Fascinating subject – but a difficult read
Even with the dual help of a currently-airing anime with translations and the English versions, Dungeon Meshi is a pretty tough read, largely because of the depth of vocabulary required. The bulk of this volume is conversations between party members as they explain things about dungeoneering, fantasy biology or cooking, and being fantasy things aren't as grounded as some other series and don't always work the way you expect. The drawings are gorgeous and clear and generally speaking the series is pretty enjoyable, but it's a bit of a slog if you don't have an extensive lexicon at hand.
