The first-ever large-scale exhibition dedicated to Ryoko Kui’s manga sensation, Delicious in Dungeon (also known as Dungeon Meshi), has unveiled two tantalising new illustrations alongside a treasure trove of merchandise.
From standard badges and keychains to magical mugs and Red Dragon snacks, fans will have the chance to feast on a delectable array of goodies. One of the highlights features “Senshi’s Salt”, seasoning attributed to the series’ resident chef.
The event promises immersive recreations of iconic scenes, behind-the-scenes production materials from anime powerhouse TRIGGER, and captivating illustrations. Hosted at Tokyo Solamachi’s Space 634 (located at the East Yard on the 5th floor) from 27 April to 6 May 2024, this mouthwatering extravaganza is a must-visit for fans of the series.
The Delicious in Dungeon anime adaptation is directed by Yoshihiro Miyajima and animated by studio TRIGGER. The stellar creative team also includes series composition by Kimiko Ueno (Little Witch Academia), character designs by Naoki Takeda (BNA), and music by Yasunori Mitsuda (Chrono Trigger). Netflix offers worldwide streaming of the anime in both subbed and dubbed versions, with the second cour of the anime forthcoming, while Yen Press publishes the official English version of the manga.
The synopsis for the series reads:
“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!”
