lowkey i kinda dont like how fast dungeon meshi was super commercialized but also the girl can get that bag

Well, that means it's popular right?

Honestly I was worried I was gonna be plagued by generic official merch designs but I've seen lots of cool things I wish I could have as a fan, I feel like the generic ooc stuff it's minimal so I'm pretty happy so far, even the collabs and fan-servicey things are pretty cute and in character most of the time

In the end I'm just happy Dungeon Meshi is a completed story that kept focus on what story it wanted to tell instead of making weird decisions for marketing reasons. So it's not like the commercialization is gonna affect that and we are living in capitalism world, hope Kui gets at least some of it.

Suddenly obsessed with pixels so I was redoing the pixel art from dunmeshi merch, red dragon is very cute

[dunmeshistash]

The Dungeon Meshi Pixel art designs from some of the merch are so cute, wish I could find all of them in higher res, some of them I can only find blurry images </3 (Like Thistle Mithrun and Shuro)

Hey, Cyan! Thank you for all the work you've compiled for us dunmeshi-pilled people.

Do you have any info on whether Ryoko Kui had any assistants when making dungeon meshi? I know some mangakas like Fujimoto had assistants that now have gained merit on their own works. I'm just curious and I've also tried searching online about this but nothing came up. Thank you in advance!

Hello! No problem! 🫶

Yes she had assistants! She names some of them in the thank you note at the end of the manga

That's the yen press version, I decided to check the raws these are the names

太田垣 (Otagaki?)

池田 (Ikeda)

伊藤 (Itou)

田口 (Taguchi)

Canary guards and prisoners section from the new Adventurer's Bible

Fantranslation of this section From what I can see the official english isn't that different from other translations I've seen, here's a transcript since some parts are hard to read

Guards

Flamela: Queen's distant relation (The little family tree says Queen -> Younger Sister (diff. father) -> [Flamela's parent has no label] -> Flamela)

Erique ♀: Pardoned for distinguished service at Utaya. Her crime was learning and selling knowledge of ancient magic.

Guard 1 ♂ (Long hair): From a nouveau riche family

Guard 2 ♀ (Short hair): From a ruined aristocratic family

Guard 3 ♂ (Curly hair): Distant relation of a famous clan

Prisioners

Prisoner 1 ♀ (Scar on right eye): Use of ancient magic, assault, murder, etc.

Prisoner 2 ♀ (Misyl): Learning about ancient magic, fraud

Prisoner 3 ♂ (Bangs that cast shadow): Use of ancient magic, involuntary manslaughter

Prisoner 4 ♂ (Tired): Sale and use of ancient magic items and banned drugs, murder, injury, intimidation, etc.

Prisoner 5 ♀ (Long wavy hair): Sale and research of ancient magic items

Former Canaries

Milsiril ♀ and Helki ♂: Pardoned as a reward for service at Utaya and entrusted to guarantor

Checking the new AB, they didn't even fix Fionil being related to the whole Northern Central Continent LMAO

The other errors I remembered of the top of my head aren't fixed either, I thought at least something as obvious as the one in Fionil's profile would be corrected but no, that probably means they didn't edit anything that didn't change from the older version?

okay this is going to sound a little silly. but do you know where the illustration from the back of this gif is from

Ofc! Here you go pookie bear

It's the illustration for the second dungeon meshi opening, Unmei by Sumika

hey! I was wondering what information we have on people going into comas from their familiars dying. fleki goes comatose when hers dies later in the manga, but idk if there are any other examples. thanks!

Hello! Fleki is the only example that happens in the story as far as I remember, but they say it's something that "happens all the time"

On the subject, one of the more common asks I've gotten is "Why did Fleki get brain damage when her familiar died but Marcille didn't?"

