Written and illustrated by Sai Naekawa, This Monster Wants to Eat Me has been serialized in ASCII Media Works' Dengeki Maoh magazine since August 27, 2020.

It is set to be produced by Studio Lings and directed by Yūsuke Suzuki, with Naoyuki Kuzuya serving as chief director, Mitsutaka Hirota writing the scripts, Sō Ikuyama designing the characters, and Keiji Inai composing the music.

"[20] Adam Symchuk of Asian Movie Pulse wrote of the series that it was a "perfect companion piece to the acclaimed BL horror title The Summer Hikaru Died," and that due to their close release dates it may be difficult for readers not to draw comparisons between the two.

He further expanded that This Monster Wants to Eat Me is a "slightly less profound and visually striking version [of The Summer Hikaru Died but] will be a welcome treat for many still salivating for more terror twisted with romance.
