Kodansha’s K MANGA service recently revealed a new addition to its simulpub lineup in RiverSlan’s Dungeon Elf: What’s a Dungeon without Treasure Chests?. Those looking to check it out can read the first six chapters now, with new chapters to be added simultaneously with the Japanese launch around the sixth of each month after.
The manga first debuted in Kodansha’s Good! Afternoon magazine on July 5, 2024, and the first collected volume is set to hit stands on January 7, 2025. Here’s how Kodansha describes it:
Dungeon Elf Plot
A question that even the most ardent of RPG lovers struggle to answer: Why are there treasure chests placed so conveniently throughout the dungeons? In the grass fields of the Forest of Beginnings, in deadly realms where even the greatest heroes must be prepared to face total annihilation, and even in people’s homes―there, treasure chests sit, aiding unwitting adventurers and maintaining the world’s balance. This is the story of someone, unbeknownst and unnoticed by anyone, who carries those chests.
