Marsilla is without a doubt the second best thing about this manga. The best best is obviously Fluffy-Senshi, of course. :kimchi:

Here's a four page special of Dungeon Meshi in which the party explores the most dangerous dungeon of all.

Perfect. :allears:

Incidentally, has anyone thought of starting a D&D game based on this setting? I'm totally in love with the dungeon in this, and think it'd be a really fun adventure. There'd have to be special rules to account for edible monsters, though.

That latest chapter of Dungeon Meshi was so fantastic. I hope it gets a US release soon, I totally wanna buy it!

Nina-san's Magic Life is a manga about an apprentice going to study with a magical witch in the woods, and it is quite magical.

In which we go outside the dungeon to the outer world, and learn some LORE. Yay!

Kiki (or was it Kaka?) -- the female twin -- is kinda nice! I've always liked these sort of calm, narrow-eyed characters. :3:

I'm trying to find a manga where a character selects all the worst traits and skills and somehow manages to make it as a viable adventurer. I think I clicked on a link here or in some other thread, but I totally can't remember the title.

I read that, I liked it.

It had a whole thread at the time, too. It's pretty great, I think the author had spent some time in America as an exchange student or something and was writing it partially for the benefit of other would-be Japanese exchange students or people learning English. The guy really understood what high school in America is like!

Anyone who's ever played D&D is having extremely grim visions of rolling and failing lots of d20 ability checks except for that SINGLE ONE that the fighter rolled.

Good for you!

Incidentally, are there any other manga out there that are as clearly D&D-based as Dungeon Meshi. I heard that "Record of the Lodoss War" was basically a retelling of someone's D&D campaign, should I check that out if I liked Dungeon Meshi?

Haven't gotten that far but sounds unsurprising, life has been too easy for this protagonist

Something about LN writing in general (their attitude and manner of speaking) is sort of obnoxious. It must be a Japanese thing.

Well, I mean, they're mostly written by nerds as a nerd power fantasy, so yeah. Did you ever read (or read about) Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality? It's basically the same kind of smug fanfiction as most LNs.

Goodnight, Demon Castle

It's about an adorable princess who was abducted by some demon king and she can't get a good night's rest in her cell! Being apparently extremely handy with handycrafts, she sneaks around gathering things like materials for a pillow and cloth for a nice bed sheet so she can sleep peacefully!

i love so much that they didn't skip past the aftermath. nope, gotta show the butchering and corpse retrieval in detail.

Oh no!! That's horrible. Here I was completely expecting them to cut open the stomach and out pops Farlyn, slightly wet, but still okay. I kept reading page after page, expecting this!! Aw man. :smith:

Chapter 27 of Dungeon Meshi is out. Chock full of skeleton related info.

All wizards know forbidden magics, they will just rarely tell you about them. I hope Farlyn is ok with all this, both if the Resurrection spell worked correctly and if she wants to be brought back. Her soul was accepting of her death in Liaus's dream.

Having read Fullmetal Alchemist I was all prepared for human transmogrification alchemy to backfire and do something utterly, utterly horrifying. PHEW! What a relief that seems to have gone alright and not summoned Cthulhu or something. :unsmith: But something seems a little off about Farlyn, I hope everything will be okay. :ohdear:

She recognized her brother and Chilchak without prompting, so hopefully there's enough of Farlyn left in there that she won't start trying to eat people.

Well that's just good news! Now she's respecced as a Half-Dragonborn cleric instead of a pure Human cleric! She'll be able to use a breath weapon as a once per encounter power! :v:

Yen Press has a history of being pretty literalistic in its translations, at least from the YP books I've read. I'm not surprised that they chose to render the title as-is, and should probably expect rather clunky dialogue. They also have the annoying habit of putting translations for sound effects beside the sound effects in the panels themselves, which I've always disliked because they tend to overlap more art, makes the panels look busier and are generally not helpful or useful.

I can't say I'm not disappointed with this plot twist, but that's mostly because I really really liked Farlyn's character in the last chapter and was looking forward to seeing more!!

I'm getting a little bit worried about Marcille. She's had these kind of dark circles under her eyes ever since she started using Ancient/Forbidden Magic. I hope she'll be okay. :ohdear: Also, Senshi giving Chilchack "the Talk" was the best darn thing. Haha!

It's good to see Senshi get a little characterization. He's only ever been "that weird cook guy they met and started traveling with for no good reason" before.

Plus, his eyes. His eyes.

Well, ostensibly, they started traveling with him because he'd been to the lower levels before and could find edible food for them so they could save on equipment costs. As they traveled, he became their party member, and their friend. :3:

I'm enjoying seeing the entire extended cast interacting, and there's some great character acting and page layouts in this issue. This is consistently one of the best produced and creative mangas I've seen in years.

Wh-what has she become??! A sphinx?! She looks like a failed creation of human transmutation alchemy. Oh Farlyn... :ohdear:

This keeps getting better. I was expecting it to end neatly when they revived Farlyn, but man, it keeps ramping up in this lowkey way that I just find so addictive and exciting!
