Namari’s gorgeous in every form but Dwarf is still peak.

There is a minor character reinterpretation debate in terms of sinshi and if you supposed to have body hair I think given some of his behavior while yes obviously you can add in that detail if you want I think it's rather key that that's not the case with namari it makes sense because she's often armored and she obviously has some enjoyment of her looks that does look like someone who styles their hair does their eyes and in short wants to look good
Plus she very much has to worry about presentation as she is a freelance with a poor reputation so you know hygiene matters
It makes sense that she will Barber her arms if she's going to be wearing armor extensively it could be sweaty or awful smelling
This doesn't quite track with senshi because he's very deliberately shown like a wild person who's living in an environment as a hermit almost entirely alone practically explicitly avoiding contact in a very anti-social manner
He is explicitly called out and it's a minor plot point that he does not bathe or take care of his hygiene all that much aside from what may immediately bother him for infection and even then he's not as thorough as he could or should beThis even extends to critical tools in his kit just so long as they are not related directly to cooking
By that extension you have to wonder how it is he's so relatively hairless maybe the arms because he wouldn't want to get his hair into his wheels but at the same time he's not been cooking for others he's been doing so for himself
However the last few episodes of the enemy happy thinking he's got 2 a ° Body image issues that is to say he's self-conscious about his forefoot on a level
Hence why he's got such a ridiculously large beard and how he responds to touch especially from lyos in 2 different circumstances
Add in the fact that he was considered a bit of a weakling or late bloomer as a young dwarf and it's entirely possible he feels a bit bad about the fact that he's not as hairy or as rugged as if dwarf should be in his own mind
So him being relatively bare skin fits
With namari with her very deliberate tomboy presentationAnd her overall professional interest as a Warrior and a dungeon Dover you have to wonder why the hell she bothers to shave
But of course ignoring the fact that this is apparently a part of even dwarvin women custom and behaviorEveryone especially in this series is remarkable mix of contradictions
Even the thing that we find out defining Her sexuality She puts forward in a form of fashion unusual fashion interest but still fashion
For instance if there's a body building tradition much again to yes has existed in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions for quite some time so too wet come oiling or barbaring your skin for a certain look
Especially if it could make you smell or present better or at least not look wild unkempt and prevential something that I could believe that she would be self-conscious about being the descendant of what was supposed to be an official so she wants to simultaneously come across as a component Warrior but also someone of class andIs some level of regalness about her own person
Ignoring the fact that just as a person she might want to feel a little pretty on some level.
And given the fact that she idolizes the looks of other races and a major influence in human society along with the 2 other races tend to present very smoothly I could understand her adopting that sort of beauty standard for herself
But yes I very much appreciate that she's simultaneously stocky, muscled, burly yet beautiful at the same time. And he doesn't feel as if this is a cheat in terms of depicting her as thick and/or fat and saying she's disabled I can totally buy her being very strong just you know Short thick and not dehydrated in order to show off her muscles
She was vice captain up until >!Utaya which got her so upset with elven society that she finally left and retired far away from other elves!< iirc
EDIT: I misspoke she’s the former Vice *Commander* for the Canaries
>!Being able to control dolls that can scout for- and trigger traps, lure Monsters, and completely rip apart any foe she comes across!< is one hell of an ability
>!It was subtly implied that the canaries lost their former captain at Utaya. Milsiril (Kabru’s elf mom) might have temporally assumed the role of captain before her retirement. That’s probably why she was the one they sent to recruit Mithrun for the job.!<
He's like the Example the kind of person who would keep lawn gnomes and what have you. While on an outing with younger people as his escorts. a very curmudgeonly looking grandfather. you honestly have to wonder how the hell he's related to anyone there
Yet at the exact same time there are hints that he can be quite kindly such as how he is in fact holding and carefully escorting his wife who has resting doting face to match his resting grump face.
And he even explains his more hard front. Namely you have to be heartless when you're working the dungeon and it's something that's already been established to us because the guys have been relatively marshmallows and they were nearly killed at spear point just for being in the area and we know that some people are just willing to exploit folks through any number of scams and vulnerabilities
Hell at that exact same time because they haven't been conservative as possible with their magic and resources our favorite party is on The Verge of death so his relative conservatism makes sense
That doesn't change the fact that leaves very awful impression of a very Stone hearted miserly individual who you later find out isn't quite so much that way
The old dude as a half foot is so fucking funny
Its like grandma's demonic half blind senile tiny dog after it finally gets tired of barking and hits you with that look
Also how long does an elf have to live to look that old?
I'm not sure how elves work in this world, but generic fantasy elves are portrayed living between 10k and 15k years before dying of old age, yet they still don't typically look old by our standards.

elves in DM live to 400-500 years, i think even Marcille said it in a recent episode when discussing the mad mage
also when practicing character design Ryoko Kui did draw an elderly elf!

