# Where does the Delicious in Dungeon manga pick up after the anime?

To continue Delicious in Dungeon after the anime, start the manga at Chapter 53, 'On Floor One' (Volume 8, roughly the 4th chapter in). That is the Return to Floor One / the Winged Lion arc. Roughly 45 chapters remain. Verified 2026-08-15 (confidence: high).

## Read this first

Mid-volume stopping point: chapter 53 sits inside volume 8, so buying vol 8 gives you three chapters you have already seen. The anime cut a lot of the Golden Country and Senshi backstory — some guides suggest rewinding to ch 46.

## What the anime covered

Manga chapters 1-52, ending on chapter 52 'Bacon and Eggs'

- **Anime status:** Season 1 concluded June 2024. Season 2 confirmed for October 2027 on Netflix
- **Last aired:** S1 E24 (finale), aired 2024-06-13
- **Source status:** completed (97 chapters published)
- **English publisher:** Yen Press
- **Roughly remaining:** 45 chapters

## Notes

Manga is complete at 97 chapters / 14 volumes, so season 1 covered roughly half. Season 2 is a long way off, which makes this an unusually good time to read ahead.
