Micro Magazine's Comic Elmo online manga service revealed on Tuesday that Yoroida's #Kanagawa ni Sunderu Elf (Kanagawa Elves or literally, The Elves Living in Kanagawa) manga is getting a live-action drama on September 30 and a television light anime adaptation in December. Both will debut within Television Kanagawa's (tvk) Neko no Hitai Hodo Wide local information program. Yoroida drew an illustration to commemorate the announcements:

- Teruhisa Takura (THE SUPER FRUIT member) as Elf from Yokosuka
- Junya Asada as Elf from Chigasaki

Oolongta Yoshida is directing and writing the script for the live-action adaptation.
The fantasy comedy manga tells the story of elves whose forest home had been burned down, and are now living ordinary lives in Kanagawa.
Yoroida launched the manga on Comic Elmo in August 2020. Micro Magazine published the manga's first compiled book volume in 2021, and the fifth volume on March 10.
