The anime adapts writer Juntarō Aoki and artist Shin Moriyama’s manga. Described as a chaotic, hardcore “non-fiction” gourmet report, it follows Juntarō, a beautiful girl(?), through dangerous places worldwide.
Juntarō samples strange but alluring local dishes, aiming to reach 50,000 points of deliciousness.
The manga launched in Kadokawa’s Comic Newtype web manga magazine in 2021. Kadokawa published its first collected volume in January 2022 and its fifth in October 2024.
It placed among the top 20 manga for male readers in Takarajimasha’s 2023 Kono Manga ga Sugoi! (This Manga Is Amazing!) guidebook.
