Summary:
Melphiera Marchalrayd has a very particular sense of taste. By that, we mean she enjoys monster meat. Most people would be terrified of the idea of eating monsters, but Melphiera understands that there is a way to make monster meat safe for consumption.
Unfortunately, it's rather difficult to find a husband when you have a reputation for eating monsters. Enter the "Blood-Mad Duke" of Galbraith. He's known to be harsh and aloof, but he may be about to meet his match.
Review:
What a unique concept! Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! Vol. 1 is a quirky and sometimes hilarious start to the series. I can't wait to get to know the characters more, as there is so much potential in this romantic comedy.
Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! Vol. 1 introduces us to a world where monsters exist, and naturally, they cause quite a ruckus. For the most part, people seem content to avoid the monsters whenever possible. Except those that are trained to hunt them, of course.
I enjoy the unique nature of Melphiera's taste. Sometimes, the cooking descriptions go too far for my liking (not a graphic thing, more like my brain just shut off at all the details, you know?). Overall, I'd say this is a fun series worth checking out.
Highlights:
Fantasy Manga
Monsters
Romantic Comedy

Will I continue the series? Probably!
