Characters and Concepts

Characters and concepts

Multiple races exist in Dungeon Meshi. The five major races are Tallmen/人間トールマン (baseline humans), Half-foot/ハーフ フット (Halflings), Dwarves, Gnomes and Elves, but a few other species also exist which we won’t get into here.

Party:
Laios - ライオス - tallman warrior

Falin - ファリン - tallman priest (well, wizard, technically)

Marcille - マルシル - elf wizard

Chilchuck - チルチャック - halffoot thief

Senshi - センシ - dwarf warrior/chef

Wasn’t expecting the last couple of pages, quite dark! :sweat_smile:

This week I learned 亜人(あじん) is not アジア(じん).

Wait is this supposed to be tagged as a book club? @Jintor

I fixed it.

Maybe that’s why noone’s been commenting this week. :stuck_out_tongue:

Huh, I thought only the OP could adjust the thread categories

Oh I just realized reading your comment that it’s not 悪人 which is how I read it…

I really liked the expression 鴨が葱を背負ってくる, so I shared it with my husband, who promptly sent me this:

When I was a kid it never occurred to me to wonder why it was carrying that spring onion :exploding_head:

I also liked the page flip from 47 to 48 :grin:

This is double-mind blown for me because I had always thought that he was carrying a leek :sweat_smile: (doesn’t help that in French he’s called duck-artichoke)

Leek is 西洋ネギ in Japanese. Among several other names.

Is a leek not also a Welsh onion or am i mixing my alliums

Thanks to whoever is helping fill out the vocab list btw

Thank you for starting it each week :slight_smile:

Also as a Welsh person, Leeks and Welsh Onions are slightly different. BUT - Leeks are one of the national emblems of Wales. Ironically, welsh onions aren’t actually welsh!


Me too!

In Portuguese they call leek “French garlic”

I keep trying to comment on this chapter then getting overwhelmed. :sweat_smile: I really like everything about this so far, and even though this manga has more new vocab than anything else I’m reading I still sped through this week’s reading before starting any of my other book club reading. :two_hearts:

it is definitely a vocab overload but i’ve found the actual sentence structures and such are largely fairly straightforward which is a blessing. definitely the manga that really taught me to just pick a few words here and there to add to my SRS and move on though

Mostly it’s the academic discussion of the various carnivorous plant subspecies. Since they literally never appear again after this chapter, in this instance, I concur with “just move on”. :stuck_out_tongue:

Yeah I find this easier to read than our two previous picks. There’s a lot of vocab but a lot of it can be inferred from context or non-critical. The grammar and overall narrative are pretty straightforward too.

4 Likes

it gets a bit more of a pain in the ass in later chapters where they do ‘stop and recap’ or ‘let me explain wtf just happened’ sort of thing but that’s a ways off and by the time you get there you’re more used to the vocab

Anyone able to help with a couple of handwriting bits

page 46

I can decipher some, but not all of the text in the background here

page 50

what is the text about the reanimators (something about taking 10-20% of what you have as payment?)

For the other I just skimmed it, I read my share of monster descriptions in videogames, I didn’t feel like going that deep into the lore. The giant bat is a vampire, the giant rat has “pig like meat” I think? The goblin does something “in the interval of the foliage” (hide, presumably) and is skilled with bow and arrow, the armour is decorative and empty and you have to be careful that it doesn’t sneak behind you (maybe?) etc…

Since it’s all truncated it’s a bit tricky to parse.
