churning namari's insides
>>290273929namari after I'm done with her
>>290273914yo opchama
>>290273914Cute party members. The quality of the shorthand versions is a hidden signifier of how much of a shit the artist gives about the manga.
>>290274347yo ho hoalso end of chapter
>>290273914Never really paid attention to this page. It's interesting how it just doesn't have a name. Makes you wonder how notorious it is and how important the dungeon is, especially now that most of the gold stripping has finished and the only people left are conquering adventures (and interestingly nothing like mandrake farming or what have you is to be seen yet, so where does that lie on a dungeon's timeline)I know later they talk about the whole thing with who has claim to the lands and such, but it's been a while so I'll just be refreshed on that when we get to it
>>290274377Muchas gracias anonimo
>>290274377Thanks for the read, OP
>>290273950put namari to bed
>>290273950>>290274157w-what did they do to her?
>>290274504nothing she wouldn't consent to
>>290274018>This island is swollen to bursting with desires.How appropriate.
>>290274377Chapters are so short
>>290274654Just like the lives of Tall-men and Half-foots (Half-feet?).
>>290273929By me
>>290274061is that some prosciutto?
>>290274018Look at those borzois.
>>290274157>>290274194Sexoooooooo
>>290274280That's fucked up
>>290274297Namari you kinky bitch
>>290274749halves-foot
>>290274115It's interesting how fired up he is, after saying the island is bursting with desires pages ago.
>>290274223>>290273982I honestly forgot how modest the fashion was above ground.After looking at the main cast you forget everyone else is all cloaks and tunics.
>>290274280hl2 charred corpse my beloved
>>290274354They are so chill>>290274377Thanks OP
>>290274504Dwarves just take teleportation REAL badly
>>290274377hantan lyë avestaina
>>290274280Crispy!
>>290274264I find it sort of funny and strange that kui wrote laios and falin as having light brown hair, but everyone just kind of willed them into being blondes.
>>290274948Honestly with how things play out later I think half his motivation here is just wanting to spite the western elves by getting their hands on a spell that they don't have.
>>290274982Well it's usually more of a sandy blonde, so it fits.
>>290274377Thanks.
>>290274377It's such a shame the anime cut this scene out, I thought it was quite an important one when it comes to conveying the danger (and that feeling of 'wrongness') of the dungeon even with resurrection magic being a fallback option.
>>290274993But that's a desire too, the desire to one up the elves.
>>290275029Yeah, the casual mention of how souls can blend together is nice too.
>>290273896and so it begins
>>290273929>Fast travelRuined
>>290274317>souls minglingmore foreshadowing
>>290274337Where cleavage
>>290274377>>290274354>>290274337>>290274317It is truly a crime that the anime didn't adapt this part. Considering how important it was.I mean, maybe not that important, since you can get the same kind of info from Marcille. But anime onlyfags were really confused as to why reviving Falin was not just an easy task to do.
>>290274377Thanks OPsetting dump today
>>290274098>the elf kingAnd we NEVER see the guy, just his wife.
>>290275138teleportation to the surface was in chapter 1
>>290274377thanks opsama
>>290273950>>290274157>they undressed Namari
>>290275259kiki has small kikis
>>290274377Thanks, anonsito.
>>290275138They used teleport in the first chaper. Also teleportation magic/scrolls are super expensive and not something just anyone can buy/use. The main group never uses one + I think there's only two others used across the whole series.
fluffy orcs...
>>290276143Eat yo meshi bitch damn! Fuck you lookin crazy for!
>>290275443I think that's just a translation issue. The line could otherwise be read as 'the land was given to US (i.e, his family ancestors, or tallmen in general) by the elven king' This land handover happened probably generations ago by tallmen terms, since the elves giving out lands was something that happened after their war with the dwarves, as they couldn't take care of all the land they won. The elven king referred to here is most likely long dead.
>>290274194>>290274354Kiki seems like a nice girl.
>>290274950Their gear must be pretty expensive too, in the first chapter Laios was thinking about selling it to fund the new expedition.
>>290276143>fluffy orcs...Laios no!
>>290276285Don't fall for her tricks, she's just a tall and brown gnome...
>>290274264>>290274297Chilchuck wasn't kidding about word getting around.
>>290274317Honestly it's kind of surprising that Kiki and Kaka didn't already know all this stuff, given that their group leader/parent is a healer. Maybe Tansu is just too confident in his own abilities to explain the true dangers? Or he's too soft on his kids and doesn't want to scare them with the true potential dangers of dying in the dungeon?
>>290274157>>290274194They're both so erotic
>>290274297Namari the tree climber
>>290274377Thanks OP
>>290274297>Namari shlick to the twin's legs
>>290276285Kiki seems exceedingly mischievous and flirty if you ask me.
>>290273929>Make a big deal that the moment people see what inside the room/open the door, the connection magic would cut off instantly>Window??????????
>>290274317Still the biggest crime of the anime to cut Namari's double date out. Important stuff in here.
>>290276143Its shame that Japanese author always portrait Orcs to be Hog-like creature, and not bunch of Hooligan Greenskin
>>290277515she definitely gets up to no good when Tansu isn't around.
>>290277572Cutting the revivification rules was a massive mistake
>>290277569Seeing into/out of the room doesn't do anything to the teleportation spell, its only if the seal on the room is broken by a window or door being opened. Ideally it would be better to pick a room without windows since one could be broken by accident, but considering how little space there is on the island, renting + sealing off a room like this for a teleportation spell is probably very expensive as-is.
>>290277689green orcs are a dime a dozen, its fun to see more piggy orcs every once in a while.
