Otaku Elf in English so far
The English edition started with Vol. 1 on Mar 23, 2021 from Seven Seas. In the 5.1 years since, 11 volumes have come out — one about every 6 months on average. Recent volumes have kept close to that pace (about every 6 months). The longest wait was 9 months, between Vol. 6 and Vol. 7.
Japan is at Vol. 13 (Jun 9, 2026), so 2 volumes are already out in Japan but not yet in English. At the current English pace, releasing those would take about 12 months.
