The official X (formerly Twitter) account for Kanata Hoshi's Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! (Akujiki Reijō to Kyōketsu Kōshaku: Sono Mamono, Watashi ga Oishiku Itadakimasu!) light novel series announced the main cast , opening song artists, and April 2025 premiere date for the novels' television anime on Friday.

Kanna Nakamura plays Melphiera Marchalrayd, while Taito Ban plays Aristide of Galbraith. The official YouTube channel of Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Sirius magazine is streaming a video featuring the two voice actors voicing scenes from the manga.

The novel illustrator Peperon and the novels' manga adaptation artist Chika Mizube drew the illustrations below to celebrate the anime.

Idol group AVAM will perform the opening theme song.

The anime will premiere on the TBS and BS11 channels in April 2025.

Kodansha USA Publishing releases the light novels' manga adaptation by Chika Mizube in print. Kodansha's K MANGA service simultaneously releases the manga digitally and describes the story:

Melphiera is an earl's daughter who's shunned by most of the nobility, thanks to rumors about her proclivity for monster-based cuisine. When she attends a party in hopes of finding someone to wed, she's attacked by a vicious monster—only to be saved by Aristide of Galbraith, feared as the “Blood-Mad Duke.” He begins to take a liking to Melphiera…and before long, he's even interested in the “hobby” she never dared to tell anyone else! Love, battle, and great cuisine await in this romantic fantasy!

Hoshi launched the story on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in 2019. Kodansha published the first light novel volume with illustrations by Peperon in April 2021, and the third volume in April 2023.

Mizube launched the manga adaptation in pixiv's "Palcy" manga app in 2021. The manga's ninth compiled book volume shipped in Japan on Friday.