>>290274018nothing has made more more envious of a relationship more than the Tansus
>>290273950I guess this confirms that Namari indeed take payment after the job's done
>>290277967Piggy orcs are the dime a dozen variety in Japan.
>>290277689Nah, pig orcs look better
>>290277689Japanese manga please understandsame reason the ogres are oni
Did any other chapter have half their content cut when adapting, or just this one?
>>290279278There were some kabru party things cut. Iirc it's the next chapter.The anime really didn't like taking focus off laios and company.
>>290279278I think this was the only big scene cut out, the rest were mostly just snippets/background conversations that were probably just a few panels long, or a page or so.
>>290277689
>>290279278If memory serves, most episodes were 2 chapters. For this episode, they squeezed in 3 chapters, so some more stuff got cut. Personally, I'd have preferred they deviated from the manga script a bit more to make things flow better within and between episodes, but oh well.
>>290274317>You're not actually schizo, it's a ghost that got mingled up in your soul!you could make a religion out of that.
>>290279579That's just scientology.
>>290277689>HooliganThat orc boy looks a bit funny to me
>>290274018I like Tansus' dynamic. You can tell grandpa used to be a real ichikawa when he was younger.
>>290274948He's just cooking the governor up to keep the elves out. Gotta look like the big man in the room and sell him on the idea.
>>290274137>when a dungeon party gives you that monster cuisine stare
>>290274194Kiki knows exactly what she's doing. Just look at how she's teasing Namari in the bottom-right panel.
>>290276143They didn't look quite like that when we saw them some chapters ago, did they?
>>290278227>>290280427I don't get it, what is so special about this page?
>>290280754we've seen number 6 and 7, the rest is just kui flexing
>>290274137Psycholaios imagine spots never get old.
>>290281023You'll get it when you're older
>>290274018>the D word>>290274194>>290274223On reread I really could go for this story having more Kiki and Kaka>>290274377This is when these two decided to adopt Namari into the familyThanks OP>>290276143>>290277967The stripes on babby orcs are super cute
>>290273929>>290273929I like the idea that dwarves have a strong sense of direction and some kind of inner compass, like pigeons, so when they fast travel, their sense of equilibrium gets thrown out of whack, as they change locations instantly. It's small stuff like that that make the world feel alive.
>>290276143I would the sister
How did this manga avoid the foidslop trap that most fantasy manga written by women fall into. Unlike WHA or other stuff that's coming out recently, this feels like something that can be enjoyed if you have a penis and a working brain.
>>290283570Autism gives women malebrainSource: my ass
>>290283777No.But also yes.
>>290283777I wouldn't call it malebrain, because it also avoids the moidslop trap.Tismbrain is its own unique thing.
>>290274280>>290274317Others already mentioned it, but this little talk about the restrictions of revivication should have been in the anime. Spoiler for one of the upcomings chapters: All that info what can go wrong with resurrections established and heightened the tension when they finally found Falin and it also further explained the drastic measures they took to make it work.
>>290283570By going balls-deep into autistic detail>But that's what foidslop doesYes but not reallyFoidslop usually focuses on dumb shit like feelings, social status, and retarded """trivia""" like "hurr durr the bird people like LE SHINY, so quirky"While shit written for normal people has more balance, and it's worldbuilding it's less """trivia""" and more about details like "the bird people focus their arcane powers by gathering sun mana everytime they fly high, and their diet it's mostly meat, because birds can't digest fiber very well... also, they have cloacas"
>>290277967awww baby
>>290274018Did mrs floke even get a single line in the anime?
>>290274061
>>290283897I wouldn't consider most male oriented fantasy to be moidslop. My ex had the most generic foid taste ever (Levi, Gojo, serial killers, shipping Naruto/Sasuke) and she loved Mushoku Tensei, Konosuba and generic romcoms. What a foid brain can't process is a man' love for big machinery.
what kind of fantasy would slopslop be
Dungeon meshi aahhhh dungeon meshi
>>290287985Are you going to say that in every thread?Nice
>>290288321Dungeon meshi Uohhhhhh dungeon meshi
dunGOOD meshi
>>290277498
Namari really really likes long legs...
>>290277794The gnomes own that house, don't they? Setting a room or a basement aside for safe teleporting, or even just using sturdy shutters would prevent those kind of incidents.
>>290290493
>>290293191she definitely wants to see them wearing leg pouches
>>290293591It's a little bit strange how this and that page are basically the sameNamari just gets to be embarrassed about her fetish to the same people twice
>>290277689Green orcs are inherently evil an too violent to fit into any plot other than war
>>290287985eaten by someone, or something
>>290295940I doubt you could even taste it...
>>290295940She is a genuine fantasy nerd
>>290295940She really has a dogshit taste.>>290296136That's all nu-fantasy shit.
>>290275444>>290276067he forgot he wasn't on /v/ go easy on him
>>290276143My penis goes in here
>>290295940>only nice thing to say about Sera is that her clothes are cute
>>290293191>>290273950>please, have sex with my taciturn brother
>>290276285I think she's just got resting nice face from watching Yarn
>>290296398truly patricianthe most annoying dai companion by a mile
Do different races have different pubic hair grooming habits.
>>290296398Culturally, she isn't even a elf. Just pointy-eared human.
>>290277689Anon they're going back to the roots.
>>290277689Would be nice to have a manga/videogame or whatever that include both versions of orcs. And how they interact with each others.
>>290298049Gothic series kinda did that, with island orcs from G1/2 being more feral, tribal and shamanistic, and G3 doing continental orcs with a much more Warcraftish physionomy as organized, nomadic society playing conquerors. Unfortunately there was no interaction shown between the two groups.
