My First Taste of ‘Delicious in Dungeon’
I first encountered Delicious in Dungeon on Netflix. The anime was funny, the art was fantastic, and the characters felt alive. Naturally, I had to read the manga. It didn’t disappoint. What I loved most was how each chapter combines cooking with adventure, turning monsters into meals and discovery into something playful, light, and surprisingly cozy.
8 - Beyond The Battle: Frieren’s Story
Volume 8 truly highlighted how Frieren's decision-making has now been strongly affected not only by her former party, but most specifically by Himmel himself. Although Eisen and Heiter also use Himmel as their guide whenever they make decisions, for Frieren it feels even more pronounced.
7 - Beyond The Battle: Frieren’s Story
“This volume reminded me of why I love Frieren. The fight scenes gave readers their much-needed dose of excitement and intrigue with magic, but the story never lacked heart'…”
Exploring Childhood and Healing in Taizan5’s Takopi’s Original Sin
Shizuka appears uninterested, or perhaps unbothered, but offers the alien some of her bread. This simple act of kindness reveals to us the purpose of Takopi. The alien from the Happy Planet: a planet focused on spreading happiness throughout the galaxy.
One of the realest aspects of this story to me was the fact that the author does not shy away from highlighting the impact of their environment on a child's mind.
6 - Beyond The Battle: Frieren’s Story
Reaching the point where the anime ends felt incredibly satisfying. There’s a real sense of progression and payoff. At the same time, it’s hard not to hesitate before picking up the next book.
5 - Beyond The Battle: Frieren’s Story
This is one of my favorite volumes because we see more into Frieren. We don't just see who she was before the Hero Party, we see her as a collection of her past and present self. I love the way she managed the party she was assigned with as well.
Captivating Grief and Memory: A Review of Goodbye, Eri by Tatsuki Fujimoto
The art itself is sharp and distinct, with crisp lines that perfectly complement the dynamic flow of the story. Fujimoto’s ability to balance empty spaces, atmospheric elements, and the subtle details of a character’s surroundings creates an experience that feels natural yet emotionally charged.
3 - Beyond The Battle: Frieren’s Story.
Fern's growth as a mage is evident, though she still heavily relies on Frieren's teachings. Stark's unwavering determination continues to be a cornerstone of the group. The dynamic between the three is a fascinating aspect of the story.
2 - Beyond the Battle: Frieren's Story.
Volume two introduces us to Eisen, another member of Frieren's former party, adding depth to the world and its characters. Like Heiter before him, Eisen seeks an apprentice for Frieren, further enriching the narrative.
