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.

Summary
A meta essay examining disability and caregiving in Dungeon Meshi, focusing primarily on Mithrun and the desire-eating condition. Since Dungeon Meshi is very focused on survival and the logistics of all the small maintenance activities (like eating, sleeping, bathing, etc), it also has interesting things to say about people who can't do that.

My love for all seasons by Kotsumie

Summary
Determined to run away from a life that made him feel miserable, Mithrun moves to a quiet little village, offering a free plot of land to everyone willing to rehabilitate the old farm. He’s not exactly willing but his therapist did say that the country side’s air will probably make him feel a little better and that he might find a new purpose in this community. He’s not really convinced but giving it a shot can’t hurt, especially considering how little he has left to lose. Maybe he will find happiness in this new beginning, especially with how close he’s getting to the town’s bartender, Kabru.

Summary
Kabru huffs impatiently, like he’s not the one drawing this out. "To see if you…might be willing to marry me."
He flashes a subdued version of his winning smile. Mithrun sits with his wine glass in hand, still as a statue, sure he’s misheard. A long silence stretches between them.
Marry him?-
Desperate to facilitate trade between Melini and the elven kingdom, Kabru comes up with a brilliant idea- a political marriage with the one person who won't actually fall in love with him. This absolutely will not backfire in any way.Bookmarked by AcAccc
