Dungeon Meshi (also known as "Delicious In Dungeon" in the west) is a Japanese mango about a group of murderhobos in a typical fantasy setting with an atypical but innovative idea: if your party is stuck underground and low on food, why not eat all those monsters you've been fighting? The story explores one such party learning dungeon crawler cuisine and bumbling their way through their quests.
Characters
- Laius - The human fighter of the group. He's always had a secret obsession with trying to discover what monsters taste like, thus he's the one to suggest that they try cooking monsters when they run out of money to buy food.
- Marcille - The elven mage specializing in battle magic and the Dark Arts. She's the most reluctant to try eating monsters, even after several of the dishes they try turn out quite well. Laius and Senshi's obsessions disturb her.
- Senshi - A dwarf who joins the group after discovering their interest in monster cuisine. He's been cooking monsters for 10 years and knows all the best preparations and nutritional value of each monster they come across. He turned his mithril family heirloom weapons into a pair of woks and carries most of the cooking equipment.
- Chilchack - The group's halfling rogue. He's mostly there to pick locks and make money. Also, he hates mimics; as a thief, he's the one who usually gets killed by them.
- Farlyn - Laius' younger sister. As a child she showed a natural affinity for communicating with and banishing restless spirits. Eventually she went to magic school and met Farlyn, and specialized in healing and purification magic. After Laius' crew defeated the Red Dragon, she was resurrected with Marcille's necromancy.
Plot
After getting his sister devoured by a dragon and losing all their supplies in a failed dungeon raid, Laius and his party are determined to save his sister before she gets digested. Completely broke and having to resort to eating monsters as food, they meet a dwarf who will introduce them to the world of dungeon meshi - delicious cuisines made from ingredients such as the flesh of giant bats, walking mushroom, or even screaming mandrakes.
