I like the easy going pace of this book. It's essentially a slice of life in a dungeon and it gives you recipes for mimic soup or kelpie soap. The story is funny and engaging. The illustrations bring the best out of the story as well.

[Shannon · Rating 4 out of 5]

We've now moved past dungeon food being the main focus and we're getting more into the meat🍖 of the story with new characters and new info being introduced. The plot still revolves around food but we get more backstory to go with it. They're finding new food and meeting new "people" (are orcs people? is butter a carb?) and they're not just doing it because they're starving and low on supplies.

So many things in this series are just so unique and I love that. One of the highlights for me were the golems. Senshi uses them as walking gardens, and I think that's hilarious. So innovative lol. I'm curious about the living paintings though, it seems there's a story there. Saddest part goes to the kelpie. Why you gotta try to eat people, Anne?

This volume wasn't as formulaic as the first so I have no problems continuing on.

Bonus points to the artist, being able to make be hungry for DRAWN food. Mah goodness.
(Greatly enjoying the creativity of this)

Meal plan from the volume (Spoilers)
-Simmered cabbage and turnip salad (using earth golems as walking gardens, love the creativity)
-Hanging out with orks and teaching them to make bread.
-Frying treasure bugs into jab, crackers and skewers
-Using ghosts to make sorbet (use multicultural holy water)
-palace cuisine (from a haunted magic painting that MIGHT be a checkoff's gun time-portal)
-Boiled mimic (they're a variety of crab in this universe).

This series is becoming an instant favourite. Mix Dungeons and Dragons with Top Chef and you get this. Awesome and very, very funny

[Swapnil Deshpande · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.5 stars rounded to 4.

The plot didn't progress a lot in this one but we see a bit of character backstory and development. We see new monsters in the dungeons like golems, ghosts and kelpie. As with the previous volume, the illustrations of food are really good.



We see a Senshi harvest plants and vegetables in unique way at the back of the golems. Our group discovers that they can make holy water from the ingredients they have been cooking and they can use that holy water to ward of ghosts in a unique way. Also because, ghosts can pass through things and cause surrounding temperature to drop, our group uses that to turn the holy water into sorbet.

We get hints about the backstory of the castle through living paintings as well as some hints about rivalry between orcs and elves. We see that Senshi doesn't like using magic for trivial stuff like lighting fire or walking on water but finally gets some development (and an amazing looking beard).

By the end of the volume the group reaches 4f of the dungeon.



Overall, had fun. Will start reading Vol. 3 shortly.

I am LOVING this manga series! This volume was such an excellent mix of character development, cooking segments and dungeon diving/fantasy fun... it's adorable and strangely wholesome. The characters are excellent. Senshi is INCREDIBLE and I would pretty much lay down my life for him because he is so passionate about cooking and being just precious in general.

The really excellent thing about this volume is that it starts to introduce the larger plot. We get glimpses of the characters backstories and some hints at the bigger, darker happenings in the dungeon as they get further into it. I'm really enjoying this series and remain keen to keep reading!

[Maia · Rating 5 out of 5]

I devoured this book as quickly as book one. Our adventure party gets a bit deeper into the dungeon and begin to have more meaningful interactions with the beings who dwell there, including an Orc family just trying to get by, golems which grow vegetables on their backs, and living paintings which might reveal more of the buried castle's history.

[Francesca · Rating 4 out of 5]

Un’esplosione di originalità, dai personaggi adorabili, ai mostri che incontrano, dalle ricette all’ambientazione del labirinto. Se mano a mano che si va avanti si aggiungono anche elementi più “dark” allora sarò completamente soddisfatta 👁️👅👁️

[Matthew Ward · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.75 stars. This volume really breaks away from the exact structure from the first volume, which is what I was hoping it would do. The characters really play off of each other well in this volume and their interactions do make this one a fun series to read. Glad I continued with the second volume on this one!

[vin .ᐟ (hiatus)]

a fun continuation to the series! :D

[Robert · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great second installment that continues the fun cooking conceit while expanding the backstory of the party without detracting from either component of the series.

[Percy · Rating 4 out of 5]

4.5/5 ⭐️

Marcille is more creative with her hairstyles while in a dungeon than I am in the comfort of my house
also the translation is so peak (not the freaking monetuszki guys, i'm cryingg)

[achilles · Rating 5 out of 5]

i am continuously amused by the queer autistic white boy and how far he will go to eat strange gourmet stuff

[Aleksandra · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was lovely and fun! I wish the story would move a little faster (that poor girl eaten by the dragon will die long before they come to her rescue if things go like that), but I am enjoying the ride, their interpersonal relations, their shenenigans and cute scenes together.

