Dungeon Meshi is extremely good as a food manga and a fantasy manga. I don't think it's as good as Terrarium in a Drawer (the author's previous work) but it's probably in my top 10 manga ever.

You have been a most worthy adversary, but in every game, there are winners and there are losers. And as you know, in this game, losers get robotizicized!
they just exiled a mtf transexual from the village in fire punch for being untrustworthy and hiding it actually it may refer to a woman being mind controlled by a man, the main villain

It's vague so far as to what happened, yeah. If it does mean she's MTF it's definitely portraying it in a negative light though.

Golden Kamuy isn't even nominated this year (or ever again), since the rules say the title in question must have at most 8 volumes published, and GK is already at 9.

Welp, I'm lazy and didn't know my current running favorite has already won, so I'm cool with that.

are you the real pewdiepie? do you feel no shame for contrinuting nothing to the cultural advancement of humanity while maintaining such infamy? I happen to want a manga about dungeon cuisine to flourish, you simply want a dungeon.

Damnit you nailed it. Write an e-mail to the publisher immediately. Maybe make it Dungeons and Dinners just to keep it more consistent with Dungeons and Dragons.

Hot drat, this is real strong. No joke I'd say email someone about that, even if it's got no chance that deserves the shot.

I'm sure the owners of the D&D name wouldn't mind a royalty check. The official name is subtle enough for plausible deniability.

DM = Dungeon Master :) (thanks dude for getting me to finally read three chapters)

I checked out Fire Punch since i've seen the name thrown around a little and the first chapter WHAO

I should've done that sooner, i'm a sucker for revenge stories, even for bad ones, and that's one hell of a setup for one. Not averse to trashiness in that regard, so i'm fine with the relentless misery, but it's a lil over the top still.
I just hit Togata's first introduction and man, i love that dude. If the manga can keep that special brand of wackiness to mix with the super-tragedy, it might just balance out a little. Go Togata!


Not exactly award material tho

I still have a ways to go there, but i get the feeling it won't be long enough for my taste. Still on chapter 10:




Yes! YES!!


edit: The translation hosed up the line somewhat, but I know. I know that Togata's quoting Commando.
I'm in love.

edit2: She cut out the battle scene. God damnit. Ok i'll stop reaction posting now for real though

OK, this really took a weird left turn after the city arc (or slightly before it actually), but that left turn brought me Dark Souls Wolverine giving people the Biggest Middle Finger, so i'm still fine with it.

I actually think there's something weird going on with the ending there.

March seemed confused in the final pages, which is out of character for the whole 'pleasant dream as death takes hold' trope. We've seen that Fushi can feel pain from creatures out of sight, so it clearly has some kind of mind-reading or remote empathy.

I think that Fushi absorbed some part of March's soul, and is storing the people it cares about somehow. I think Fushi bootstrapped itself with a conscience.

i would like to punch the asshat who decided to blow up the magnification of the low-res scans around ch. 18, and punch them in the junk for formatting the amateurishly typefaced scanslations in what seems to be a low-compression format. like i hacked my neighbor's wep just to reach his bandwidth cap in the first week of his billing cycle. it is a travesty imposed upon a decent translation of a good manga!

e: oh, good. dude fixed it on ch. 20. i have no reason to stop reading this exciting and well-paced serialization for another 20 chapter binge, boy howdy!
