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.

    I don’t know, if that were the case it would’ve been shown I think, considering the curse placed on her Shuro would’ve said something about that if he was concerned. Marcille explains that separating souls is kinda impossible even for a mage of her caliber, I don’t think Shuro would’ve assumed that she could do it.

      I’ll just quickly confirm two things explained in the world guide.

      The spell Maizuru used to keep track of Izu may not actually be lethal. She used to use the exact same spell to keep Shuro from running off as a child, so it might be that all it does is scare the subject.

      Second, Izu wants her curse broken, but it wasn’t placed on her by the Nakamotos. She was already a beast-man when they bought her from a freak show.

        It definitely seemed lethal with the way it was using that knife, probably a modified version of the same spell that she used for Shuro, I think.

        I see, probably from some dealer who sells “exotic” slaves, yuck (._.)

          Not sure. The world guide explicitly mentions it’s a spell that causes a monster to chase you, with a knife. The intended effect is obviously to cause fear of death, but it’s unclear whether it will actually proceed to kill the subject given the chance.
