first of the group to volunteer to take off clothes from elf girls with ease. Although Jumpei is rude, ill-mannered and a little egocentric, he has a kind heart - and he is the first of the group ready to take on himself the fire of enemies (even if this is an occasion to get into a fight again). Jumpei is an honest fighter: he will never allow himself to hit a defeated opponent or attack him from around the corner. He literally worships Airi, although he was not at all familiar with her. His favorite food is curry (a mixture of very spicy rice-chicken porridge with bread).

Airi Koriyama ( Jap. 小 宮 山 愛 理 Koriyama Airi ) - in the zodiac sign - Gemini . She's 24. Airi is a well-known and popular Hollywood actress, who, ironically, ended up in an unknown world with Jumpei and Ritsuko. Airi is rightly considered the master of strategy and the group's think tank, and is often forced to use her stage skills to get the unlucky Jumpei out of another mess. Although she is probably aware that Jumpei is her huge admirer, she does not feel the same way, and (probably most of all from the group) wants to get back to Japan.

Ritsuko Inoue ( 井上 律 子 Inoue Ritsuko ) - zodiac sign - Pisces . Ritsuko is the youngest member of the Elven Hunter group, she is only 16 years old. Ritsuko has long red hair and wears a school uniform. He loves studying and is a little shy. She is the most ordinary schoolgirl, albeit with unusual interests. Ritsuko is a master at all types of firearms, but prefers a sniper rifle with a telescopic sight. She easily drives a Type 74 tank (which is the main way to move the group) and is the main mechanic. Ritsuko is probably the most caring and non-conflict of the group, and always tries to put out the arguments of Jumpei and Celsia. Ritsuko prefers to spend his free time with Jumpei, if only to listen to his long stories about the tournaments he won.

Selsia Mary-Claire - ( Eng. Celsia Marie Claire ) - zodiac sign - Crescent of the Moon (in her world of elves, not ours). She is tall and blonde. Selsia is the most mysterious character of the group "Those who hunt the elves." The real age of Celsia is unknown. She is the main magician of all the elves of her world. Although at first glance she seems very collected and calm, she quickly loses her patience. She is a little cold and hides her true feelings. Selsia strongly dislikes Jumpei and often quarrels with him. For the most part, this is because Junpei thwarted her magic spell, after which she was stuck in the dog’s body in an attempt to fix it. In addition, Jumpei strongly doubts Celsia's magical abilities, loves to tease her, and is not afraid to express her real opinion to her.

Mike ( ミ ケ ケ ) is the spirit of a cat who annoyed the inhabitants of one village in the anime, moving from one stuffed toy to another and causing all kinds of inconvenience to the inhabitants, which he resolutely opposed. The only way to prevent him from moving into another toy was to close it in an iron box, and then a Type 74 tank turned up by their arm ... Ritsuko, suffering from loneliness, managed to make friends with the spirit and even gave him a name - Mike. Trying to save the Mike toy, both Ritsuko and the tank fall into the river, and there Mike’s spirit for some unknown reason moved to Type 74 and, saving Ritsuko, got stuck in it, not anticipating further attempts to move to the nearest plush toy. Mike, despite his transformation into a tank, still remains a true cat and is still afraid of dogs and water. Mike is attached to travelers and is the main mode of transportation for Jumpei, Airi, Ritsuko and Celsia.
