Delicious in Dungeon is a manga about adventures delving deep into a dungeon.

It was produced by Ryoko Kui and ran from 2014 to 2023. It has an anime adaptation by Studio Trigger with its own page.

Tropes used in Delicious in Dungeon (manga) include:
  • Badass Beard: Senshi has one.
  • Don't Try This At Home: Given the show's focus on hunting and preparing wild game, the manga needed this a few times:
    • In the episode where the party prepares mandrakes, the author leaves a disclaimer noting that real mandrake root (unlike the fictional variety) is highly toxic and should not be consumed by humans.
    • The episode with the animated armor, Laios assures Marcelle that the crustacean-like inhabitants of the armor cannot be poisonous, as anything that hides in a shell to survive (which would be classified as a bivalve in real world biology) would not need venom to protect itself. This is not true in reality (there are indeed venomous bivalves), and again a sidebar makes note of it.
  • For Want of a Nail: The party is hungry, and suffers in their fight against the dragon.
  • Heroes Prefer Swords: Laois wields a sword.
  • On-Site Procurement: The food is procured by using monster parts in the dungeon.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: The party fights one, but fails due to hunger.
  • Our Dwarves Are All the Same: Senshi is a bit of an oddball by dwarvern standards.
  • Our Spirits Are Different: Spirit monsters can be seen on the cover of volume 5.
