Delicious in Dungeon, or Dungeon Meshi, as it was originally titled, has taken the anime community by storm in 2024, launching the fairly short series into the spotlight at record speed. Winning a handful of awards, Ryōko Kui’s series combines some of the most popular themes in anime and manga, expertly delivering a lovable comedy anime series to fans everywhere.
Those who haven’t yet seen the show should stop what they’re doing right now and go watch it. It is one of the funniest anime series ever, focusing on an adventuring party who decides to skip resupplying and just eat dungeon monsters to survive. A lighthearted fantasy story, the series has surprisingly deep plot arcs and character backgrounds, plus there is quite a bit of diversity throughout the series.
Season 2 is already in production for streaming on Netflix, but for those who can’t wait to continue watching, it may be time to start collecting the manga. Yen Press is ready for fans to pick up the volumes, too, especially now that they have announced a brand-new box set of the series!
Available for pre-order today, the Delicious in Dungeon Manga Box Set comes with all 14 manga volumes, as well as an exclusive poster. The box itself looks like a very fancy cabinet, but pulling back on the attached ribbon loops, a mimic is waiting inside, printed against the inside edge of the box. The box set will be released on December 10th, 2024, but given the proximity to the holidays, it’s likely to sell out immediately.
Pre-ordering has its perks anyway, like Crunchyroll’s generous 20% discount bringing the price down from $225 to just $180. Plus, if you have a Crunchyroll membership, you get an additional discount on the store. On top of that, Crunchyroll has decent manga shipping, especially since they merged with the trusted brand Right Stuf Anime last year, so you won’t have to worry about damage during shipping outside of freak accidents.
One notable missing entry stands as a last-ditch effort for anyone in search of a gift for their Dungeon Meshi fan friends: the Delicious in Dungeon World Guide: The Adventurer’s Bible. This encyclopedic book provides in-depth descriptions of every element of the Delicious in Dungeon world. From character bios, which include things like their first deaths, to full monster guides and fantasy race data for the world, this book answers every question one could possibly have about this awesome series!
