Delicious in Dungeon and Ryoko Kui Exhibition Opens in Los Angeles Ahead of Anime Expo 2026
Great news for fans of Delicious in Dungeon (Dungeon Meshi): A special exhibition focusing on the works of series creator Ryoko Kui opens its doors in Los Angeles next month. The event, taking place ahead of Anime Expo 2026 in July 2026, promises fans an in-depth journey into the series' world.
The exhibition will feature original illustrations by Ryoko Kui, character sketches, and never-before-seen drawings from the Delicious in Dungeon universe. Additionally, special notes on the mangaka's unique creature designs and food-focused world-building throughout her career will be on display. This exhibition is organized to celebrate the success of both the manga and anime versions of the series. Delicious in Dungeon, which began its manga journey in 2014, quickly gained a large fan base and was adapted into an anime by Trigger studio in 2024. The series stands out with its unusual story about adventurers who must eat monsters to survive in a dungeon.
Although the exact location and admission fee for the exhibition have not yet been finalized, organizers will make an official announcement in the coming weeks. According to preliminary information, the event will open to visitors just before Anime Expo 2026, in late June or early July. Los Angeles is a frequently preferred hub for such events; a venue in the Little Tokyo district, which hosts Japanese pop culture festivals, is expected to be used. The exhibition will also feature other works by Ryoko Kui – such as short works like Kanna no Kanna – showcasing the mangaka's artistic development.
This exhibition for Delicious in Dungeon is a step that will excite fans ahead of the anime's second season. The production, which received high praise after the first season, could make headlines at Anime Expo 2026 with a new season trailer and additional information. The exhibition is significant not only for fans in the US but also as one of the rare Ryoko Kui events held outside Japan. If you find yourself in Los Angeles, we recommend you don't miss this exhibition; stay tuned for details!
