Dungeon Meshi is a well liked manga, and an adaptation by Studio Trigger is now airing. If you haven’t picked this one up, consider joining us. Both for fun and as a way of contributing to activity on Lemmy.
Episodes are available to stream on Netflix.
Izutsumi's membership in Laios' party is off to a rocky start. The gang is running low on food again, and unlike our former main quartet, our new feline friend isn't taking well to the idea of eating monsters, and is taking it out on her new friends.
As the journey continues through the now frozen fifth level, the gang starts looking for the next monster of the week to cook up for dinner, while refusing to treat our new neko-buddy with anything but kindness.
Remember not to spoil anything if you’re a manga reader, but feel free to elaborate on tidbits of lore that may not be coming through in the adaptation.
Funny you should mention god, and his intentions concerning the creatures of the dungeon...
Izutsumi is 17. She's not quite a kid anymore... But she's a kid. And Maizuru clearly never bothered treating her as more than a vaguely human creature.
Maizuru might have done well enough with Shuro, but she clearly didn't put the same effort into her "pet" as she did her "waka-sama".
When it comes to people to be around. Ones that value good communication, co-operation, and honest interaction (unlike a certain Kabru), Izu could not have lucked out harder on a group to end up with.
Izu has been "taken care of" her whole life, but never by people who concern themselves with who she is and where she is going, the way Laios' gang does.
I love the way they dealt with Izu scratching up Laios' face. Marcille comments that it's horrible, but none of them so much as hint at being vindictive about it. You can just tell that among the Nakamotos, that would have meant corporeal punishment.
But here, no-one stares daggers at her, or tells her she's a bad person. The only one giving Izu any crap is Chilchuck, and he apologized for it.
