The Upcoming Fantasy Romance Anime

Pass the ‘Monstrous Feast’, My Lady!”, is a fantasy-romance anime that originated from a light novel series penned by Kanata Hoshi. The novels were initially self-published on a Japanese platform called Shosetsuka ni Narou, starting in November 2019. Due to its widespread popularity and success, it was adapted into a manga as early as March 2021, with Chika Muzube providing the illustrations and Kodansha’s Palcy website handling publication. Since December 2023, an English version of “Pass the ‘Monstrous Feast’, My Lady!” has been released by Kodansha USA.

CrunchyRoll (via Kodansha USA) describes the plot of Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! as,

Just as a well-bred aristocratic lady would have distinctive preferences, Melphiera Marchalrayd possesses an unusual taste – monstrous creatures. Don’t be misled; monster meat is not only edible but also suitable for refined dishes, and Melphiera aims to alter the kingdom’s perception of it! However, since her entrance into high society, Melphiera has been having trouble finding a suitable partner… until she encounters the brave “Blood-Mad Duke” of Galbraith!

Hand over the Monster Meat, My Lady!”, when it finally hits the screens, promises an entertaining, light-hearted blend of fantasy and romance. Fingers crossed that they manage to complete it by Fall 2025, as planned. Given the constant strain faced by those in the anime and manga production industry, extending their deadline for a less stressful work environment may feel like a long wait for enthusiastic fans, but it often results in a more fulfilling final product.
