Love this, one Isekai were the MC doesn't inmmediately know how to speak the local language.

I wonder if it'll be a slice of live about a boy learning to live in another world or it will also have adventure.

Of all the languages she could encounter it just had to be Nihongo...

What the other guy said about english being dogshit, plus japanese is pretty simple as long as you ignore kanji. But above all that, you know how japanese is pretty limited with it's syllabic structure and lacking common sounds from other languages? Well, this isekai conlang seems even fucking worse somehow. Limited sounds and also syllable based, with an even smaller syllabary.

I think the root of the issue isn't that the elf is learning japanese specifically, but that the author is channeling his past struggles with english (new sounds and syllables) into her. Or something like that.