>>290274377Danke
>>290293191It's nice that Namari's passion for arms and armor is given a bit more depth, rather than just being taken for granted as a drwarven trait.
>>290274194She's got a permanent NTR smile
>>290274297Butterface tallman waitresses got a nice rack
>>290274157>>290274194Just like in Hollywood
>>290274157h... hot
start the damn dumpy before I piss myself
>>290299321>anon pisses himself from incontinence and impatience
>>290274377namari is so best
>>290299343So senshi knew the orc chief since he was a kid? thats cool
>>290299321>senshi thought chilchuck was a tall-man orphan
>>290299366>laoisI've never heard of that flavor, is it like Umami?
>>290293191look at the tits on that dwarfi want to see how does the armor fit themi get her
>>290299343I like how he had this massive learning experience with that whole Anne fiasco and his diary entry is just "Eh, some shit happened"Is that stoicism?
>>290299489Senshi has a bit of an ego, especially when he gets proven wrong
>>290299489I think it's because it is a painful memory.
>>290299489It's called having a penis
>>290299366>when a marcillecel says something so meshiphobic you gotta hit em with that touden stare
>>290274157>>290274194SEXO
>she's just standing there...menacingly.
Chapter 23
>>290299366RIP
>>290300656OP, do you wanna dump the two Adventurer's bibles as well after the story is done?
>>290300809So what was the plan if the dragon was sleeping? Hope it rolled on its side and sneak up on the throat?
>>290300708>the bodies are still smokingSo the dragon was literally there just minutes ago. Should they really be wandering around so haphazardly?
>>290301047Unless it has elephant feet they'd hear it walking, so they're fine
>>290300968thats sunshine hour and another artbook, right?
>>290301108It's the complete version of pic related and mostly chapter 3 stuff from the Daydream Hour book.
>>290301097>>290301198you called it
end of chapter>>290301205yeah i think i just might
>>290301025I think Laios never had a real plan to begin with
>>290301025Once it's sleeping it's vulnerable so yeah, sneak up on it and hit the throat. If necessary, have Marcille blow up the neck - she'll have all the time she needs to aim and cast the spell
>>290301025Probably bury kensuke up to its hilt in its eye socket. So for reasons its probably a good thing they didn't try the dragon while it was sleeping.
>>290301285Thanks, OP
>>290299321>
>>290300656red dragon already?
>>290300984>gets touchy when someone wants to use his tools>had no qualms about using Chilchuck's lockpicks despite his protests>>290301198That's on them for not being ready. He was speaking for a while. They had plenty of time to swallow.
>>290300708Roasted dogs for today's lunch?
>>290300865What good is this wizard elf? Wizards are usually known for their crazy spell repertoire and versatility because of said repertoire!
>>290301108I get it, eating chicke- I mean, frog katsu before fighting the dragon.
>>290301163My party leader!
>>290301285Thanks.
>>290299321>That's an elf for youkek
>>290301285Thanks OPLet's ghoooooooo
>>290300676ENTER
>>290300730I like how this is as an "oh shit" sort of page
>>290301163This page sort of reminds me that I recall reading that Kui wasn't originally sure how long the manga would run so I suppose the red dragon arc may have originally been planned to be the final act. I'm not entirely sure how true that is, though
>>290300730I'm surprised she isn't more focused on the fact that, yeah, if he's up and about, then he's been digesting her the entire time, rather than slowly doing so.
>>290300865>I can jump down and grab onto the dragonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBXrCjRd-28
>>290301285Thanks for the read OPSince we're at this point, I wanted to say for the rest of the manga, it's kinda weird how dramatically everything changes after this point.Like, on paper, much of it is still very much the same, as far as goals go. Hell, it's honestly arguably better for them. They have to go deeper and win it all, sure, but now they only have to worry about other adventurers beating the dungeon, and they have a massive headstart.And yet, it feels like they're far more pressured to take things seriously, and the whole thing feels like, just a bit less wonderous and mystical. They feel way more like they're in a rush than they were when Falin was being fukken digested, and everything becomes just so much darker, relatively. Marcille's life is now on the line as well for abyssal magic. Senshi is forced to face whether he was unwittingly made a cannibal. Laios is repeatedly forced to face the fact that he is going to have to become a Dungeon Lord or a King. Chilchuk gets to experience not being a manlet and then goes back for it. It's all just a bit sterner, not to mention everything else that starts to descend on the dungeon from the outside.
>>290301285thanks opsama
>>290303700Laios' is kinda right though, they can't really afford to worry about that right now, especially after they've already come so far.
>>290281398Faurk, just explain it to me now.
>>290301934So that's how she's seen by him...
>>290300761Senshi isn't much of a fighter either
>>290301285Thanks OP
>>290301285>TO BATTLE
>>290299321>>290299343>>290299366I hadn't seen those before. That's awesome.>>290301285Ty OP
>>290301285Thanks, anonsito.
>>290305443There's also the later pages of the diary that were posted after the half-way point. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1fJ4_ytt2NDO4NIVO0aJnMeYCbkGlATt6?usp=drive_link
>>290296186Shoo shoo ESL and don't come back
>>290300676SOUBOUTEI MUST BE DESTROYED
>>290304315We see that later
>>290303987Well ultimately this is just the prologue. The main story IS the actual dungeon itself and its mystery. The rushed feeling comes about because not only do they need to beat the dungeon, they're also being pursued from behind by various groups.
>>290299321Anyone know what the character in front of 術師 is?
>>290301108カツ aka cutlet is a good luck food in Japan cause it sounds the same as 勝つ which means win.
