Why does her species possess any of the biological processes need to eat what the fuck. I know it's a manga and I'm definitely going to keep reading it but that is quite the leap lmao

Oh god, he's getting her to like food....

Her body is probably highly efficient at breaking down the air molecules around her and turning it into energy, so with the sudden intake of whole foods, her body is probably gaining MASSIVE amounts of excess energy. Because of the exceeding amounts of energy her body is taking in, it's probably causing her brain to release huge amounts of dopamine as well (dopamine is the "Pleasure" chemical), so she might LITERALLY be getting addicted to food, wanting more and more of it to get more and more dopamine. By the time she's gotten used to eating food, her body would have adapted to the increase of energy, meaning that her body is most likely much less efficient at absorbing energy, both from the air, and from eating, meaning that once she starts eating food at regular intervals, she will no longer be able to sustain herself with just air, as it doesn't give her the necessary amounts of energy that she need to survive. SHE WON'T BE ABLE TO SURVIVE AT HER HOME PLANET ANYMORE. Also, once she gets used to having food regularly, the amount of dopamine that her body would create would be substantially less than the amount she had when she first started, so she'll start having WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS. FOOD IS LITERALLY A DRUG FOR HER. SHE NEEDS TO STOP.

tl;dr - Food is a drug for her species and if she starts eating food regularly, could possibly cause her to no longer be able to survive on her home planet without some form of long-term rehabilitation program. STOP HER FROM EATING.

Alot of thoughts about why her species can eat if they can get food from air. If it's safe for her to eat. Ect

I would put forward that her species has a extremely efficient digestive system, one capable of getting all possible nutritional value from random crap in the air. I'm not a scientist but I can't imagine that random crap in the air is enough to really sustain a person anyway...
So let's say she's on a knife edge. Her body balances its scant resources with a low power low weight design.

Now apply a sudden influx of resources. Her body breaks down a hugely different amount of nutrition and energy supplies. It doesn't want to waste all that goodness surely? But it must maintain equilibrium somehow. So it could try to layer up fat like we do with excess, but I think that her head tentacles (headacles?) are the mechanism. They are storing excess energy and part of that process is causing that lightshow when she eats.

But now her hind brain thinks she has sustenance nearby and preps her digestive track for more energy storage. Hence gurgles. It wants her to eat because it can store more energy in those headacles. And it now knows there's food available through her senses.

When the headacles reach a certain point they will free themselves and burst [REDACTED] original host [REDACTED] [REDACTED] unwilling mate [REDACTED][REDACTED] [REDACTED] newly hatched [REDACTED] [REDACTED] explosive propagation[REDACTED] world quarantine to be enforced by order of [REDACTED] [REDACTED] end of human life.
