Delicious in Dungeon, Vol. 1
When young adventurer Laios and his party are attacked by a dragon deep in a dungeon, they lose their money, their provisions, and one of their own — his sister, swallowed whole. Determined to rescue her before it's too late, but with no coin or food to survive the trip back down, Laios proposes an unconventional solution: eat the monsters. Joined by the dwarf Senshi, a seasoned monster cook, the party ventures back into the dungeon, turning slimes, basilisks, and giant scorpions into meals as they race to save their friend.
Written and illustrated by Ryoko Kui, Delicious in Dungeon ran in Enterbrain's seinen manga magazine Harta from 2014 to 2023 and was collected into 14 volumes.