There's not a definitive answer but I compiled some of the theories on this ask

In this version it was translated as him "accompanying" Delgal and throwing it on google translate it says he "joins Delgal for drinks in the evening" so it might be a mistranslation as yen press is known for

I don't think Delgal needed to be hated for this even if Thistle did drink with him tho. There's nothing implying Thistle was forced and I doubt tallmen understand what's the age of drinking for an elf if there's even such a concept in the dungeon meshi world

In my interpretation this is just saying "Thistle hates drunks but he doesn't mind Delgal"

Received an anon about the subject:

Anonymous asked: Hey! For the anon wrt DunMeshi magic in D&D: Spirits/mana sprites are, in my reading, essentially just a part of mana, in that they proliferate in high mana, and are a part of ecosystems (many tentacles species eat them for example, as noted in the manga). High mana=high spirits. Essentially mana plankton, but can become aspected (like when they coalesce into elementals). I theorize they are what the two magic systems opted to start using to shape spells after sealing the Demon away. For Magic in D&D: presumably, gnomish magic is better for things like healing or protection that often benefits from intent ("heal this one" instead of exact surgical procedures), while elven magic is conducive to attack spells etc that benefit from tight control, but ultimately the differences seem very slight practically, and I would just make them flavor, or a small number difference. Spell choices are prob. cultural; Gnomes won't appreciate wanton destructive spells much etc.

Hello, @dunmeshistash! Your blog has helped me better understand the magic system in Dungeon Meshi, thank you for that! I’m working on a custom class for a game set in this universe and have some questions.

Am I correct in understanding that there are two main magic systems (besides the eastern one): elven (using the caster’s mana) and gnomish (relying on spirits)? Based on this, I switched from a spell slot system to a spell purchase point system, assigning points by race: elves — 3, gnomes — 2, humans, halflings, dwarves, kobolds, ogres, orcs — 1 each. This emphasizes the elves’ natural magical talent.

But I’m facing challenges: if I create a wizard class for elven magic, what about spells like “fireball” that could theoretically be used by the gnomish school? Should I make two classes for each school? Also, does gnomish magic depend on the environment, e.g., would a “fireball” be impossible in a flooded city due to the absence of fire spirits?

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

P.S. I’m using Tumblr for the first time...

Hello there! I'm always happy to learn my blog has been useful!

Yes, there's two main "schools" of magic, at least in the part of the world the story happens, elvish and gnomish

From my understanding is not that the gnomes don't use their own mana but rather that they don't have to use as much to attain similar results because they aren't controlling it as precisely as elves. I'm still not sure what "spirits" are in Dungeon Meshi tho, and how it differentiates from ambient magic or if it's the same thing (ambient magic as shown in this extra from Kui's blog)

Might be that they're one in the same. I don't think you'd have to make a different fireball spell to be used for gnomes or elves, Falin uses gnomish system and Marcille uses elvish system (as far as I remember) but both of them can use similar spells (like healing for example) I think the difference is more on how its cast (elvish being very precise and gnomish more loose) they also seem to have different preferences on which spells/magic to use, like the fact gnomes tend to use spirit familiars like holm's undine but that seems to be race/cultural preference rather than just the system, since humans use gnomish system but we don't meet any using spirit familiars (that I remember)

I would assume ambient moisture would affect both in the same amount if it did affect, unless the gnome magic user is using an actual salamander (fire spirit) in that case maybe the fire spirit would get weakened by the moisture the same way an undine is affected by high temperatures?

But I don't remember any indication that higher moisture would affect an spell like fireball, Marcille has used her explosion spell both in floor 4 (flooded) and in floor 6 (frozen) without the location seeming to affect it (it was affected by the lack of a staff tho)

Hope this helps, there's lots of speculation and assumptions so feel free to interpret it in which way works best for your game!

And welcome to tumblr! Hope you have fun around here :)

EHscans are not missing the last chapter, it just isn't in the main list. If you look in their Dungeon Meshi tag you cans see the post where they released it. For the first chapter, look up junichiro-kun on tumblr.

Oh I didn't know that! Thank you!

[dunmeshistash]

Comick and Bato To are the most trustworthy Mangadex alternatives I've found so far

There you go. Either way, everyone should remember to use an ad blocker if you don't already

[dunmeshistash]

I feel dumb cause i know you've probably answered this already but where online should I read dungeon meshi?

I usually say mangadex but it seems like it's not available there anymore? rip 😞

You can download the chapters directly from EHScans website but they're missing the first and last chapter (edit: They have the last chapter on the tag)

I don't really know other trustworthy websites for reading mangas, usually I do my reading on an app called Mihon (before I used tachiyomi but I heard it died) so if you have an android I recommend that

Most websites have the EHScans version from what I've noticed (the ones that at first name them Laius, Farlyn etc) that's the version I recommend even tho they have weird names for a while