>>290304142What? It's not like that'd hold them up or anything. I'm just saying you'd think the content of her freakout would be different
>>290306900Think its just the abbreviated/ryakuji shorthand for 魔 so it'll read as 'magic user' or something like that. The official english ver just translated it as 'magic user' too.
>>290300708Get the ketchup and relish, hotdogs are on the menu boys!
>>290303086>>290307023
>>290303001Explosions (Falin doesn't do offensive magic) and shifty black magic ritual witch shit
>>290301043>alcoholic instantly goes for a sippy before work
>>290308133Plus as far as offensive ranged magic goes, Marcille does kinda have it right to just pick something simple and effective over fancier shit, if something is vulnerable to magic, an explosion is going to kill it probably as well as anything else would. Even the more offensively skilled mages in the canaries just tend to have one attack speciality (if that's not their ONLY speciality)
>>290301198>dub made it "you're so cringe!"ban all dubbing
>>290308305What the fuck? Heartfelt thanks is cringe? Why the fuck are they like this?
>>290299321wait wait waitso it was Senshi that imagined the western comic MarcilleI was so sure that it was Laios and so was Marcille kek
>>290304215The bible has a page about which one is who's.
>>290308767Meant for >>290308700
>>290308767It's kinda sad that everyone's Laios's are all so exaggerated, even Marcille and Chil's who have known him for years.
>>290308789Thanks anon!I guess i got everything except for mixing Senshi's and Laios's vision of Marcille.Can't wait to see Chilchuck's Senshi again, too. That took me by surprise.
>>290308700LOOK AT THIS >>290308767 AND APOLOGIZE RIGHT FUCKING NOW!
>>290308700Laios actually imagined the best Marcille alt
>>290308767Laios has excellent taste
>>290309009Going by how his Marcille acted, I imagine Laios's creations were the closest to the real things personality/face-wise, it was mainly just errors in clothing that got them picked off right away. It was a nice touch as well that his version of Marcille also had a magic tome that looked reasonably passable specifically because he'd studied from it before while the others hadn't.
>>290308767For me it's:
>>290308767>Senshi always looked like that Marcille
>>290309061I can see it, they were lucky
>>290300838There's something to the storytelling I really love about this visual>>290300892>>290300919Really appreciate seeing the gears turn hereNot that there's anything wrong with goofball gastronome Laios, but seasoned adventurer Laios is pretty cool too>>290301285Thanks OP>>290303987Reminder that Chilchuck is a lanklet
>>290301108>>290307023
>>290301073Feels like that's a huge waste of oil but ok
>>290301139Nice Laios leader moment.
>>290301139> we won't have to eat monsters for much longeris she forgetting that they'd have to go all the way back up to the surface on foot even if they had rescued Falin and nothing else happened?It's not like Falin would've been in a state to use magic so easily (normally), and as it is I wouldn't trust her to do another mass teleportation spell again anyway considering how dangerous they are. She was lucky she didn't zip everyone into the middle of a boulder or something the first time.
>>290309429I can only assume Falin's spell is more like DQ's Evac opposed to Mithrun's teleporting
>>290305195>Time for a bit o' the rough and tumble.
>>290308031
>>290308508Modern generations are too irony poisoned and can't process legitimacy if it isn't immediately undercut by sarcasm.
>>290301285Note how Marcille is casting protective spells using the book. Probably because she doesn't remember them off hand.
>>290310270Marcille is more of a offensive type of spellcaster, while Falin was a defensive one.
>>290309599It's the same magic, Mithrun just tends to do teleport shorter distances because its safer, especially with his directional problems. He did teleport that giant mushroom like 2 floors down in the dungeon though. Falin is uncertified and teleported the team much farther than would normally be safe. Like I said, she got extremely lucky that she didn't just kill everyone. (though obviously its probably a retroactive change on Kui's part to explain why dungeon delvers can't ALL just zip back to the surface if they have a mage on the team)
>>290310480>picthe fuck happened here?
>>290310507he telefragged her
>>290310549Yeah but why? what triggered it?
>>290310568Her being where he teleported. Teleporters have right-of-way.
>>290310568the character in question uses teleportation magic, he often teleports short distances, and in this case, teleported into the spot exactly where the girl was after the other one gave her that little shove. Anything in the space that he occupies after teleporting is going to be teleported to where he was just standing.
>>290310775Huh, I haven't read this one.
>>290276654Honestly it looks like Tansu is exploiting the ignorance of these young tall men.
>>290300865>when you have to live off of mage armor and maybe barkskin and protection from evilGrim.
>>290274337For the first time Kiki dropped her stupid smile
>>290300676I never understand the ceiling part of these "dungeons". But anyway they are all just copies of Blame! megastructure
>>290311285What don't you understand? Its just the ceiling of a castle. Also its not like Blame invented complex megastructure art.
>>290310775>teleported into the spot exactly where the girl was after the other one gave her that little shove.so he just happened to teleport to that spot? alright
>>290299321>Food prices have inflated harshly.>I'm worriedI feel you, Senshi.
>>290310775how is there any dungeon meshi thign I haven't seen before
>>290299489his diary is not for emotion
>>290299321You think Senshi ever treated his diary like a Book of Grudges?
>>290311367yes, he teleports short distances like that sometimes
>>290297837DnD isn't the root of orcs.
>>290299343>senshi thought chilchuck was a Charles Dickens style orphan forced to work by his mastershehe
>>290311285There's literally nothing in common with the megastructure other than being organized in floors. Kinda. That's despite the megastructure also being named the cyber dungeon.
>>290312725Well, considering that when he was 13 he was already doing chores in the mines + when he was only 7 years older than Chilchuck is now, he was out risking his life investigating a dungeon, it's not surprising that he may have considered underage labour something fairly normal.
