A Glimpse into the World of Monster Cuisine
Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! is based on Kanata Hoshi’s light novel series, which began on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in 2019 [cite: 5, 12, 13, 15]. Kodansha publishes the light novels with illustrations by Peperon, and a manga adaptation by Chika Mizube is serialized on Kodansha’s Palcy app [cite: 2, 5, 12, 13, 15]. Kodansha USA also publishes the manga in English [cite: 12, 13, 15].
The story introduces Melphiera Marchalrayd, an earl’s daughter with an unusual passion for cooking and eating monster meat [cite: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 14].

Her life takes an exciting turn when she encounters Aristide of Galbraith, the formidable “Blood-Mad Duke,” who saves her from a monster attack [cite: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 11, 14]. Intrigued by Melphiera’s unique hobby, Aristide soon develops an interest in her and her monster-based cuisine, leading to a romantic fantasy filled with “love, battle, and great cuisine” [cite: 5].
