Emerald ni Taberaretai

A manga about the romance between a humanoid praying mantis named Emerald and Silver, her human suitor who loves her and wants her to eat him.

The cover for this series basically tells you everything you need to know. Silver loves Emerald and wishes to be consumed by her. Emerald likes Silver but doesn’t want to eat him because she’ll miss him when he’s gone. It’s about the tease of will they or won’t they. I can sense the manga artist Aimi‘s love of humanoid insects with how adorably Emerald is designed. With two volumes total, it was a short and cute story that didn’t try to be deep or fancy. I enjoyed it for what it was.
