This Monster Wants to Eat Me Visual Features Casual Clothes and Ehime Food

The upcoming yuri anime This Monster Wants to Eat Me has received a casual wear-themed visual that depicts main characters Hinako Yaotose, Shiori Omi, and Miko Yashiro.

Aside from their casual wear, the characters can be seen with food items from the story’s setting of Ehime Prefecture. They include a mikan juice, the Botchan Dango, and skewered fried tarts (which seem to be Ichiroku Tarts).

This Monster Wants To Eat Me is set to premiere in October. The TV anime is based on the manga by Sai Naekawa, which began serialized in KADOKAWA’s Dengeki Maoh in October 2020 and has 10 tankoubon volumes as of May 27, 2025 JST. Yen Press describes the story as:

Hinako, a high school student with a dark past, lives alone in a town by the sea. Haunted by a constant sensation of drowning, she can barely go through the motions of her tedious life…until the day a monster tries to eat her! After passing out in the struggle, she awakens to find she’s been rescued by a beautiful mermaid. However, salvation comes at a cost—the mermaid’s protection will last only until Hinako has matured into the perfect meal! Hinako’s first instinct isn’t to run or scream, though, and an unlikely relationship between monster and prey unfolds… “I’ve come to devour you.”
