Are you tired of the same old dungeon-crawling stories where the heroes survive on magical potions and unexplained rations? Then get ready to dig into one of the most brilliant, hilarious, and masterfully written fantasy adventures of all time.

When young adventurer Laios and his party get utterly thrashed by a red dragon deep in the dungeon depths, they do not just lose their dignity. They lose all their gold, their entire stash of provisions, and worst of all, Laios's sister, Falin, who is swallowed whole! Desperate to mount a rescue mission before she is digested, the remaining party members face a fatal dilemma: how do you traverse a deadly, trap-ridden labyrinth with zero food and empty pockets? Laios, showing a streak of bizarre genius, suggests a culinary revolution: why not just eat the monsters?

What follows is a spectacular culinary adventure where slimes, basilisks, giant bats, and yes, even dragons, are transformed into gourmet meals. Accompanied by Senshi, a dwarf-cook who has dedicated his life to monster cuisine, the party navigates deadly encounters and deep psychological challenges, turning every fight into a recipe for success. Underneath the laugh-out-loud comedy and delicious recipes lies an incredibly rich world-building experience and a deeply moving plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat. It is no surprise that this masterpiece earned multiple Manga Taishou Award nominations from 2016 to 2019, topped the Kono Manga ga Sugoi! male readers list, and comes complete with 14 extra chapters to satisfy your post-adventure hunger.
