Delicious in Dungeon fans looking to pass the time while waiting for Season 2 of Netflix’s breakout anime hit to arrive should check out the manga the series is based on. Following the massive success of Season 1 of the anime adaptation, Yen Press released a decorative box set edition of Ryoko Kui’s manga of the same name. Delicious in Dungeon: The Complete Box Set launched in December with a lofty $225 list price, but Amazon currently has a limited-time deal that drops the price of the full 14-volume series to $140. The 38% discount is the best we’ve seen, but it’s unclear how long Amazon’s deal lasts.
$140 (was $225)
Delicious in Dungeon: The Complete Box Set includes 14 volumes of the series written and illustrated by Ryoko Kui. As a bonus, the set also includes an exclusive poster and the full package comes in a special display box featuring decorative doors that open to reveal one of the series’ most iconic monsters.
If you haven’t heard of it or caught the anime episodes yet, Delicious in Dungeon revolves around the dungeon explorers Laios, Marcille, Chilchuck, and Senshi as they set on a quest to save a comrade and gorge themselves on all the monsters they encounter. There’s an incredible level of worldbuilding in this series, as it goes into exhaustive detail on everything that exists within its pages and it contains numerous recipes for cooking up foul monsters. If you’re a fan of fantasy worlds, dungeon-crawling RPGs, or cooking and culinary arts, chances are you’ll enjoy the series as well.

If you don’t want to commit to the whole series, you can buy individual volumes of Delicious in Dungeon for $10-$14 each at the moment. A very good companion piece to the manga and anime is the Delicious in Dungeon World Guide: The Adventurer’s Bible. The book includes a wide assortment of illustrations and character background information, plus an encyclopedia of all of the mouth-watering monsters hiding in the dungeon waiting to be turned into lunch.

Several other notable manga box sets are on sale if you’re looking to pick up more full series to add to your collection. One of the coolest deals you can pick up is the Nausicaa’s deluxe manga box set for $57 (was $80), which collects the full 59-chapter run in hardcover format. The series was written and illustrated by Studio Ghibli’s Hayao Miyazaki, and is among his first-ever works. If you’ve seen the movie, then you’ll be familiar with the characters and setting–however, the manga’s storyline extends far beyond the film version, which only accounts for roughly the first 14 chapters of the 59-chapter epic.
Zelda fans can pick up the full manga adaptation of the Twilight Princess storyline with The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Complete Box Set for $85 (was $130). This collection includes all 11 volumes from the manga series, plus a double-sided poster and a sleek collector’s box with exclusive artwork. Speaking of Zelda, you can also get the Legendary Edition Box Set of the original Zelda manga series for $72 (was $125). This collection includes five premium books collecting all 10 volumes in the series in a treasure chest case.
