Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! #2

Volume 2 of Pass the Monster Meat, Milady! arrives with a cover that perfectly captures the series' mix of fantasy elegance and offbeat charm — a bright-eyed, pink-haired young noblewoman reclines amid scattered parchment, a quill pen, and a framed portrait, while a brooding silver-haired figure looms protectively above her, fur-trimmed coat and all. Chika Mizube's artwork (from the original concept by Kanata Hoshi and character designs by Peperon) renders every detail with lush, decorative flair, from the autumn botanical arrangement overhead to the intricate embroidery on the characters' outfits. If the first volume left you hungry for more courtly culinary adventures, this second installment looks ready to deliver.