>>290311285The lame and probably correct answer is magic is keeping such a large cavity from collapsingDungeons do collapse when their masters are defeated in this world
>>290300761
I do love how the dragon is this huge roadblock that feels almost like a final boss. That's how dragons ought to be. I really hate it when dragons are just fodder to show how cool the protagonist is.
>>290312046I ain't trying to touch Mithrun while he be flash stepping
>>290303566Considering how early Thistle was set up, she pivoted pretty quickly.
>>290301163Is this the page where Marcille looks the most like her dad?
>>290313981I think its this one, his side profile looks a ton like her, especially his smile
>>290300892Laios's faith in things working out in the moment without elaborate plans seems kind of anti-autistic to me
>>290301011wizardry reference
>>290314161Being autistic doesn't mean you plan out every facet of every little thing. Sometimes you just need enough to get a little peace of mind.
>>29031419840 year old autists understand this, 24 year old ones don't
>>290312668I know. But in terms from "classical" to modern day, Tolkien and DnD 1e set the image of orcs. And especially Japan, they like using porcs, from hentai to fantasy.
>>290314221Adventuring ages you quick
Once again this thread feeds into the "if you have any social problems and have a hobby you are on the spectrum" fallacy Almost as bad as the "a girl has a relationship with a girl? Obviously a lesbian" fags
>>290314161Autists more consistently care about just sticking to the decided course of action, regardless of what it is. Sometimes, they do decide to just improvise or wing it, and then trying to push for a plan on top of that bothers them as much as when people deviate from an elaborate plan with improvisation.
>>290314161Autists aren't necessarily good planners.
Please describe Marcille's farts
>>290315071>Excess mana is expelled as flatulence>Marcille ate a lot of mana eating that Undine>Excessive consumption of mana causes intoxication in races with low compatibility with mana, for the sake of argument, most TallmenQED: Huffing Marcille's farts will get you high
>>290312847
>>290314161For starters, Laios is not autistic
>>290315261He's by far the most autistic guy in the show.
>>290314161The word "autism" lost all meaning on the internet.Laios shows signs of functioning autism to a very big degree. Laios-autists are upset about that because they use that word to insult each other, and their hero shall not be insulted.Contrary, Marcille is shown to be much more socially adapted and smart.
>>290315261Get the hell out of here, Kui.
dungeon meshi but every recipe is either monster chicken nuggets or monster degreased pizza (laios doesn't eat the crust)
>>290315261I was saying it as evidence that he's not the exact kind of mentally ill sterotype that amerifats want him to be
>>290315565Autist is to social awareness what retard is to intellect, it has been that way for a whileIt's just it's not politically correct to make fun of retards as much as it is autists so it doesn't get as much pushback
https://x.com/nkknsan/status/2090803829617123639
>>290301011I love that Kui incorporated drawing a dungeon map into the chapter.
>>290308700>>290308767laio's shapeshifter marcille has the same hairstyle (well, lack of hairstyle) as succubus marcille.
>>290316169Cute mother of Laios children.
>>290300656>>290300676>>290301229I like how chapter by chapter, Kui also starts improving and flexing as an artist. It's qute apparent when compared to the first chapters. Background art, creature design, character art and their expressiveness, it all improves bit by bit as the manga goes on.
>>290276143kui somehow sold me the whole porc ideaalso top second from the right is imoen
>>290296186>That's all nu-fantasy shit.lmao please tell me what that is, explicitly.
>>290316563yeahcaptain leed is amethyst
>>290308801>him for yearsHasn't it been less than a year since Marcille met him? Also we didn't interact enough with her Laios to see much of it, but it didn't look that bad. Just huge and less reliable than the real thing.
>>290299343Just noticed that Zon's sister is also on the family tree. RIP their siblings. I'm glad that the supplementary material also gets posted, as long as it's at the proper time. I feel the supplementary material adds so much to the characters and serves to make the world seem even more alive. It intensifies this feeling that the story doesn't just revolves around the main party, but that other characters have their own things going on while Laios and crew do their thing.
>>290301043https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDt4j_dDFQ0
huh. I could have swore there was a bit more between Tance's party and the Red Dragon chapters. I know Kabru's group shows up at some point
>>290318020We cut to Kabru's party pretty soon after Falin gets chimera'd. You might be thinking of that.
>>290306161Cute drawing ngl
>>290315261He's a weirdo and has social issues, not really autism
>>290318336yeah, my memories of this sequence are super hazy.I also thought the basilisk chapter was before the red dragon
>>290319681Yeah, all the encounters in the town happen after the dragon, while they're trying to find their way back up to regroup.
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I think Falin has way more sex appeal than Marcille.everytime Fallin is on the screen the heart in my dick goes doki doki
>>290320883Kot mogs them all anyway.
>>290321234She's a bit too skinny, but not in a good way
>>290321692She's lithe, not anorexic. But to each their own.
>>290321827She's still cute and would own and care
>>290320883Marcille should try short hair
live, damn you!
>>290323571sorry man. it's the calm before the storm
>>290317018>>290299343were these the official translations of these pages?Translating Zon's sister as Rido instead of Leed feels like either an oversight, error, or fan translation.
>>290324125Fan translations used slightly different names before the official transliterations came out. Hence why Falin is written as Farlyn in >>290322765
>>290324166that's what I mean. Basically I was wondering if those scans were fan translations or official translations with an error (like dm has kind of a few)
>>290324213If you see them in threes like this, they're a fan translation, I remember them. Official ones would be smaller and either individual or spaced differently since they're taken from the adventurer's bible.
