Ryousuke Senbo (Yo-kai Watch!, Scraggy and Mimikyu) is directing the series at EMT Squared and Magic Bus. Natsuko Takahashi (Anne Shirley, Love and Lies, Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan) and Saeka Fujimoto (Alice or Alice, The Highschool Life of a Fudanshi) are overseeing the series scripts, Chiaki Abe is designing the characters, and Katsutoshi Kitagawa (Buddy Daddies, Chobits) from ROUND TABLE is composing the music.
Kodansha USA Publishing publishes the series in English digitally and describes the story:
What’s a maid to do when she finds herself suddenly stuck in Japan for a year? Eat, of course! Follow maid-in-training Suzume Tachibana as she tries all sorts of Japanese food, from sweets like taiyaki and melon bread to savory snacks like takoyaki and onigiri! Be warned, though—while Suzume sates her appetite through delicious treat after delicious treat, she might just end up whetting yours!
Maeya debuted the The Food Diary of Miss Maid (Maid-san wa Taberu Dake) manga on Kodansha‘s Comic Days website in December 2019, and the digital serialization is ongoing. Kodansha published the manga’s fourth compiled book volume in March 2022. Kodansha USA released the fourth volume digitally in February 2023.
