Fans of “Meshi Dungeon (Delicious in Dungeon)” are in luck, as they won’t have to wait until the second season of the anime to continue the fascinating story. After the end of the first season, a second season was announced, but those who wish to follow the adventures of Laios and his team can do so immediately through the manga.

For those who were left wanting more after the first season of the anime, the key is in chapter 53 of the manga. The first season of the anime, produced by TRIGGER Studios, adapts the story up to chapter 52 of the manga. Therefore, to continue exactly where the anime ends, you should start reading from chapter 53. This chapter is found in Volume 8 of the manga, which is the same volume in which the first season of the anime ends.

“Dungeon Meshi” is a series that won over audiences with its unique blend of adventure, comedy and gastronomy. The story follows Laios, a young adventurer whose sister was devoured by a dragon in a dungeon. Determined to rescue her, Laios embarks on a dangerous quest accompanied by his team, consisting of the sorceress Marcille, the warrior Chilchuck and the enigmatic dwarf Senshi, who introduces the group to the world of cooking with the monsters they encounter along the way.

The anime adaptation, limited exclusively to Netflix, was acclaimed both for its faithfulness to the source material and the quality of the animation. TRIGGER Studios, known for their work on series such as “Kill la Kill” and “Little Witch Academia,” captured the essence of “Dungeon Meshi,” delivering a visual and narrative experience that left fans wanting more.

For those who want to follow the adventures of Laios and his team without waiting for the next season of the anime, chapter 53 of the manga is the ideal starting point. This chapter not only marks the beginning of a new story arc, but also maintains the pace and tone that made “Dungeon Meshi” such a beloved series.

Also, it is worth mentioning that the “Dungeon Meshi” manga is now complete with a total of 14 volumes and 97 chapters. This means there is a lot of material to be explored for those who decide to dive into the manga after watching the anime.
