Sai Naekawa writes and draws the This Monster Wants to Eat Me manga, which has been serialized in ASCII Media Works’ Dengeki Maoh magazine since August 2020. Yen Press licensed it in English, describing the story:
“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.”
