Summary
Aizawa has one job: keep his pod safe and happy. Life as a mer isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, so when a nearby human settlement threatens to put them all in danger yet again, he decides to see for himself just how bad the threat really is.
(It involves significantly less biting than expected, and significantly more paperwork).
Yuuei Marine Research Facility is a strange place run by an even stranger man. The research conducted and care provided is unparalleled, true, but do they really get their information directly from the mer themselves?
(There might just be a reason they’re so good at protecting endangered mer).

They’re all alive and well i am IGNORING the current arc. I will not explain further they just are. It’s crack what more do you need

Summary
Famed treasure hunter and pilot, Aventurine, crash-lands on a deserted island. Injured and exhausted, he only survives the ordeal thanks to the aid of the island's only resident: an oddly eloquent sea monster calling himself 'Veritas'.
In exchange, Veritas insists that Aventurine becomes his mate. Curious and quickly growing fond of this creature, Aventurine agrees to the proposal.
Except, does he really know what he's getting into...?

Summary
When Hua Cheng loses all his memories of Xie Lian, afflicted by a tricky curse, there’s only one way to get them back: Xie Lian has to get Hua Cheng to kiss him.
It shouldn’t be too difficult, right?
Xie Lian has a plan.
“Greetings, Chengzhu,” Xie Lian said. “Apologies for the intrusion. Actually, I’ve been gifted to you by the heavens as a…”
His voice caught.
“I mean, to—”
Xie Lian’s cheeks suddenly felt hot, and his palms grew damp under the rope binding his arms together. Beneath Hua Cheng’s piercing stare from above, he lost his cool.
“As your,” he stammered. “Um, as—well—if you want, I’ve been sent to you as—I’m here to be your—”- Language:

Real World Cultural and Linguistic Influences in Delicious in Dungeon by room_surprise
Fandoms: ダンジョン飯 | Dungeon Meshi | Delicious in Dungeon

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
It still seemed weird to Miko that you could drive for hours in America and be inside the same region. In the early days of her exchange here, she'd asked about it a lot. "Are we still in Nevada?" "Still Nevada?" "Still Nevada?" and the bleak desert landscape had stretched on and on and on, into the horizon and, apparently, forever.
[Miko and Bulkhead take a trip out to a drive-in theatre for a school project. Miko, at least, has a very educational night.]
