Meshi Dungeon (Delicious Dungeon) began publication in Harta magazine in February 2014 and ended on September 15, 2023.
Meshi Dungeon has been winning several awards and in 2015 it was considered the best manga of the year in Kono Manga ga Sugoi! (This Manga Is Amazing!).
On the official website we can read:
When young adventurer Laios and his company are attacked by a dragon in a dungeon, the party loses all its money and supplies… and a member! They’re eager to go back and save her, but there’s just one problem: if they leave without food or money, they’re sure they’ll starve to death along the way! But Laios has a brilliant idea: “Let’s eat the monsters!” Slugs, snakes and even dragons… none are safe from the appetites of these gluttons!
