Summary
There’s blood on her arm, blood on the hotel sheets, a trail of it on the cheap Kazimierzan carpets leading to the door. Blood seeping into the cute little Colombian-style cocktail dress Sciurus has on beneath her shawl, soaking beneath her pretty manicured fingernails as she presses Yucatan’s jacket against Monch’s arm.
“You idiot!” she’s shouting, but there’s a wobble in her voice, a tremble to her fingers. “You absolute idiot!”
Monch is a mess, but Sciurus is unblemished, and that’s all that really matters.
(Or: Sciurus and Yucatan finally catch up to Monch after she absconds from Kjerag)

Summary
Cleisthenes of Athens got stabbed for inventing democracy. The Fates, in their infinite wisdom and terrible sense of humor, decided to give him a second chance in Terra's Minos—a "democracy" run by priests who wouldn't know genuine democratic process if it voted them out of office.
Now he's surrounded by people with horns, magic rocks that give you fantasy tuberculosis, and a political system that makes him want to scream into the wine amphora.
Time to fix democracy. Again. What could possibly go wrong?

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.
