    Claudius, king of Denmark, and Laertes, a very noble youth, have an arrangement, of sorts. Based on the Bethany Lutheran College production of Hamlet, but can absolutely be read without watching that production.

    Summary

    Inside the bakery, Lan Zhan works the dough one last time. He hasn’t looked up once. When he does, Wei Ying bites his tongue on the shriek that tries to bust out of his throat. He freezes like a startled rabbit, like he thinks Lan Zhan is a predator who can’t see movement.

    It’s fine. Lan Zhan doesn’t see him.

    Summary

    Since Kabru’s first appearance in the anime is upon us, I wanted to write something that compiles all the evidence we have that Kabru is meant to be a person of South or Central Asian ethnicity, or at least whatever the equivalent to that is in the Dungeon Meshi world.

    Ryoko Kui can and does draw people of many different ethnicities, and the way she draws Kabru matches the way she draws other Asian characters in Dungeon Meshi. He doesn’t look Black, or Hispanic, or any other ethnicity because he isn’t supposed to. He looks like a dark-skinned South or Central Asian person, because that’s what Ryoko Kui probably intends him to be.

    So let’s go through the evidence!

    Summary

    [NON-FICTION FANWORK] Dungeon Meshi is full of vivid and complex world-building. When you take all the information in the manga as a whole, there are clear and consistent patterns in what real world cultures the author was inspired by, and how she arranges them on the Dungeon Meshi world map.

    In this essay, I will catalog and explain every real world cultural reference I was able to identify in the manga, including character and location names, historical and mythological references, clothing, and of course food!

     

    WARNING: This essay is full of spoilers for the entire Dungeon Meshi manga, all the extra materials, and the anime. Disturbing and violent moments that happen in the series are described, discussed and analyzed. The essay also discusses real-life world history and mythology, which contains sensitive subjects like war, death, slavery, abortion, child killing, sexual assault, incest, and bestiality. These topics are mentioned in an academic context, and not described. Please proceed with caution if this concerns you.
