Kodansha USA released the manga in English under the name The Food Diary of Miss Maid, and it released the manga’s fourth volume in February 2023. Kodansha USA describes the manga’s story below:

“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 savoury 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!”