>>290324166Will the netflix subs say Thistle or Sissel?
>>290324453thistle. both subs and dubs
>>290324166Any time I read "Farlyn" I read it in the same accent as that guy in TW3 who says "Geralt of Rivier"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpvVNaJmojU&t=405s
>>290322765Took me 3 big minutes to notice her hair
I NEED MY MESHI NOW
>>290325566dinner will be ready soon sweety
I enjoyed her artstyle so much I ended up just stealing it and now everyone on the internet is like 'oh looks like dungeon meshi' whenever I post my work anywhereand that's excellent to me
>>290325726That's swell, anon....that sounds ironic but I'm not trying to be, honest.
>>290324453he's already shown up in the anime, bro. We got way further into the manga than you're thinking
I'm so hungry
We must hold...
>>290316796Marcille joined them 2 years ago.
>>290315261It kinda sucks that a guy just can't be nerdy and odd without a mental disorder being tacked onto him.
OP, would you make a sandwich?
>>290329305I'm not generally one who ascribes to the view that Laios is canon autisitc or anything, but he's pretty beyond just being a nerd or 'a bit odd'
>>290329545I honestly do wonder what exactly Kui had in mind when writing Laios, and especially Laios's and Shuro's relationship. Laios being very excitedness about Shuro's foreignness and their general dynamic feels like it comes from a place other than just having dudes in your fantasy story.
>>290329627You'd be surprised how often a writer just wants to write a weird outcast without picturing a specific disorder when writing the character. In fact, most people don't think about autists outside of seeing spergs on the internet obsess over Sonic or something.
>>290329545You should really spoil stuff we haven't gotten to yet, nigger.
>>290330116I mean a lot of writers also write from personal experience.
>>290329545Some autists will have contributed to otaku culture but that doesn't mean the whole is autistic. He's based on the platonic ideal of an otaku, driven up a few notches where necessary for character.
WHERE THE FUCK IS OP
>>290329627I see Laios as the sort of RPG character controlled by a player who knows every aspect of the game he's playing and who can not only figure out the optimal solutions to problems but also will implement them without hesitation or concern for how bizarre his tactics look. I don't know if that was Kui's intent, but I like to imagine that his personality was from imagining that sort of player and reverse engineering what the resulting character would look like to other people.
>>290330450The dragon got him...
>>290330451I don't really know if that's a proper read considering that Laios is shown to be lacking knowledge/info many times across the series + making plans that don't pan out. He's pretty decent at coming up with stuff on the fly, but he just as often has to rely on the knowledge of others in the group when he's lacking information or skills in certain subjects of the dungeon.
>>290308700Kui told us which shapeshifter came from whom.It's a seriously underrated intelligence feat on Laios's part that he could tell the difference between Marcille and his own mental image of Marcille.
>>290329627A fighter with decent INT and WIS but dumped CHA. Specialized in monsters knowledge, no social skill whatsoever. Kui is minmaxing a dungeon delver dude, social interactions be damned.
>>290330450op got absoluterly drunk and missed the normal time oopschopater 24!!!!!
>>290329545Autistic no, I think he was just raised very isolated where he couldn't develop any communication skills. He struggled when he left home, not really fitting in anywhere. Falin is sort of similar, in her own way, but she did manage to get into a mage school for a while.
>>290331061> he was just raised very isolatednot really, even when he was a little toddler he was socially odd, being somewhat distant/emotionless with people but chatty with animals.
>>290331167laios fumbled the pot twice now, embarassing.
>>290331217Huh, was marcille still not wearing her pants here because of the frog blood getting on them?
>>290331167>>290331182Wait, how did Senshi lose his pot?
>>290331242I think he had to drop his too. Dwarves are resistant to heat but not immune, and dragons fire directly on the metal was I guess too hot even for him.
>>290331271Marcille's protection spell stopped Chilchuck from getting brained there.
>>290331309MOTHERFUCKER
>>290331119The clicking is a great detail. Sounded really cool in the anime.>>290331147>>290331167This is why you need gloves, Laios.
>>290331309fucking coward sword
>>290331340> laios will remember chil swearing at him in different languages
>>290331384rip axe
>>290331398>a +3 legendary knife
endo f chatperyter
>>290331340Chil is a skill monkey and the face?
>>290331398If only there was runite metal in this world
>>290331431Laios enraged the monster. Thanks OP.
>>290331464the dragon is packing a dragon dagger in his tummy, they just need to cut it out
>>290331061tbf laios remained a social outcast LONG after leaving home and trying to integrate into larger society.
>>290331061> she did manage to get into a mage school for a while.Falin's dad got her into mage school, and she canonically skipped class a ton and had no friends until she met Marcille, and even then, she went and dropped out anyway.
>>290331431Dead, show is over
>>290331431Thanks, anonsito.
>>290274194>>290274223Threesome when?
>>290331182As always, this is all Namari's fault.
>>290331217Legs
>>290331340I like the implication that hobbit language is filthier. I wonder how nasty they can get.
>>290331993Its actually not, they just misremembered what she said. She only mentioned that the material was capable of stopping claws/fangs and being strong enough to damage their bones in return. Nothing about dragon fire or heat resistance.
>>290330643>It's a seriously underrated intelligence feat on Laios's part that he could tell the difference between Marcille and his own mental image of Marcille.same reason he knew succ marcille was wrong, you suppose?
>>290332135It doesn't matter if you know the succubus is wrong, it still affects you the same if the form is correct. Like Izu was frozen after seeing her mother even though she inwardly knew it wasn't actually her, at least until her cat part kicked in and attacked, and how Chilchuck still knew the hot succubus ladies on him were still bad, enough to at least exclaim when they were actually on him.It was the scylla part/the offer to make him a monster that really charmed him.
