The upcoming This Monster Wants to Eat Me anime has revealed a new collaboration visual featuring the main characters at the Iyosai Festival. It is an annual event held on the last Saturday and Sunday of July in Ehime, where the anime is set.
Previously, the anime revealed a visual showcasing the characters in casual attire and life-size character panels were installed at four locations across Ehime Prefecture.
Studio STUDIO LINGS is animating the series with Naoyuki Kuzuya as chief director and Yusuke Suzuki as director. Mitsutaka Hirota is in charge of the series composition and screenplays, Nozomi Ikuyama is on character design, Keiji Inai composes the music, and Ryosuke Naya is the sound director. The voice cast includes:
- Reina Ueda as Hinaka Yaotose
- Yui Ishikawa as Shiori Oumi
- Fairouz Ai as Miko Yashiro
The anime adaptation is based on a manga series written and illustrated by Sai Naekawa. ASCII Media Works Dengeki Maoh magazine has been serializing the series since August 2020. Yen Press published the first volume in English in June 2024.
The synopsis of the series is as follows:
“I’ve come to eat you,” so softly utters the mermaid Shiori as she emerges from the sea and takes high school girl Hinako by the hand. Hinako lives alone in a town by the sea and possesses an unusually delicious body that is irresistible to nearby monsters. To ensure that she matures to the best condition, Shiori seeks to protect Hinako—all so that someday, she can devour every piece of her. A longing thought comes to Hinako’s mind; “Maybe this monster can make my wish come true.”
