Futabasha's Gaugau Monster service revealed on Thursday that Toi Ishino's manga adaptation of Mugi Mameta's Dinners with My Darling: How the Former Monster King Ate Her Way to Happiness is receiving an anime adaptation. The announcement specified that the anime will be based on Ishino's manga version of the story.
No further details regarding the anime's production, cast, or release window have been shared at this time. The original light novel series was serialized online from April 2022 to October 2023 before Futabasha published the first compiled volume in October 2022. The manga adaptation began in January 2023.
The story centers on Abigail, a noblewoman who, despite a past as a Dark Lord, finds herself in a marriage of convenience. After her groom declares he doesn't love her, Abigail's primary concern becomes her meals. The narrative explores her pursuit of happiness through delicious food and the unexpected attention from her new husband.
MangaPlaza is publishing the manga digitally in English, while Cross Infinite World is handling the English digital release of the light novels. The seventh volume for both the manga and the light novel series is scheduled for release on May 7.
