i want to study Laios like a bug

[Nicolo]

4.5 stars.

Delicious in Dungeon, also known as Dungeon Meshi, is a manga series that follows a group of adventurers as they explore a dungeon and cook the monsters they encounter.

The party continues to explore the dungeon and gather ingredients for their meals. Meanwhile, the elves' plans are progressing, and the party learns more about their intentions.

Overall, Delicious in Dungeon is a unique and entertaining manga series that combines dungeon-crawling adventure with cooking. The characters are well-developed, and the world-building is excellent. The art style is also fantastic, and the monsters look both terrifying and delicious. I highly recommend this series to anyone who enjoys fantasy, comedy, and cooking.

Don't think I didn't notice that Kabru and Mithrun were touching each other CONSTANTLY in this volume ... (I ship it).

[Maia]

Laios and company realize that their encounter with changling mushroom rings had more consequences than they'd realized- its the body swap episode! This visual humor is contrasted against increasing dangers from both above and below, as nastier monsters and political machinations begin to close in on our heroic adventuring party. I'm now over halfway through this series and almost feel like I should start reading it more slowly to savor it, but I'll probably just keep devouring it instead.

[Rod Brown]

Despite being fine, this seems like a very skippable volume in an otherwise good series. No real progress occurs.

I do like Captain Mithrun, a new character who has no sense of direction and a lack depth perception due to having only one good eye and yet has still very effectively weaponized her otherwise feeble teleportation skills.

[Jack]

Gosh, this is such a grand series. Makes me want to drop everything and go live a self-sufficient life in the woods

[Sol]

God, this volume is PACKED! There is so much plot in each and every one of the chapters that I felt like I was reading it super slowly (which is great, it's important to slow down and pay attention to all the details)!

I really felt the unity of Laios' crew in this volume. I feel like as they all carry on their adventure, they're all starting to really understand and open up to one another slowly and surely. I feel like the changeling circle arc(s) symbolically show how much they're really getting to know one another's perspectives.

The scene that really stood out to me with their group was when Chilchuck made a rude offhand remark about Marcille being prideful because she's an elf, and her responding basically "Do you think you can just say whatever you want to me?" because she was mad at him. That's so real when you have a jokey-rude rapport with someone but it goes too far and it's like... do you even respect me!? But Chilchuck is such a good guy, he made it up to her quickly and was able to be vulnerable in the end. And Marcille even helped him understand the nuances of his relationship with his wife. I really treasure the dynamic that those two have, it was really precious!! Overall, lots of progress made in all the interpersonal relationships in the party, I felt like. (And as always, I love Laios and his monster autism special interest and him saying he wished he had been born as a four-legged beast. He is real for that.)

In terms of Kabru's arc in this volume, I really feel for him and I also feel proud of him. It really sucks how, in the face of money and prestige, people's lives mean very little to the greedy and rich. You see it all the time in real life -- the top 1% do not give even a fraction of a shit about the Earth or the people living in it as long as they're hoarding their wealth. The fact that Kabru takes matters into his own hands, finally turning over the leaf of "This dungeon needs to belong to the people, it needs to be claimed by the adventurers who put in the proper work for it"... such a strong message!! Even though Kabru has seemed somewhat shady in the past, it's clear he has good intentions.

I'm also really curious about Sissel's relationship with Delgal now, too. I have been, but some interesting emotions really shine through in what we see of Sissel here, that makes me wonder what sort of story they're dealing with, and what emotions they're harboring. I'm really looking forward to finding out!

Things are tense on the first floor of the dungeon. The elfs want more than their fair share, and have not very ethical means to obtain. Falin is among us (yay!) and so is the lunatic magician (oh no). We learn more about Chilchuck’s past.

[Caroline]

Yess what a fun volume. Fighting mushrooms, seeing the elves in action and we also learn a bunch more about our main cast's backstories. Love love love this charming and fun series.

[Percy]

4.5/5 ⭐
i'm claiming all these twinks, evil or otherwise

[alex]

3,5 stars

[Kendra]

How is this getting weirder.
At this point I'm reading the volumes so far apart that I've mostly lost the nuances of the plot but it is still so enjoyable??

