Ryousuke Senbo, known for his work on Yo-kai Watch! and Scraggy and Mimikyu, is directing the series at EMT Squared and Magic Bus. Meanwhile, Natsuko Takahashi (Anne Shirley, Love and Lies, Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan) and Saeka Fujimoto (Alice or Alice, The Highschool Life of a Fudanshi) are overseeing the series scripts.

Kodansha USA Publishing has been releasing the digital English version of the manga, which describes the story as:

"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 savory 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!"

The Food Diary of Miss Maid (Maid-san wa Taberu Dake) manga was first released by Susumu Maeya on Kodansha's Comic Days website in December 2019. Kodansha published the manga's fourth compiled book volume in March 2022. Kodansha USA released the fourth volume digitally in February 2023.