[Daniel Clausen · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best manga that has ever been written about man-eating plant tart.

[Sergsab · Rating 5 out of 5]

La imaginación de Ryoko Kui es desbordante. Cómo es capaz de hilar tan fino sobre ecología, alimentación y tropos fantásticos sin despeinarse.

Aquí se nos habla de huertos urbanos, de nuestro papel dentro de la naturaleza, de la capacidad para sobreponernos y de la importancia de los autocuidados. Sé que parece exagerado, pero no lo es.

Incluso en este tomo dos ya se nota una evolución en el apartado gráfico. La composición de la página es maravillosa y las ilustraciones que acompañan a cada capítulo son pequeñas obras de arte.

De verdad, recomiendo mucho este manga.

(Pushing everyone aside) THISTLE IS HERE !!!

[Maeve · Rating 4 out of 5]

This Volume 2 broke the mold that Vol 1 followed as it introduced the characters. Vol 2 had many creative twists and unexpected turns, along with some interesting foreshadowing and the-past-of-the-dungeon exploration. I appreciated how the author didn't skim past "the level with little food," and stayed with the setting to create unexpected recipes for non-food creations. Thought-provoking mysteries, grudging allies, traitorous friends, and cute humor.

[Valeria · Rating 4 out of 5]

Less eating monsters and more getting to know the characters and the world. But still a lot of fun.

[Krystal · Rating 3 out of 5]

Another fun issue, and nice to learn a little bit more about each of the characters.

It was cool to see them all kinda having their moments both in the sun and in the shade. I liked the teamwork but also the misadventures that always left them with a tasty meal XD

Very cute but also just a great sense of fun and adventure.

[Courtney · Rating 5 out of 5]

I find this really creative. I especially like the treasure insects (and the call back to 'why didn't you tell us sooner?' when later (in a minicomic) it's revealed that the insect themselves would be worth a lot to sell to a collector -- I don't believe that morsel was in the anime-- and of course the first time when they realize they've dropped the bag of treasure ) and mimics. I find Marcille to be more interesting when I see her doing magic and having an interest -- and skill-- in soap making. I really like Chilchuck and he gets a little more focus in this volume.

The golems, orcs, and the living pictures are interesting concepts.

Not really interested in the other party yet, but It seems like it was told a little differently in the anime, or maybe just paced differently.

[Nasty_reads · Rating 4 out of 5]

THESE LIL GUYS ARE GROWING ON ME SM!!!!! Arguably I liked this one even more!! (Maybe bc.. it was new to me and not the episodes I had already seen) but I looove it so much. There are so many cool details that made me giggle a lot that arent in the Anime!! Super fun BUT IM SCARED WHEN IT WILL STOP BEING FUN AND HAVE SOME HORRIBLE TURN LIKE ALL GOOD MANGAS

(Also RIP Anne I loved a flesh eating horse)

[Jasmine · Rating 5 out of 5]

This series is super fun, I am forever the magic-explosion-first-talk-later elf girl, and that making of "holy water" (WHICH GOT TURNED INTO ICE CREAM VIA GHOSTS THIS SERIES IS AMAZING) is so amazingly D&D it made me laugh out loud.

[Metmaedl · Rating 4 out of 5]

Genial! Alkoholische Gärung ist Nekromantie!! Ich habe es immer gewusst....

Band 2 begeistert wieder mit extrem witzigen Ideen, allerdings schlägt er - teils unterschwellig, teils auch eher offensichtlich - auch ernstere Töne an.

[Joel · Rating 5 out of 5]

I LOVE IT

[Cee · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm absolutely LOVING this series so far. It really feels like it might get darker. I'm so interested to see where it will go. Will we learn more about the prince who became king in the paintings?

[Himanshu Karmacharya · Rating 4 out of 5]

I love it when a series embraces its weirdness and makes it a part of its element. Dungeon Meshi has an innocent but wacky humor, which brings out the fire and life in it.

[Fernanda · Rating 4 out of 5]

chilchuk vs mímico foi tudo pra mim

[Jesus Flores · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sigue la misma estructuro que el anterior.
Aprendemos de donde obtiene vegetales el enano
Conocemos a los orcos
Y Chilchuk tiene su capítulo donde brilla

4 stars
