you heard it here first, folks! if you enjoy dungeon meshi you should also read the extremely normal manga Golden Kamuy. it has *checks notes* hot dudes, found family tropes, cooking montages. also some other things. don't worry about it.

the fact that dungeon meshi got so popular on here all of a sudden is so funny to me because emily recommended it to me like a year and a half ago, but emily reads some bizarre shit that nobody else on the planet has ever heard of, even the artist who presumably drew it has not heard of it. but now every post on my dashboard is either about those vampires divorcing each other or it's the fuckin. great dungeon crawl baking show.

#telling people to read golden kamuy for hot dudes is like when everyone in the terror fandom was joking about how funny it would be #to try and get ppl to watch the terror for gay shipping reasons #when suddenly! bear attack!#golden kamuy is not quite as emotionally and psychologically damaging as the terror #but it has probably around the same amount of people getting torn apart by bears? if that helps?#significantly less cannibalism BUT NOT ZERO.#there is a NON-ZERO AMOUNT OF CANNIBALISM in golden kamuy #and that's my actual real recommendation.#ok being serious for a second it's about. an extremely hard to kill (functionally immortal) veteran of the russo-japanese war #who befriends a young ainu girl and they go on An Adventure looking for hidden gold. hunting and cooking various delicious meals #major themes of survivor's guilt‚ healing from trauma‚ the impact of industrialisation. and a huge cast of entrancingly weird individuals.#it's really good go read it #big content warning for violence gore animal death. lots of human death. at least one character commits suicide. really weird dick jokes.
