November's manga read for Book of the Month is volumes 1-5 of Delicious in Dungeon!
Synopsis: In a fantasy world of dungeon exploration, guilds go out on expeditions to raid dungeons. Many hope to find the mysterious Golden Kingdom, which is said to be the treasure of a certain island dungeon. The story begins as a group of six adventurers attempt to slay a dragon; however, they are forced to escape, losing the leader's sister, Falin, to the dragon's stomach. After this failure, two members of the group leave to join another band of adventurers, leaving only the leader Laios, Chilchuck, and Marcille to grieve over Falin.
Feeling indebted to their close teammate Falin, who used magic to teleport the team outside to safety, the remainder of the team brainstorms how to get back to the dungeon level with the dragon in time to save Falin from digestion.
With the majority of their supplies left behind in the dungeon, their mission seems impossible - until Laios suggests they sustain themselves by finding food inside the dungeon. Laios has secretly wanted to eat dungeon monsters for a long time, and presents Chilchuck and Marcille with a cookbook about making meals from monsters in an attempt to convince them of his plan. They agree reluctantly, and return to the dungeon.
The story then details their travels through the dungeon, the environments, traps, and monsters they encounter, and the meals they create.
