[Nicolo · Rating 4 out of 5]

The manga series, Delicious in Dungeon (also known as Dungeon Meshi), is an adventurous tale that follows a group of explorers as they venture into a dungeon. Along the way, they encounter various monsters, which they cook and consume. The series is a unique blend of fantasy, comedy, and cooking genres, making it an entertaining read for fans of all ages and interests.

The story takes a dark turn as the adventurers are led to Sissel’s threshold by the winged lion imprisoned within it. The group is faced with heavy-duty cleaning as Sissel’s cottage is piled with clutter, hindering both their search for the lion and their meal prep.

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.

You know shit's getting serious when the character who has been the series main villain up until now is partially devoured by a different, worse villain. Exciting changes coming to this dungeon under it's new lord and master!

Laois out-autisming Sissel was so fucking cool! Get DUNKED you little twerp!!! Also him trusting Sissel and trying to get through to him…. He does care about people, just not in the ways society labels ;-;

The lion eating Sissel’s desires was fucking brutal. Creepy as hell.

Laois does remember Kabru’s name when he actually needs to… and Kabru fucking blinking at him in morse code that something’s wrong and Laois GETS THAT but assumes that it’s monsters…… alas. Chil and Laois panicking and trying to lie to the Canaries was camp.

Mithrun v Marcille was very fun… also camp that they realize she Might Be Someone Kinda Important. And the way that Mithrun looks at Marcille right before they throw down for real… he looks so earnest when he asks if she realizes how futile it all is. And it 100% could be a play, but I do think it’s genuine emotion.

The art of the lion getting unsealed was AMAZING!

And the reveal that Falin teleported everyone out the first time… we love to see it. She a little deranged (affectionate).


Kabru slamming Mithrun up against the wall and being like “if you can’t get out of this, you’re not up for demon hunting :/“ was GAY AS HELL and AWESOME


And speaking of gay as hell… the ending with Kabru’s dramatic confession and Laois promising that they’ll get real food one day… ugh. Wolf-person is there too! Insane.

Lots of action as one major storyline is wrapped up with an immediate pivot into a new challenge for our adventurers. With all the hullabaloo there was little time for humor or an interesting recipe, which is disappointing.

★★★☆☆
The action scenes are loads of fun. We didn't really get to see what Mithrun is capable of until now. I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm actually rooting for the elves? At this point, I just want them to stop the Winged Lion before things get any worse.

is this a safe space to mention that I vibe with Kabru x Mithrun more than Kabru x Laios

[Caroline · Rating 3 out of 5]

Very tense and interesting climax to the story. Enjoying it a lot but think I preferred the series in its early days when it was more light-hearted and episodic.

[Himanshu Karmacharya · Rating 4 out of 5]

With all the carnage and chaos going on in this issue, I think the author got very little time to register the amount of humor this series is known for. Nonetheless, this volume is still very much "Dungeon Meshi" at its core.

Olala, mais ce tome quel bazar !!
Pfiou, qu'est-ce qu'il s'est passé, je ne suis pas sûre d'avoir tout suivi, ni de vraiment comprendre les motivations de Kabrew ou du capitaine des Canaries.
Heureusement nos compagnons sont égaux à eux-mêmes et il reste un peu de légèreté par moment

Great story movement, low on food moments

ESTOY MUY ESTRESADA, NO PUEDO CREER QUE KABRU TUVO COMO 5 OPORTUNIDADES PARA DECIRLE LA VERDAD A LAIOS, SOBRE EL LEÓN ALADO, Y NO DIJO NADA RAZONABLE.

THIS VOLUME WAS SO PEAK!

5⭐️

The real villain makes themselves known, and nobody is scared enough for my taste 😭 RUNNNNN

[Matty Dub · Rating 5 out of 5]

This volume is bittersweet, the art and story are as good as ever but it’s the first volume that feels like we’re nearing the end. At 12 or 13 volumes, this series will have a great length for future rereads and rereads it’ll get, it’s been one of the best ongoings in recent years.

The places this manga is going are insane, this comic just keeps proving again and again why it’s SO incredibly special

[Mac · Rating 4 out of 5]

No yea just go ahead and trust the biblically accurate angel Lion with goat eyes that’ll end well

Dragons coming for dinner

When the Lunatic Magician unleashes their power by summoning dragons to handle our shrunk party (thankfully they are not full sized either) all hell breaks loose as only Laios finds himself standing alone against the master of the dungeon and her pets. Thankfully there is a still a trick up their sleeves though Laios might not realize it yet as the Canaries and Kabru catch up to the party at last who may be the saviors or new enemies of the party just s the Lunatic Magician may not be completely defeated either.

[Danielle Booey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not gonna lie, kinda forgot where we were in the plot at this point, but it was still delightful. The bits with Sissel, Laios, and the dragons especially made me cackle. Lots of competing interests in this volume. The dungeon investigators, our heroes, Kabru, the winged lion, sissel…all competing for the power of the dungeon either to use it or destroy it. I want to say we are in the end game, but with manga it can be hard to tell.

[Jesus Flores · Rating 4 out of 5]

Entre que Laious está terminando de enfrentarse a Sisel (el mago "malo"), y que llegan los elfos canarias en mal momento pues esto termina en un desbarajuste.
Y todavía el chico moreno, tratando de "detener" a Laious con las razones más tontas cuando Laious está preocupado en ayudar a Marcille y ver qué pasa con su hermana.

Se ve que el caos se va a poner bueno al acercarse el final

3.5 stars

[Giorgia Pascali · Rating 5 out of 5]

good for you, kabru, good for you!! no, seriamente: non mi aspettavo una scena così gay tra lui e laios. aggiungo solo che marcille non ha mai fatto niente di male in vita sua e dovrebbero lasciarle fare quello che vuole >:(

Part of my 2025 year of friend recs

I - this series is insane in all the best ways and I could never do it justice by describing my love for it.

I'm gonna keep this spoiler free. Just read it.
