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.
Laios and the gang finally gain a new party member! It’s not Falin, and she’s a bit of a pain, but how can they say no to adopting a catgirl in need?
The adventure continues as our heroes delve deeper into the dungeon.
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.
Yes. The Nakamotos are very, very fucked up.
Izutsumi was given to Maizuru as a pet by Shuro’s father, though in practice she was just another slave purchased to become a retainer. And Shuro’s dad’s actions are questionable af as he was love-bombing Maizuru by giving her a literal person as a gift.
Unlike with most retainers, Izutsumi was never happy to be owned just because the Nakamotos housed and fed her. Likely because typically retainers start off very young so they can be indoctrinated into endless gratitude towards the family, ready to die for a Nakamoto at the drop of a hat.
But Izu was purchased when much older, as a drunken impulse buy to “get Maizuru a kitten”.
I’ll post Maizuru’s world guide chapter next, as it touches on these things.
That was the dungeon masters book, yes.
