Updated for 2026: We checked the current legal streaming options for This Monster Wants to Eat Me, the regular 2025 TV anime based on Sai Naekawa’s manga. Crunchyroll is the clearest international starting point, while Netflix Japan and U-NEXT are confirmed Japan options. Regional services such as Ani-One Asia, BiliBili TV, Prime Video/Amazon channel listings, Apple TV app pages, and Roku listings may also help depending on where you live.
This Monster Wants to Eat Me is the English platform title for the anime officially titled 私を喰べたい、ひとでなし in Japanese. It is a dark supernatural girls-love drama about Hinako, a lonely high school student by the sea, and Shiori, a mermaid who protects her from other monsters while promising to eat her someday. This is not hentai; it is a TV anime with heavy themes around grief, death wishes, monsters/yōkai, and complicated intimacy.
The short version: start with Crunchyroll if you are outside Japan. In Japan, check Netflix Japan and U-NEXT. If Crunchyroll does not show the series in your country, the Apple TV app, Prime Video/Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, Ani-One Asia, BiliBili TV, and Roku listings are worth checking — but those are much more region-dependent.

Best Legal Options for Watching This Monster Wants to Eat Me
1. Crunchyroll — Best First Stop Outside Japan
Crunchyroll has the direct series page for This Monster Wants to Eat Me, and Crunchyroll’s official trailer points viewers to the Crunchyroll watch page. Crunchyroll News also covered the anime as a yuri/supernatural suspense series and reported that Crunchyroll would stream it.
Use this as the first legal option to check if you are in the U.S. or another Crunchyroll-supported region. As always, anime catalogs vary by country, so a working U.S. page does not guarantee the same result everywhere.
2. Netflix Japan — Confirmed Japan Option
Netflix Japan has a live title page for This Monster Wants to Eat Me. During this update, Netflix listed the series as a 2025 anime with 13 episodes, Japanese original audio, Japanese subtitles, and cast including Reina Ueda, Yui Ishikawa, and Fairouz Ai.
This is a Japan-specific confirmation. If you open Netflix from another country and the title does not appear, that does not mean the Netflix Japan listing is wrong — it just means the rights are different in your region.
3. U-NEXT — Japan Streaming Option
U-NEXT has an official Japanese title page for 私を喰べたい、ひとでなし. The page lists the series as a 2025 unlimited-viewing title and includes episode descriptions, cast, director Yūsuke Suzuki, chief director Naoyuki Kuzuya, Studio Lings, and other staff details.
If you are in Japan and already use U-NEXT, this is one of the cleanest local options to check.
4. Prime Video / Crunchyroll Amazon Channel
Prime Video and Amazon pages surfaced for This Monster Wants to Eat Me — Season 1 with the matching synopsis. In the U.S., this appears to be tied to Crunchyroll/Amazon channel availability rather than a separate free Prime Video stream.
Translation: do not assume it is included with a basic Prime subscription. Open the Prime Video page in your region and check whether it requires a Crunchyroll channel subscription, purchase, or another provider connection.
5. Apple TV App — Useful Provider Listing, Not Apple TV+
Apple TV has official pages for This Monster Wants to Eat Me in the U.S. and Canada. The U.S. page lists Season 1, a 2025 release, and 23-minute episodes with the same Hinako/Shiori synopsis.
Important caveat: this does not make the show an Apple TV+ original. Treat Apple TV as a discovery/provider page that may point to the service carrying the anime in your country.
6. Ani-One Asia YouTube — Regional Legal Option
Ani-One Asia surfaced an official playlist for This Monster Wants to Eat Me / 對我垂涎欲滴的非人少女, with Japanese dub and English subtitles. This is useful for viewers in select Asian territories where Ani-One has rights.
YouTube region locks are common, so if the playlist is hidden or episodes are unavailable, the license may not cover your country.
7. BiliBili TV — Regional Streaming Option
BiliBili TV also surfaced a full-season page titled [ENG SUB] This Monster Wants to Eat Me – Episode 01-13. BiliBili TV availability is typically regional, especially in Southeast Asia, so check whether the page plays normally from your location.
8. Roku Listing — Check, But Confirm Playback
Roku has an official listing for This Monster Wants to Eat Me, and search results described it as available through Crunchyroll or The Roku Channel. Because Roku listings can route through different providers, treat this as a useful U.S. check rather than a guaranteed global free stream.
Is This Monster Wants to Eat Me on HIDIVE, Hulu, Disney+, Tubi, or Netflix Outside Japan?
During this update, I did not find confirmed legal full-episode pages for HIDIVE, Hulu, Disney+, Max, Peacock, Paramount+, Tubi, Pluto TV, Plex, Muse Asia, iQIYI, Google TV/YouTube Movies, Fandango at Home/Vudu, or the Microsoft Store.
Netflix is confirmed here only for Japan. If Netflix adds the anime in more countries later, this guide should be updated.
Sub/Dub and Content Notes
Netflix Japan listed Japanese original audio and Japanese subtitles during this check. Ani-One’s playlist surfaced with Japanese dub and English subtitles. Crunchyroll/Prime/Apple/Roku language options may vary by region and account, so confirm inside the player before assuming English subtitles or an English dub are available.
Content-wise, expect a moody supernatural drama with girls-love themes, yōkai/monster danger, grief, and self-destructive thoughts. It is not an adult-title recommendation; it is a regular TV anime with dark subject matter.
Traveling or Region-Locked?
This Monster Wants to Eat Me is confirmed on Crunchyroll in the United States and on Netflix/U-NEXT in Japan. If you already pay for one of those services and the anime disappears while you are traveling, NordVPN may help you securely access your usual account from a relevant server such as the U.S. or Japan. Use a VPN for legitimate travel access, not piracy or bypassing payment/licensing rules.
