manga of the day 08/16/2024 Dungeon Friends Forever

cute romcom sol fantasy mango of a dungeon boss and a guy who are childhood friends, pretty cute most of the time and the humour is quite nice

[parsleysagerosemarytimemachine]

Interesting, cute art, didn't quite grab me, but at least was worth a read. Pretty standard childhood-friends romance, standard fantasy RPG dungeon.

ppl are too quick to point to laios' disability as the reason his friends think he's a freak sometimes. so many instances of laios getting yelled at are, in my eyes, a case of "this guy had to emotionally mature very early in order to be there for his little sister" combined with "much older friends who never had to learn to manage their own emotions to the same degree"

a lot of the time he's right about needing to be more direct/deal with things in a way that may seem scary/needing to put your gut reaction aside. he tries not to make his friends uncomfortable and he puts up with a lot because he's trying to keep the peace, but he also pushes the others out of their comfort zones purposefully to try to get them to think more constructively. everyone else in the party is prone to acting on their gut instincts and avoiding uncomfortable situations even when facing them head-on is very much necessary. part of what makes laios such a great leader is the fact that he knows from experience how to put his own feelings aside to help someone else grow.

yes, he does make a lot of social blunders by accident and he does struggle to connect with others, but not all of his positive influence on others is accidental or "despite" making people uncomfortable. a lot of the time, I think it's clear he knows exactly what he's doing and he's trying to help the people around him process emotions in a healthy way as they all go through some truly harrowing shit. all the main characters support each other as well as they can with their unique emotional skillsets. laios' skillset just happens to be "gently talk child into eating her vegetables"

So in the scenes below the context is Toshiro looking at Falin or interacting with her, right?

I will always find it absurdly cute that you can tell which of the characters around him feel the friendliest towards him lol AKA: Kabru and Namari.

So very cute how quick Kabru warmed up to Toshiro, and vice versa btw. That's a real smile PLUS a friendly shoulder pat. Which Toshiro is accepting!

And Namari auhhh. She KNEW that Toshiro wanted to propose. She brings it up to Laios, god, my kingdom in exchange of seeing how that conversation played off. I don't think Toshiro's often open like that, and definitely not with just anyone.

Oh Toshiro. You're going to miss so many things when you go back to Wa.

id: a fullbody, digital drawing of marcille from dungeon meshi. she's in her dungeon lord outfit. marcille is shown sitting on her legs, holding her staff, ambrosia, in front of herself and leaning on it. she looks scared with her gaze fixed on something in front of her. there is "friends forever" written to the right of her head in a half-circle. the background is black and white and resembles a doorway, from which light is pouring out onto marcille. the rest of the drawing is colored in using different shades of grey. end id

I really don't know how she did it - actually I do, but I'd never be able to explain it - but ryoko kui wrote in a way that no one in this manga feels like a "villain". It's really difficult to go around hating anyone that appears long enough to be relevant (or maybe Laios really got to me and I don't feel like putting any effort in hating, I'm focusing on enjoying and understanding the story and its characters as he goes about everything around him) (damn he DID got to me)
