Elf ni Oshiete Tsukeru Hon (エルフに教えてつける本) is a Japanese light novel series written by Yoshitsugu Tanaka (pen name) and illustrated by Miyabi Akino, first published in 2021 under the Dengeki Bunko imprint. The story follows a cynical human adventurer, Kaito, who finds a mysterious grimoire that allows him to “teach obedience” to elves — creatures who, in this world, are haughty, magically powerful, and view humans as inferiors. The book’s actual magic compels elves to experience human emotions and physical sensations, leading to comedic, ecchi, and occasionally dramatic situations.

The story centers on a classic fantasy trope subverted for adult entertainment. The narrative follows an Elf—a being typically portrayed as pure, long-lived, and detached from human desires—who becomes the subject of a magical experiment.
The protagonist applies a mystical "lewd crest" (or "womb tattoo") onto the Elf. In the lore of this genre, these crests are magical symbols that heighten sensitivity, force arousal, or bind the wearer to the caster's will. The plot focuses on the gradual corruption of the Elf, who initially resists the influence of the crest but eventually succumbs to the overwhelming pleasure and mind-breaking effects of the magic.