>>290331182What Namari actually said, btw >>290220479It can stop a dragon's claws and shatter their bones, nothing about the fire.
>>290331431Looks like everything is going according to plan. Both for the party and on OP's end.
>>290332354>according to planThat was just sad to look at. Only reason they’re still alive is because the dragon decided to not flatten them immediately with a 60 kmph claw/foot/tail because you know they could have.
>>290275443On that noteIt's also interesting he's so sure the elves are after immortality spells, and not just trying to enforce the Dungeon Non-Proliferation Treaty. A big sign of how the Elves', and Dwarves', secretiveness about it has fucked them anyway, as the people presume they're simply trying to obtain power for themselves rather than prevent the spread of it from fucking things up.
>>290298671Isn't that a subtle bit of world building? There's more to her there, and it's truly her own desires, but because it makes her match the stereotype of a dwarf, people don't dig into it much. Except, we do see bits of Kaka and Kiki learning more about her. But they're all more ancillary characters, so there's not much focus.
>>290300676I've always loved this sequence, and some of the other bits like it. It really feels like a DM describing the area to a party.
>>290300919>>290300950Speaking of a DM describing an area, this is also peak PC plans. Everyone trying to figure out how to approach the fight, working out a somewhat logical but actually kind of insane plan.
>>290296398It's also very funny "the very popular Astarion" is drawn in a tiny corner and pretty much just a sketchy trace of his main key art.
>>290329627Kui saying something like "I don't think he's that abnormal, he's a lot like me" was probably the funniest part.But yes, I don't doubt she had a specific disorder in mind when writing him. He also obviously gets more elaborate over time in that regard too. His talking about eating monsters is treated like a big revelation in the first chapter, and that's not exactly retconned, but it's hard to square how much it shocks them then with what he know he's always been like now.
>>290332655I was under the impression that gnomes were in on it too, just, yknow, higher up peoples, not random travelling scholars like Tansu. Also he's just kind of a big elf racist so its not shocking that he thinks the worst of the elves and that they only want to take 'forbidden' ancient magics away from others purely for their own benefit.
>>290331182This is a point where the official translation and scanlation have very obviously different philosophies:The official one goes for something more concise and frantic, no doubt trying to capture the tone of them running for their lives and half remembering things. Whereas the scanlation wants to capture the exact misunderstanding being shown here.
>>290331384The shaft was wood? And he was spitroasting with that?Shocking that it's lasted as long as it presumably did
>>290332354>>290332534Good old PC Plans. Never fail.
>>290332904gnomes are definitely in on it as we see much, much later. The queen has just as much a direct line to them as she does to the dwarven leadership
Just finished binging the anime since I started watching it around the same time these daily reading threads began, and i'm craving moreIs the entire manga translated officially? Any other material that's been translated?
>>290331309Kensuke you piece of fucking shit.I ate your family and this is how you repay me?
>>290333245Yes, I own them.Yes, the bibles are translated too, though I only one a small translated one and have the Complete Version in Japanese only.
>>290333245Yes, the whole manga is officially translated, there's also the official translations of the daydream hour compilation (a collection of mostly dungeon meshi art studies + extra comics) and the adventurers bible (guidebook for the series world, with extra info about characters, monsters, races, cultures, fashion, history, magic, etc, as well as more extra comics) There's other stuff like some of her blog comics + some japan only extra comic releases that havent (and probably won't) be officially translated, though there's fan translations for most of them https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rmmDPC4blFzH_oLAtaBDppsyMepE8Jsj?usp=drive_linkThere's also the official cookbook, which only released recently, but will probably get translated officially sooner or later.
>>290333416Anywhere I should try looking for physical copies? Been meaning to expand my manga shelf
>>290332807Well, we can expect good taste from her in such a manner.
>>290333568Amazon. The first three hits on Amazon are a complete manga set, the daydream hour thing and the complete adventurers bible.
>>290329510Nooh
>>290331061Falin seems like the best at social skills of the two, but may be because she grew up with Marcille
>>290331046>war on terror
>>290331136Great page
>>290331199Cute elf
>>290331309Fuck Kensuke
>>290331384Senshi is going to use THAT....
>>290334049She's also generally just more optimistic and accepting of others than Laios was. Even back in the past when she was being ostracized for her magic in the village, she enjoyed spending time with her mother (who was trying to perform exorcisms on her) and understood after a bit that her father was trying to protect her/enable her to pick her own future by sending her away, despite the fact that he didn't tell her that (and she kept in contact with both of them which Laios did not)
>>290331431Thanks OP
>>290334180Falin has emotional intelligence, as the females like to say, and her quirkiness doesn't stand out negatively because cute cute CUTE.Laius as a girl would've been peak otakubait waifu and Shuro would've had a brain melty trying to decide whom to go for between whimsy soft airhead northerner and direct nosenseofdistance northerner.
>>290334180Women... are... strong....
>>290331061he's just like me
>>290332807It's like leaving someone 5 cents in the will.
>>290300676Ah, there he is. That motherfucker. >>290311285Look we need to suspend our disbelief or we'll be way more limited in terms of environments for fantasy stories.
>>290334069elves did 9/11
>>290334617Cooking oil can't melt mortar
>>290331325kek chilchuck here>"I can't fucking believe you"
>>290334617wrong, that was the bat
>>290334698Nice, someone else frequenting both threads
>>290334698>wanna become the king of the dungeon?
>>290331309This is Kensuke's revenge for killing his family.
