What do you get when you cross dungeon adventures and food manga? you get Yummy in Dungeon, where we find our group of adventurers on a mission to save their lost team member while figuring out how to survive on the food the dungeon provides. When the young adventurer Laios and his company are attacked and struck down by a dragon deep in a dungeon, the party loses all their money and supplies. They can’t wait to do it again, but there’s just one problem: if they set out without food or money, they’re sure to eat it on the way! But Laios comes up with a brilliant idea: “Let’s eat the monsters!” Slimes, basilisks, mimics, and even dragons… no one is safe from the appetites of these dungeon-crawling gluttons!
