“There are no bargains between lions and men. I will kill you and eat you raw.” – The Song of Achilles.
This is going to be more of a summation of my thoughts about the series as a whole rather than just this specific supplementary materials book and my rating will mostly reflect that. It’s easier this way, because damn, this series skyrocketed into my top five manga pretty much instantly! Seriously, it’s up there with the greats. It has everything I love about a classic fantasy, but it also surprises with every volume without straying too far from its original premise of them learning how to eat monsters so they can save money on buying food. This author definitely knew how to take a theme and run with it! It reminded me a lot of Bone by Jeff Smith, where it starts out as a silly comedy with relatively low stakes, but then before you know it, you become completely enraptured by its deep lore and fascinating characters. It’s also a perfect example of how to do a “found-family” in a fantasy setting, in that… everyone in the party is a weirdo. Nothing better than a pack of freaks who have to save the world! I can’t really collect my thoughts in a productive way, so this won’t really be a review, but rather it’ll mostly just be just me listing things that I liked. You know, “I liked this bit and I liked that bit.” Also, mild spoilers! For example, I liked how when they get to the villain’s house, their first instinct is to rearrange the bookshelf because they didn’t like how it was organized. Most relatable moment for me. I also really liked Chilchuck. Best character ever put to page, if I’m honest. This book has each character’s “stats” (like a Dungeons & Dragons party), and he has a level five in “attitude.” Meaning his biggest asset is that… he’s a hater. Just like me for real. Anyway, I loved this series, and I’m not the same person I was a week ago when I started it!
Oh, here’s my (somewhat) definitive top five manga of all time:
1.) Dragon Ball
2.) Fullmetal Alchemist
3.) Delicious in Dungeon (That’s this one!)
4.) Hunter X Hunter
5.) Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days

Picked this up as a refresher before I start Vol. 12. Delicious in Dungeon has been one of my favorite series because of its worldbuilding; this guide makes me appreciate how much effort Kui has put into this world even more. I really enjoy how funny the writing is, as well as all the new art and short comics. Honestly, I was surprised to find out the whole story takes place within weeks: I always assumed it's over the course of a couple of months.

Non-essential read to the series but still fun and cute. Some enjoyable little anecdotes and details about the characters, plus some stuff that adds to the wider world.

花了兩天追完漫畫感想還在憋但按捺不住先跑來標這本（台版快出完啊還有兩集——我要整套——
儘管買前一天看到了書居然出了DLC還有完全版的消息但還是買了（還），成功縱容一些愉快冒泡想支持又「真的好想在這個世界待久一點啊！」的跳舞小粉絲之心、並獲得了滿滿的細節大大的滿足XD
拆開前以為黑白比彩頁多沒想到是反過來的有點詫異。裏書衣的細節也太可愛了！
字有點小，有一些思考電子書配平板看起來應該會更舒適吧的時刻。

A little extra for dorks like me who want more dungeon meshi!

Fun read! Great for those who like to more deeply dive into the worlds created for their favorite stories.

Great for fans
I love world-building guides, almanacs, and encyclopedias, and I love the Delicious in the Dungeon series, so this book was a fun addition to the collection.

3.5! Some great hidden lore here, and a must-have for anyone planning to create fanwork, but not as much original art as I was expecting

Aghh I loved all the little character profiles, I want to do them for my DnD characters 🥺 There were so many good little tidbits in here too!
February 25, 2024
Not particularly enthralling or illuminating for fans of the series. A few fun extra details.

4 for 3.75~4.25, and consider the fact that I'm not actually really an attached fan of the series, that's a high rating. The overall presentation def. feels more luxurious than most guidebooks out there (paper thickness etc.) Informative. I was hoping that by reading this it'd prompt me back to picking up reading the series (like aggressively), but I'm still passive and mostly just doing so for the upcoming anime adaptation, rather than actual enthusiasm, which is quite unusual when the subject matter involves food. Owells.

A helpful and fun look behind the scenes and lore of Dungeon Meshi! Really needed the refresher on all the characters; there’s just way too many of them to keep count!
What really dampened the experience for me though was that the profiles of the characters included their BMI. Why??? For what purpose??? Why do I need to know that Senshi is ”morbidly obese”??? I guess they tried to replace the weights of the characters with these but BMI is so useless (and such an anachronusm!!!) they failed miserably.

Note to new readers: This guide was published after volume 10 of the manga, so it has spoilers up to that point. Don't read this before you have reached that point in the manga.
This is a lovely addition to the world, with extra drawings and mini comics along with character profiles & info on the monsters and the world. I especially loved reading the character profiles and the extra comics, as well as looking at the promotional artwork at the end of the book.

This is a really excellent addition to the Delicious in Dungeon canon. These sorts of bonus content books can often feel a bit like unnecessary fluff, but this book actually adds a lot of context to the world and the characters of the series. Several of the bonus comics add a lot of depth to characters that we don't get to see much in the main series - I would say that this book is absolutely a must read for people who want to get the most out of this series.

4.5 stars
The comics are great fun, and the info is not too long to get boring. Just don't expect to read it cover to cover in one sitting. I appreciated bouncing around to different sections. I enjoy knowing the characters a bit better now ^^ It definitely has spoilers, and it wouldn't be very interesting without having read most of the books anyways. As many have said, the addition of BMI is totally meaningless to me.

This is a fun little extra to the series. I like that it isn't just a recap or simply reuse material. It is full of new art and short comics that show a mix of past events and hypotheticals that round out the characters and the world. The series has done a good job of providing world building in asides, but it is nice to have a top-down view of how things stand.

Recent Reads: Delicious In Dungeon - The Adventurer's Bible. A companion to Ryoko Kui's on-going cooking/dungeoneering manga, with encyclopedic entries into characters and monsters plus a set of short vignette strips. A fun adjunct to the books, but probably for the completist.

This book will make the most sense for fans of Delicious in Dungeon. It is dense and filled with a lot of information about the various characters that the team meets on their journey. This could be a helpful resource for anyone who would like to make a Delicious in Dungeon role playing campaign.

Exactly what it says it is
You want lore? Here's all the lore. The mini-comics included are really delightful. Ryoko Kui puts more thought into the little details of her world than I have put into my own real life.

It is insanely good. Ryoko Kui’s dry humor never fails to make me laugh. Senshi’s journal by the end of the book is So Funny and wrapped the whole thing nicely. I need more side books about the lores or just funny daily conversations amongst these people because they’re all just so good and funny

What a cute lil book, with lots of fascinating tidbits to deepen an already exceptional world. While there was repetition of some material from the manga, it didn't feel like regurgitation. Loved this series so much!

March 21, 2022買紙本的確是可以感受到包含封面在內的紙質，但說到底粉絲向的東西可能不是太適合我吧，改天如果想寫同人文（那是哪天）可能可以用到。

A very detailed catalog of all things Delicious in Dungeon. So much information that it can get confusing, so use it as a reference or read it in small doses.
February 8, 2023
Such a great, in-depth look at Dungeon Meshi that goes to show what a fantastic series it is. Worldbuilding out the wazoo.
March 27, 2023
An excellent companion to what is quickly becoming my favorite manga series of all time

Me encanta la mente de Ryoko Kui <3

beautiful illustrations. it was really cool to learn about all the characters on a more personal level.

I enjoy

沒有後續劇情看
只好看設定集過過乾癮
還好是買紙本，才能看到封底的夾頁
世界觀算是架構的很完整了
不過還是比不上托爾金XD
