All the Words She Wrote

Takaoka Mayo is a twenty-four-year-old woman without any particular plans in life, nor any particular career goals. For several years, shes been drifting between low-paid part-time jobs, while living with her parents: her nagging mother and her kind-hearted father.

Mayo is unmotivated and lazy at the best of times, but she does have a passion: namely, Princess Luluna from the popular light novel series, The Forest of the Elves and the Pressured Princess, written by one Tsuchimi Rui.

Mayos love for Princess Luluna is so great, her room is full of Elf Forest merchandise. Her walls are covered in posters of Lulunas smiling face, and she owns several Luluna figures, much to the bemusement of her best friend, Nina.

Despite Mayos intense, borderline obsessive love for Elf Forest, shes content to pine after her fictional waifu from afar that is, until one day, when a friend of her familys, Sae, offers Mayo an incredible job offer.

Sae works as a publisher at a company called Horizon, which as it happens is the very same company which publishes Tsuchimi Ruis Elf Forest.

Sae tells Mayo, to her disbelief, that she knows Elf Forests elusive author personally and, whats more, shes worried about them. Rui has been in something of a slump during the last few months, and the creation of Elf Forests ninth volume has stalled. Sae is looking for a housekeeper to take care of Ruis chores, so Rui can focus exclusively on their writing: a job she decides to delegate to Mayo.

Mayo, of course, is overjoyed at the prospect of meeting her idol, and instantly accepts but soon, she learns Tsuchimi Rui isnt at all like she imagined.

Contrary to Mayos beliefs, Tsuchimi Rui is not a middle-aged man, but a young woman only a few years older than she is: a reclusive, awkward hermit who, despite being sub five feet tall, has a biting tongue and a needle-sharp personality.

This womans real name is Komikado Hijiri and, at Saes behest, Mayo finds herself living under Hijiris roof.

Mayo and Hijiri get off to an uneasy start, but as time passes, the pair begin to grow closer. Mayo begins to grow fond of Hijiri, yet still, she finds herself wondering: who is her real waifu? Princess Luluna, or the misanthropic author who created her?
