there's an extra strip later on with kabru giving kuro lessons in common, it's cute (heterosexual linguini is a strong recommend for anyone who likes the worldbuilding in dunmeshi btw)

At this point during my original read through I was real worried that Kabru's team was going to end up clashing with and having a vendetta against Laios & co and it was giving me stress. What ended up happening was much better.

Pretty much everybody in this story acts rationally according to their motivations and perceived best interests. One of my favorite bits, now that I've gone back and read the middle after missing a lot of it in serialization, is how the Canaries honestly hardly ever do anything sketchy. In fact, they're frequently reasonable and willing to negotiate, and they hardly ever threaten to do any of the things that elves are infamous for doing. They just have really bad attitudes and work for a government with a bad reputation, and as a result nobody thinks its in their best interests for the elves to get what they want.

When Laios offers a plate of harpy omelette to Kabru and Kabru's instinctive response is 'I need to kill him' but he takes the food anyway because he's a people pleaser. And later on there's a panel where he's still chewing because he can't bring himself to swallow the food. Love the poor boy.

I do think they got lucky with the Canaries a bit since Kabru was there.SyntheticPolygon posted:Kabru is maybe the best character Its Marcille, duh!!! But Kabru is the second best though. Its legitimately rare for a guy in a story to rank so highly for me when there is a solid cast of ladies in something. But he just serves as such a great foil to Laois while having all his own lil weird funny eccentricities. Also like Marcille its fun to watch him suffer but he is also kinda the worst so he deserves it more too lol.

Henker posted:One of my favorite smaller details is that Pattadol looks constantly annoyed at everyone and everything. If one of your main spokespeople is a moody, high-strung teenager (Pattadol is the elf equivalent of like 17) and the rest are literal criminals, yeah no one is going to want to help you. On the flip side, if you were a teenager assigned to serving under one of the most accomplished captains who is now suffering from demon-induced depression/hyperfixation and your coworker is guilty of murder and also wants to kill you someday (And also you're by far the youngest person in the squad that you're nominally in charge of) You'd be pretty high strung too

I really hope they do some quality over-the-top Trigger animation with the Contact Fairies... and that they do justice to this bit where Pattadol squishes the poor fairy into a staff...

Is Dungeon Meshi merch particularly common in Tokyo? I'll be there for a few days in early May during their Golden Week, hoping to score a Senshi plushie if possible. One of the illustrated Dungeon Meshi guides would also be welcome. Not sure where to look, though, since it'll be my first time in Japan. e: ^^^ Speaking of the fairies, I didn't quite get how they functioned during my first read-through. Are they like the Den Den Snails in One Piece where they look like the speaker?

He's a man of pure heart who has done nothing but help anyone he's met. Then part way through the story you start seeing other pov characters and it turns out every single person who has met him outside his party has read his awkward social skills and love for grilling as a sign of something deeply evil and has vowed to kill him on sight.

Plus they deliberately hide what's going on with dungeons and demons from everyone because they correctly conclude that people are idiots. I love how in the middle Kabru and the Canaries are like 'we absolutely must kill Laius before he can smash the big AZ-5 button and destroy the world' and they're not unjustified in that decision.

I feel a bit sympathetic to Kabru's early behavior on re-reading. Not that he isn't being a dick, but he's lost his entire hometown; is working in a rather brutal and backstabbing business; and is in the middle of a political power struggle where all parties clearly have a deeper agenda and are hiding very important things. He's not wrong to be mistrustful of people's motives. And on top of that, it seems like he's being gassed up by his party ("oh it'll be so great when you're in charge") and is probably feeling all the pressures of a Special Boy with a Tragic Past and a Special Destiny. I kind of feel like his change of heart later in the series is at least in part because he wasn't really into it; like, he maybe felt like he had to be the one to do something because everything sucks and everyone else was Worse, but he didn't necessarily want it for his own ambition -- when poo poo hit the fan, losing that pressure was probably a bit of a secret relief despite how bad things were getting.

Snooze Cruise posted:These are the reactions I been waiting to see. He gets introduced as a running gag jobber, then we are led to see him as a scheming antagonist and maybe a self-righteous sociopath, then we find out that he's quite justified and is an actually rational and fair judge of character who lives up to his talk, then he is pretty much the secondary protagonist for the political side of the story. As I said, he is like a microcosm of how this story and cast keep evolving from simple beginnings and gaining more and more layers. Sander fucked around with this message at 19:50 on Apr 5, 2024 |

There's at least one epilogue comic that depicts Marcille and Pattadol having tea parties together. Although that specific meeting was a bit more awkward because Marcille was complaining about the Elven kingdom sending over magic familiars to spy on the new king

Yeah I mean even his read on the siblings is mostly right, though its less indifference and more just a lack of actual social skills lol. But Kabru is correct that would be a pretty big flaw for like an eventual king to have, which he ends up covering for anyway when he becomes his advisor.

It's just he's got bigger fish to fry than the personal issues, and she's too tsundere to get anywhere in a timely manner.
