Ryoko Kui's Dungeon Meshi (Delicious in Dungeon) manga ended with chapter 97 in Harta's 107th issue on Friday.

Kui began serializing the gourmet fantasy manga in the Harta magazine in February 2014. Kadokawa released the 12th volume on August 10, while the 13th and 14th volumes are scheduled to be released on December 15.

Yen Press licensed the manga in English in October 2016. The 12th volume went on sale on May 23.

A television anime adaptation by Trigger is scheduled to premiere in January 2024.

Dungeon Meshi ranked first and sixth in the 2016 and 2017's Kono Manga ga Sugoi! rankings for the Male Readers division. Dungeon Meshi also ranked four times in the Manga Taishou Awards in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019.

Synopsis
After the Golden Kingdom is sunk underground by an insane magician, its king emerges, promising all of his treasure to any who defeat the magician, before crumbling to dust. Guilds are spurred on by this promise, traversing the labyrinthine dungeon in search of the magician. Laios, the leader of one such guild, encounters a dragon that wipes out his party and devours his sister Falin. Despite having lost the entirety of their supplies and belongings, Laios along with Marcille, an elven healer, and Chilchuck, a halfling thief, immediately reenter the dungeon, determined to save Falin.

Time being of the essence, Laios suggests the taboo of eating the monsters of the dungeon as a means of gathering supplies. Upon the preparation of their first meal in the dungeon, they are stopped by an onlooking dwarf named Senshi. An enthusiast of monster cooking, he helps them prepare their monster ingredients for safe consumption. After learning of Laios' circumstances, Senshi expresses his desire to cook a dragon and joins their guild, thus beginning their food-filled foray into the dungeon together. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

I loved this series. I started it when it was only about half finished and waited for the rest to come out to reread the whole thing start to finish.

I think the premise of the story is simple but lovely and I am happy to see it wrapped up in a satisfying way. I love manga like this that are good at pacing and end exactly when they feel like they should. No excessive filler, and yet good amounts of world building and breathing room. I loved it all the way through and yet, I am also happy to see it end.

I heard good things about this one

I was kind of waiting for it to end so I could read the entire thing without breaks later haha. But I don't want to sound rude - it's a really good series, I wonder what the author is going to come up next, if anything at all. At least it most likely had a complete ending instead of being left unfinished, that'd be more sad.

@Swagernator, not exactly, only if 24-26 episodes will be done.

Sep 14, 2023 9:30 PM by Memore

@RobertBobert Well, then they just gonna do instead of 500+ recipes, only like 20 recipes.

Sep 14, 2023 12:29 PM by Swagernator

@RobertBobert, if they make 24-26 episodes it is pretty possible.

Sep 14, 2023 11:10 AM by Memore

@Memore 90+ chapters in one anime?

It is sad that the manga is ending, but it feels natural, there's nothing much left to happen. I'm looking forward for anime
