The series has been covered by Anime Feminist in a single analytical review, with no further coverage or production announcements in the subsequent weekly round-up.
Anime Feminist published a review of the yuri horror series This Monster Wants to Eat Me on May 16, 2026. The analysis frames the central monster-girl relationship as a deliberate narrative device for examining trauma, taboo desire, and the nature of consent. The review focuses on the dynamic between Hinako, a grieving teen with passive suicidal ideation, and Shiori, a mermaid who wants to consume her. It argues that Shiori's neutral acknowledgment of Hinako's death wish creates a seed of permission that makes agency over her own life possible.
