I sometimes wonder about the Japanese.

How did they even get from Dungeon Food to Delicious in Dungeon? Although Delicious Dungeon would have been an interesting name and make a weird sort sense, instead we are given Delicious in Dungeon which just sounds like bad English.

At top of the first picture, Delicious in Dungeon is written in English above the creator's name.

With this, I guess we don't have to worry about changing the name if this gets licensed since it is already there.

Now Laios must tackle the dungeon again, and with only one month to save Farin before she is digested.



Is the poor Flame dragon suffering from some kind of disease? Because one month is way too long, she should be digested in a few hours ar most, not weeks! I wonder if the get desperate enough to try to eat the undead ^^;

mangamuscle, manga logic really doesn't apply here. This premise looks like it would be ideal for a future anime. If a licensor picked it up here, that have me buying it/reading a simulpub.

It's artwork is very simple, but the premise has promise. I don't see it lasting very long, though.

Even if they rescue her before the month is over, she'd already be dead! Rule of 3s of Survival: 3 minutes without air - 3 hours without shelter - 3 days without water - 3 weeks without food.

Yes, would they be desperate enough to eat a dead Farin for survival? Laughing

And who'd eat a slime?! Slime is snot!

Yeah I realise that, which is what I was questioning. Because, 1. it is poor English, and 2. it isn't even a translation of the Japanese title. (It translates literally as Dungeon Food, hence my questioning of how the possibly got from that to Delicious in Dungeon.)

As for the actual manga, sounds like fun!

To me, it looks like the kind of eyes that an AoT character would have after seeing their friend/family member killed by a Titan.

Man these types of comics keep on coming. So is there a recipe for "grilled" Kobolds? I really want to read this.

They live in a world of magic. The idea is that they recover her so they can revive her. They explain that the dragon digests food slowly and is the reason it takes such long naps.

The English title was apparently assigned by the author or his editor since it isn't licensed yet. No surprise that it doesn't really make sense in English.

The same people who would eat a raw oyster?? In any case, the dried version looks like those fruit rollups kids like.
