Extensive spoilers ahead. Don't read if you aren't familiar with Delicious in Dungeon's storylines after the red dragon encounter.

An outstanding volume, this one packs in so many all-time highlights. There's the stunningly drawn and laid out fight against the Falin-chimera. There's the emotional heartbreak of Shuro's fight with Laios, and Shuro releasing his pent-up frustrations about our boy Laios's autistic social miscues. As a bit of an emotional breather, there's the delightful switcheroo with the shapeshifter, and the resulting cookoff competition. Then we get the full introduction of Izutsumi, one of my favorite characters from the anime.

I'm trying to pace my purchases; the plan is to hold off on any further Dungeon tankōbon until October. That's going to be tough, after I inhaled these two volumes so early in the month. At least I have two volumes of Witch Hat Atelier
