One of the best anime series of the year is easily Delicious in Dungeon, a delightful fantasy series that’s all about diving into dungeons and turning the monsters therein into scrumptious meals.

While you can grab each of the 14 manga volumes individually, you can also grab the entire run at once with the upcoming Delicious in Dungeon: The Complete Box Set when it arrives on December 10. Fans can preorder the collection now at Amazon.
