This Alluring Dark Elf Has the Heart of a Middle-Aged Man! (Manga) Volume 1

With no friends, family, or romance to speak of, Haruka has lived his life just going through the motions—until the day he awakens in the body of a beautiful, and womanly, dark elf! Suddenly, a world beyond his wildest imagination awaits, and uncontainable excitement races through him. There’s just one problem: He gave up on putting himself out there a long time ago and has no idea how to strike up a conversation with other people. Teenagers and (other) women are certainly no exception.

But with a bottomless well of mana and a ridiculously tough body to boot, Haruka won’t let any overthinking get in the way this time. Little by little, the dark elf works past his (her) fears and self-doubt, forging deep bonds with precious new friends and growing together with them. So begins a heartwarming story of an old man determined to make the most of this new fantastical lease on life!
