A quick rundown of this product’s key features:

When young adventurer Laios and his company are attacked and soundly thrashed by a dragon deep in a dungeon, the party loses all its money and provisions…and a member! They’re eager to go back and save her, but there is just one problem: If they set out with no food or coin to speak of, they’re sure to starve on the way! But Laios comes up with a brilliant idea: “Let’s eat the monsters!” Slimes, basilisks, and even dragons…none are safe from the appetites of these dungeon-crawling gourmands!

Title: A Perfect Blend of Fantasy and Flavor
Review: An absolute treat for both manga enthusiasts and food lovers alike. The unique concept of combining a classic fantasy dungeon crawl with mouth-watering culinary adventures is executed brilliantly. Ryoko Kui’s storytelling is as imaginative as it is engaging, with each chapter offering a delightful mix of humor, action, and, of course, delicious recipes made from the monsters our heroes encounter.The characters are wonderfully quirky, each bringing their own charm to the table (literally), and the artwork is detailed, vibrant, and full of life. The way food is depicted is simply mouth-watering, making it hard not to get hungry while reading. But beyond the novelty of the concept, the manga also weaves in heartfelt moments and a genuine sense of camaraderie among the characters, making it more than just a gimmick.A refreshing take on the fantasy genre that will leave you eagerly reaching for the next volume. Whether you’re a fan of fantasy, cooking, or just looking for something truly different, this manga is a must-read. Highly recommended!

Title: Adventure and cuisine collide… and it’s delicious!
Review: It is easy to dismiss a cooking series for those who have never read a good cooking series. It is easy to dismiss fantasy for those who have suffered the misfortune of having read so many shallow treatments of the genre before. I, however, am glad to have my nose stuck in this one’s pages.Unlike many current manga, this series is not about people from Earth trapped in a video game world; this is a real-deal, secondary fantasy world based in large part on tropes from Dungeons & Dragons and its behemoth legacy in popular fantasy, but author Ryoko Kui handles it with a thoughtful sense of subtlety: What was the dungeon built to do? What sort of ecology and economy has developed inside? How does the bizarre world beneath betray the expectations of characters living in the exotic world above? This builds for me a firm verisimilitude – despite the aforementioned D&D influence, this fantasy is devoid of power levels, MP, or other abstractly numbered, affected stylizations too common in other contemporary fantasy adventure manga.This journey is mixed – as the premise promises – with a healthy dose of humor grown organically from the eccentric characters themselves. None of it seems particularly canned, and the food aspect itself can be quite clever; for instance, how does one eat living armor?Lastly, the wonders of the underground labyrinth are deliciously detailed on page, while the chapter breaks feature maps, adventuring tools mixed with cooking implements, or amusing vignettes. I’ll mention the characters again here, because the author has a fine handle on comedic facial expressions, which are understandably common when one survives by eating predatory slime and – well, see for yourself!The main draws for me are the character humor, the clever culinary capers, and the setting, which reveals further mysteries as the series continues in future volumes. (Yes, I’ve read beyond the first volume, and plan to keep doing so!)Happy travels, and bon appetit!

Title: They ate a _what_?
Review: A fun little manga about adventurers eating their way through a dungeon, from the reasonable – walking mushrooms and giant scorpions – to the not so much – basilisks and living armor!? I have to say, I sympathize a lot with the elf mage; I’d be really dubious about this project too, but it’s a lot of fun to read about!

Title: Great start to a wonderful manga
Review: Note: I’m 4 volumes into this story. no spoilersThis is such a delightful and smart narrative work. The art is stellar and expressive! The story is smart and so well crafted – the world has so much detail crafted into it where you aren’t given everything, but you can tell there’s always more to learn about this world, it’s characters, and history. Not too much is given at one time, but enough to keep your appetite for more.I also wanted to comment on the unique matte finish to the cover. Interesting texture. I like it.And as far as I am in the story, all those points above continue to stay strong.

Review: It’s a very simple start to the series, but the art, pacing and writing are all wonderful. I highly recommend people get the first volume even if it’s not as involved as the following ones.
