tasty in Dungeon is one of those “only in comics” concepts: it’s a food manga where the dishes all include fantasy monsters, since our chefs are part of a celebration on a quest to discover as well as kill a dragon in a dungeon.
Laios’s sibling Falin saved the group, on a previous trip in, by sacrificing herself. However, although she was eaten by a dragon, magic is typical as well as workable sufficient that, if the group discovers her body by slaying the monster quickly, they can bring back her. However, they’re short on funds, so to save money, instead of buying provisions, they’re going to eat what they kill along the way.
In addition to warrior Laios, the group consists of Marcille, a magic-wielding elf; Chilchuck, who’s great with traps as well as locks; as well as new addition Senshi, a dwarf who has been cooking in the dungeon for a decade. He’s their guide to what’s edible as well as exactly how to make it tasty. (He’s likewise adorable, with his deal with mainly including significant curly beard with a couple of eyes as well as a horned helmet above.)
And boy, the dishes do noise delicious. They’re variations on genuine food, however with slices of giant walking mushrooms instead of typical fungi, for example. Or making a fruit tart from the output of a giant man-eating plant.
Laios has been dreaming of this culinary experience for a while, however Marcille has some qualms about eating food where she’s so uncertain of the sources. Survival wins the argument, though. Senshi, meanwhile, lectures on the importance of a balanced diet plan as well as the requirement for appropriate nutrition to be healthy fighters.
There are likewise lessons on discovering teamwork, valuing everyone’s unique skills, scientific investigation (to figure out the true type of some monsters), as well as the requirement for honest communication, as the group ventures further into this magic-laden, multi-level fantasy world. There’s a great deal of innovative thinking, as the fighters try as well as repurpose whatever they discover for cooking materials. who would have believed a flaming oil trap might be utilized to make tempura? The dishes, for all they’re fantastic, noise great sufficient that they make me hungry.
The monsters are diverse as well as interesting, ranging from living armor to classics like the basilisk as well as mandrakes. There are a series of short one-page comics at the end of the book going into more detail about each.
Even though I’ve never played D&D as well as I don’t care much for fantasy quest books, this food-oriented dungeon crawl by Ryoko Kui was a terrific read. It’s silly however still entertaining, with sufficient humor to lighten the mood. (The publisher provided a evaluation copy.)
