Lastly, here’s a synopsis, courtesy of Crunchyroll:
Any proper noble lady must cultivate refined tastes, and Lady Melphiera’s delicacy of choice is…monsters! Unfortunately, society frowns upon such unladylike cravings and brands her the “Voracious Villainess.” At a banquet, she’s attacked by a monster, only to be saved by the feared “Blood-Mad Duke.” He’s brutal, mysterious, and charming. Could he be the one to appreciate her monstrous appetite?