>>290331340>The letters are mostly circles and straight lines>Sometimes the circles get little dots, or they fuse with each otherInteresting choiceI'm no expert of linguistics or anything, but I can't help thinking that Chil's language probably has a lot of weird graphemes and accents, kinda like most nordic languages (like the "ae" thingy, or those vocals with that "umlaut" shit on them)I probably should watch that episode again because I can't remember that well how they adapted it
>>290335152Shut up Ponzo
>>290335152They didn't really show it in the anime, just had the edges of the word bubbles and Chil saying a bunch of random nonsense noises at him.
>>290332866>Kui saying something like "I don't think he's that abnormal, he's a lot like me" was probably the funniest part.We might hear about Kui getting a diagnosis in a few years I guess.
>>290335343japan isn't really big on mental health stuff. At least, not publicly. Not like Kui shares much of anything about herself anyways.
>>290335368Pretty sure only the west has these insane views about mental health, anything less than the ideal behavior gets treated as a -tism and subject in question gets pumped full of behavior altering drugs. I know you guys make memes about saying the wrong thing to your shrink will get you put in a straightjacket, but its probably not too far off from the truth.
>>290335588You sure sound confident about our mental health systems while implying you're not even from the west.
>>290335588> anything less than the ideal behavior gets treated as a -tism and subject in question gets pumped full of behavior altering drugsthat's actually kind of the problem in japan and many asian countries. A lot of psychiatrists there will pretty heavily prioritize medication after very quick visits, while talk-therapy really isn't as common (or at least, isn't as common in peoples insurance, so they can't afford it) I've genuinely seen a fair few stories of western people living in japan who were kind of shocked at how 'revolving door'-esque the mental health services are there.
>>290331119>red dragons work like giant biological lightersNeat.
>>290331239Feeling the breeze gives her a small buff to her magic.
>>290332906I don't have a strong preference either way in this case, but I really love having multiple translations to compare. I feel like I can understand the text better after seeing different versions.
Dungeon Meshi has poor antagonists. The winged lion ruined it since Laios only manages to kill it by the end of the series. The lack of bossfights or more relevant major antagonists makes it so boring.
>>290333763Amazon sucks dick, I bought the boxset and it came scuffed to shit.
>>290336684I didn't dislike the mad mage too much, but I do agree that the winged lion sucks.
>>290336684Dungeon Meshi is power fantasy wank in disguise.
>>290331340>>290331357Generally speaking, when concerning one's physical position in relation to a large predator, being underneath it is THE WORST OPTION. True, it avoided the fire in this instance, but no predator would just stand there thrashing around.
>>290336887Generally speaking, most predators aren't remotely as large or cumbersome as a red dragon. It's not like a moose or a horse where it'll be able to swiftly kick you to death, it's too slow for that (especially when keeping in mind its been actively starving for probably a long while now)
>>290336684That's a shame. Hope you find something more suited for your taste elsewhere.
>>290336684>slop pic>slop opinionA story doesn't require an antagonist, retard. But DM has one at all times anyway. Dragon -> Thistle -> Demon.
>>290331431Thanks OP>>290334218>because cute cute CUTE.True!
>>290338382>But DM has one at all times anyway. Dragon -> Thistle -> Demon.You're illiterate. His point wasn't that it doesn't have an antagonist at all times but that it doesn't have enough of them to keep it interesting. I agree with him, DM gets really stale. >slop pic>slop opinionIronic since DM is precisely the kind of pozzed slop you'd get if you asked an AI to spit out a comic based on the preferences of typical bluesky users.
>>290336684Yeah. The designs are super generic and almost entirely based around animals too.
>He's backRope yourself
>>290335343>We might hear about Kui getting a diagnosis in a few years I guess.For autism? It takes an autist to fill a series with like Dungeon Meshi with so many autistic characters.
>>290332080But it's funnier to blame Namari.
>>290340852yeah true
>>290336751This. The series ends with Laios, someone with severe autism, beating the winged Lion.(A magical beast with supposedly infinite power.) And then he becomes the king of the golden country. It's just so contrived and absurd.
Marcille loves dancing
>>290340684>Ironic since DM is precisely the kind of pozzed slop you'd get if you asked an AI to spit out a comic based on the preferences of typical bluesky users.Bad attempt at shitposting.
>>290341066She forces unnecessary diversity into her designs which makes them ugly. Her work also has more black characters than the average japanese animation.
>>290341041I don't believe for one fucking second that Marcille is able to stand on pointe.
>>290341066>no argumentConcession accepted.
>>290341172>>290341213Getting desperate.
>>290341311Case in point. You have no argument. You've lost which is why you keep deflecting.
>>290341311He's right about the designs.
>>290331087I'm surprised I haven't seen a gif of Laios slapping Senshi's ass while he's throwing it back, because of this scene
>>290341041Autistic dance.
>>290331119>>290331321>>290336402I swear that, conceptionally, this is relatively common for biologically-explained fantasy dragons, but this is the only time I can think of where the author makes a point for the clicking to be audible and something the dragon has to fuddle with
>>290331325>>290331340And on the other hand, while I love that the manga shows that 99%, Laios isn't an idiot savant that puts faith in monsters or anything like that, there is that 1% of the time where he has greater hubris than even Senshi with the Kelpie
I think Senshi and Usagi would get along well.
>>290342171Usagi must be really autistic.
>>290342224>t. Momonga
>>290336698Worked for me. Try getting lucky lmao.
>>290332021>hobbitOi, you can't say that word here. This is a sfw board.
>schizo gets unbanned>immediately rushes back to avatarfag and try to shit on everything some moreAt this point, he gets more of my pity than my ire. That's some genuine mental illness.
