I'm really not sure why this has so little attention thus far. It's a very cute, fun and unique manga. While I at first expected this to be a typical "dungeon time" manga, it pleasantly surprised me with it's plot and it's a new twist on the "adventurers guild, dungeon diving" type genre we've seen many times before. It really breaks free from the stereotypical plot directions the manga from these genres usually go for. The world and the dynamics in said world are surprisingly complex for how simplistic the theme's come across at a first glance.
Definitely one I'll stick around for and ... I advise you should too!

🏴 English Manga Title: Dungeon People
📖 Number of Volumes: 4 volumes (Japanese)
✒️ Author and Illustrator: Sui Hutami

**Introduction:**
... I started reading the manga after approximately the first four chapters were released. Now, having reached the latest translated chapter (Chapter 15), I can confidently say that the manga is worth reading, and I anticipate continued success in the distant future.

**Story:**
The manga revolves around the protagonist Clay, who learns survival skills in dungeons with her father. During one training session, Clay's father goes into the dungeon but doesn't return. People assume he died inside, but Clay refuses to believe that someone with her father's skills could die so easily. Determined to uncover the truth, Clay decides to explore the dungeon. What will Clay find, and what is the reason behind her father's disappearance?

**Characters:**
The manga features unique and diverse characters alongside the protagonist Clay. I appreciated the distinct characteristics of each character, as well as the comedic and endearing qualities they possess.

**Artwork:**
The manga stands out with its simple yet distinctive art style. While some may perceive it as childish, it is an appealing and beautiful form of art. The mangaka excelled in illustrating fights and clashes within the dungeon, with a standout being Clay's battle against the Minotaur on the ninth floor.

**Summary and Final Impressions:**
I truly enjoyed reading the manga. It exceeded my expectations, and despite initially underestimating it, I found it to be quite engaging. Now, for the final evaluation, I've ranked the criteria in order of importance:

✍️ Story: 7/10
An enjoyable story, but there is still room for improvement. I didn't find many flaws, and the dialogues were entertaining without unnecessary length.

👥 Characters: 7.5/10
I liked the character development and how they were introduced. The character designs and illustrations were good, although there were a few characters whose writing didn't appeal to me.

🎨 Artwork: 8/10
While the art is simple, simplicity doesn't mean poor quality. I appreciated the drawings of dungeon encounters, dungeon tools, and sword fights.