[Libbies_library]

Part of my 2025 year of friend recs

4.5✨

This volume was hilarious 😆

That being said.....turning Iztsoumi into a dog was CRIMINAL behaviour 😂

[Maija]

Was this the best volume in the series? No, but I'm admitting to myself how much I love this series and these characters, how much fun I have every time I pick up a volume, and how interested I am in the dungeon lore. So, five stars it is. (I'm also going to go back and give Vol. 6, my favourite volume so far, 5 stars.)

I'm just so happy that there's a high fantasy comedy manga of such great quality around!

[bailey elizabeth smith]

5⭐️

Amazing volume!! I was so excited to have new material past the anime finally!

[༄˖°.ೃ࿔*:]

The people yearn for szn two😔

[marcia]

Vol. 3 ★★★☆☆
Vol. 4 ★★★★☆
Vol. 5 ★★★☆☆
Vol. 6 ★★★★☆
Vol. 7 ★★★☆☆

A whole volume showing off just how cool Mithrun is. As a Mithrun enjoyer, I approve of this message.

★★★☆☆
Still filler, but lots of fun regardless. There are some truly fantastic action sequences in this volume: super dynamic but still really easy to read. I was indifferent to Captain Mithrun when he was first introduced but he's growing on me. Also enjoyed the bits of Chilchuck's backstory we got.

[Valeria]

I didn't like this Volume as much. There wasn't much progress and less awesome or funny scenes than in other Volumes.

Additional thoughts:
- The change to different races was so funny. Like Chilchuck as a whole as Tall-Man. And Senshi as an elf.
- The second change was even funnier.
- Manneken Pis was a nice touch.
- Don't really like the whole Canaries plot but damn Captain Mithrun is powerful.
- I'm worried about Kabru. That slimy bastard grew on me. And I'm low-key shipping him and the Captain. They would be such a power couple.
- Chilchuck being the father of three girls who are all full grown and nobody knowing about it till now is just so on brand for him. I laughed a lot.

[Suma]

Kabru just went from an A tier character straight to S tier. What a chad.

[Sandra]

Leider hat der ganze Part mit den Elfen mir mega die Stimmung in dem Band verdorben :/ ich hasse die. Ich will einfach meine Bebis im Dungeon rumrödeln sehen und Monster fressen *sigh*. Die Story mit dem irren Magier find ihc noch gut, aber holy shit, die elfen können gerne alle verrecken. Wenn ich so ein Drama sehen will, dann kann ich auch jeden anderen Fantasymanga lesen. Ich hoffe echt, dass der Part jetzt nicht überhand nimmt, das wäre so schade, weil die Story so gut angefangen hat.

Einziger Rettungspunkt von dem band ist Senshi als Halbling. ER IST SO SÜSS.

[Thelma]

I like how the manga manages to smoothly switch between the two storylines. Also : this volume is absolutely hilarious, the jokes are perfectly executed and I love how the storyis used to delve deeper into certain characters' pasts. It's a good way to keep the story fresh now that the 'eating monsters' thing has become usual

[Rei Ayanami]

Still not convinced by the intrigue.
But the biology, cooking, and comedy take enough space to satisfy me. And the action bits are surprisingly decent.

[Himanshu Karmacharya]

I picked this series up randomly, and I never expected that I would enjoy it so much. Although this particular volume doesn't do much regarding the continuation of the story, it still is a fine addition to the series.

[Jay]

teehee, i'm going a bit fast through this manga, but i can't help it.

i want to keep reading this forever please thank you
it's also making me really want to play dnd or maybe i'm just getting hungry...

[Robert]

An improvement over the last two volumes, but still not as good as the early installments.

[Leslie]

This is by far my favorite volume. The effects of the Changlings? More back stories? The new elves. The giant walking mushrooms? All brilliant. Made me laugh out loud several times.

[Hannah]

need more chilchuck backstory

[Reggie]

Very funny volume with changeling mushrooms and giant walking mushrooms. Story is developing in an interesting direction as well…

[Δανάη Ιμπραχήμ]

This volume was really fun.
