Steven Reynolds 
Fans of slice-of-life anime will want to add The Food Diary of Miss Maid (Maid-san wa Taberudake to their must-see list, as the gourmet-themed manga series has just been given an anime adaptation.
The popular manga is written and illustrated by Susumu Maeya, and follows England-based maid-in-training Suzume Tachibana, who is stuck in Japan for a year, and decides to use that time to try as much Japanese food as she possibly can.
The anime was announced on the manga’s X account with a teaser trailer, and a very cute key visual of Suzume enjoying a delicious looking anko-filled taiyaki as she sits underneath the sakura blossoms.
Voice actress Kana Ichinose (Fern in Frieren) has been cast as Suzume, and you can hear her (well, kind of) in the anime’s teaser trailer, which shows Suzume getting her new Japanese room clean enough to live in, and then heading out to start trying the country’s tasty food.
