I'd say the clothing options in the artbook are pretty solid way of seeing which gender each of the elves is.

I think its the combination of her distinctiveness as everyone has mentioned and then an ability to imbue a kind of "real life" aesthetic into the characters. Its the little touches! Most fantasies don't spend the time on that poo poo, it really elevates the work. The different expression, reactions, small movements, actions, etc the characters take outside of the typical fantasy fighting are great. To elaborate I think many fantasy manga or anime can have characters do a funny reaction or something but its usually not grounded in the setting. Its blatantly comedic or anachronistic. Dungeon Meshi characters act within their universe in very human ways which are well captured by the drawing style. Just thinking of the 9 panel of marcille doing her hair, great poo poo.

It is very funny as someone who can maybe draw 1 kind of eyeball to see the page with like 3 dozen different eye sets. Show off!

has there been any word on when it's going back up? hasn't it been like 3 or 4 weeks since it went down?

You can follow updates on their twitter and discord. They are building the new website from scratch and are gonna be doing security testing on it soon.

MangaDex v5's MVP API open beta is now live to the public for testing. The API is currently in a read-only state while the frontend is unfinished. Creating/editing/deleting functionalities will be re-enabled in the future. The point of this public beta is to allow people to familiarize themselves with the API and let us know if there's anything we've missed that needs to be fixed, changed, or added in.

API Documentation: here

What's in the API:

Users and Follows/Custom Lists
Manga and Chapter feeds
Groups and Authors
Searching for Manga
And more
(You can read chapters through the API right now, Tachiyomi soonTM...)
(covers are missing)
We understand that some may be frustrated by the lack of complete functionality at this point in time, but it is important to make sure that we build for the future and not for gratification in the present. While we are monitoring the public beta for ways to improve the API and our infrastructure, work will proceed with the front end. We will not be giving an estimated release date at this time, only to say that all front end developers are singularly devoted to reading their manga as quickly as possible!

Such a fun turn of events. In this situation we know that Laios isnt actually the dungeon master so it makes all the people the party has affected coming to his aid even sweeter. And all the stories involving eating weird monsters was chefs kiss.

Sword controlling magic seems really strong and practical

it makes me think of some theoretical gag manga about some wizard who decided to master "sword controlling magic" which was thought to be one of the weakest and turns out you can just kill everyone before they summon whatever dumb magic they thought was better than hurling a sword into something at great speed

oh no, don't cure marcille's wife :'(

chapters like these really makes me want to see what ryoko kui would do with a series that goes full on horror (while keeping her trademark comedy)

I'm so torn, on one hand it looks like DM is gonna wrap up soonish - but I'm so greedy I just want more from this world, I want more dungeons more meshi more of all the characters and races. This is why IPs become huge, because if it ends and thats all I get of this crew I would lose my mind!! Even knowing that having Kui do something else would probably be really awesome too.

One of her obvious strengths is characterization, especially via art with her capability of making distinct faces. I think that strength really lends itself well to strong emotional payoff like tragedy, but really anything with strong emotion fits. You can really "feel" what her characters are going through via the art.

She's so dang good!!

I was re-reading Dungeon Meshi the other day, as one does, and it came to mind that all of Kui's character work on the bonus materials owns so loving hard. Obviously the "character as each race" series is great, but she also did the "super lofi character designs emphasizing what makes each character pop" stuff which was great as well. Figuring out which elves were dudes through that work was fun.
