The Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! novel originally started serialization on Japanese self-publishing website Shosetsuka ni Narou in November 2019. Kodansha has published its print edition featuring illustrations by Peperon from its K Lanove Books imprint since April 2021, with three volumes released to date. It is the first series from the imprint to receive a TV anime adaptation.
Meanwhile, the novel’s manga adaptation illustrated by Chika Muzube has been serialized in Kodansha’s Palcy website since March 2021. The ninth physical volume was released today in Japan.
Kodansha USA publishes an official English version of the manga and describes the story:
Like any proper noble lady, one must have certain acquired tastes. For Melphiera Marchalrayd, she just happens to crave a rather exotic protein—monsters! But do not judge! Despite its bad reputation, monster meat can be used in exquisite cuisine and Melphiera is determined to change the kingdom’s opinion of it! Unfortunately, since debuting in society, Melphiera has been struggling to find her perfect match…until she meets the fearless “Blood-Mad Duke” of Galbraith!
