Most importantly, why are they interested in the dungeon in the first place? This manga is just the perfect combination of pieces: an increasingly complex and intense plot, fun, compelling and lovable characters, and beautifully inked, detailed art perfect for a wild fantasy story. Each party member is also an incredible character, and the story keeps you wanting to know why - why is this crew interested in or at least willing to eat monsters? Why are they working so hard to save Falin when they don’t have to - some of the original party members did walk away. The dungeon itself is a fascinating setting, with its own rules and complex history. Of course, Delicious in Dungeon is so much more than recipes featuring monster meat. With no time or money to load up on provisions, they resolve to survive by eating monsters, which is a focal point of what is, partially, a cooking manga! Delicious in Dungeon is a manga about a group of veteran adventurers who have to desperately make a new journey into the dungeon to try and save their party member, Falin, who was swallowed by a red dragon. I binged it all within a couple weeks, right up through volume twelve. Kathryn, however, takes a completely different perspective on this story about exploring a fantasy world hidden in a dark basement, which I love! If you were uninterested in Things in the Basement before, the new connections Kathryn draws might make you change your mind and decide to explore this story after all.Īlenka Figa: I’m emptied out, bereft, left to starve because I’ve caught up on Delicious in Dungeon!! (Was that funny? If it wasn’t, don’t tell me.) I realized I was a couple volumes behind and, since it had been a while, decided to restart the whole series. Kathryn wraps things up with a familiar title perfect to launch us into spooky season: Things in the Basement, which you may remember Emily recommending in a previous WWACommendations. Very different from finding monsters to eat, but still on theme! Carrie also explored Civil Rights era history, while Emily’s got a rec focused on exploring nature. I inadvertently kicked this off by desperately needing to shout about my Delicious in Dungeon reread, but Masha and Carrie both followed up by recommending manga about exploring unique relationships, and finding unexpected connections. WWACommendations never relies on a theme, but this month we sort of have one - exploration.