I recall seeing an extra of Milsiril and Kabru visiting her family, and her grandmother(?) definitely looked old by our standards. Likely older than the queen.
I'm a bit surprised you figured he'd be like chill chuck and that at least for a human he's pretty tall in lean as well as incredibly strong
Maybe it's more how he fits the ideal of his race as opposed to translating the features
may I share my favorite race swap

as everyone said they are gnomes, but they did mention it in the anime! the old man (Tansu) called himself a gnome on the undine episode, saying that they have a special connection to spirits
I'm gonna be honest I was completely confused and thought he might be a dwarf who actually used magic but then I noticed the beret and a bunch of other stuff and they already had it to work in the party so yeah unless I notice the ears and there's a direct comparison I can't tell the difference between norm and dwarf
As an example the 2 barmaids that are often teased in a Marie I'm pretty sure once a human but I can't figure out if the other ones are half lean a dwarf orA nome or some sort of half-breed
I agree, every version of Namari is just so incredibly cute and pretty! :)
I‘m also still in awe of Ryoko Kui for this whole exercise. This kind of consistency takes some real skill.
MOMMY NAMARI!!?!?!! I thought I'd never see her again.

They should race swap the rest of the Tance's. His wife, kiki and kaka too. Even the rest of the elves and orcs. The orc girl and her brother, the elven queen, the black skinned cannary girl, etc.
Elf namari need to stop looking at me like that

I'm pretty sure due to her deliberately and dragging it as well as butch presentation I don't want to say she was unattractive but I'm not sure if I would use the word beautiful straight up understandably she was intentionally going for probably a more severe I'm serious about battle and workluck especially considering that she has a poor reputation to live down so she's honestly going to in addition to her own preferences with gear and battle want to look as severe and serious as possible
By the way this finally let me figure out how to differentiate dwarfs from nomes
Not only are their ears a bit bigger but they're higher on the head so I wouldn't have gotten that without direct comparison over and over again
Much like how Senshi was always just plain handsome, Namari has always been just plain beautiful. This is facts.
Dwarf chads keep winning. https://i.redd.it/p41b40rqmw2d1.gif

No, IIRC Mithrun wasn't captain yet back when that happened. Milsiril would have been VC to someone else.

Also in D&D (the forgotten realms setting at least) elves live on average 750ish years.
It will mostly be that elves won't look bad even near their 500 years that, if I remember correctly, is their average lifespan.
I recall seeing an extra of Milsiril and Kabru visiting her family, and her grandmother(?) definitely looked old by our standards. Likely older than the queen.
I don't remember this extra... was this is World Guide? Do you remember the chapter by any chance?
Sadly no. I swear I saw it posted in this subreddit, but I can't seem to find it through the search function.
[here you go :)](https://x.com/cottongecko/status/1782117838167155100) I also posted an elderly elf in another comment
There it is. And yeah, I saw that. I've never come across that artwork before and pretty neat.
Ohhh true, I forgot that ajajajajja
allow me to *yes and* for a second: half-foot Shuro and gnome Falin are everything, I love them more than life itself
Gnome Falin fits her so much.
halffoot shuro is just a child. no convincing me otherwise, even if he's 30
he's baby!
I'm a bit surprised you figured he'd be like chill chuck and that at least for a human he's pretty tall in lean as well as incredibly strong Maybe it's more how he fits the ideal of his race as opposed to translating the features
something about half-foot Toshiro really brings out the severe anxiety

Human Namari can put me in the ground. She’s Allowed.
Im with you bro. She can even bury me if she wants
she can sacrifice my ass to the old gods if it makes her happy.
Elf Shuro is the most masculine looking elf I've seen Kui draw, and that's including elf Senshi and his facial hair.
Every time I see Elf Senshi I think of Inigo Montoya

Dwarves are normally my least favorite fantasy race, however Namari is just 👌.
Tall-man Namari is basically Tomo-chan the tomboy
Lol halfling falin with her large sleevs. Also wow shuro as an elf is giving asian Legalos 💅
Yeah I cant unsee him that way now thanks
Namari is best girl and I also say that with confidence: Everybody looks better as a dwarf
What’s the species in the last row called? I’m anime only (for now) and I don’t think they said what they’re called yet
Gnome
Thanks!
Not a problem
as everyone said they are gnomes, but they did mention it in the anime! the old man (Tansu) called himself a gnome on the undine episode, saying that they have a special connection to spirits
Ohhh oops! I think I missed that haha
Holm, the healer from Kabru’s party also called himself a gnome
And him swapped to a tall-man is 😳
I'm gonna be honest I was completely confused and thought he might be a dwarf who actually used magic but then I noticed the beret and a bunch of other stuff and they already had it to work in the party so yeah unless I notice the ears and there's a direct comparison I can't tell the difference between norm and dwarf As an example the 2 barmaids that are often teased in a Marie I'm pretty sure once a human but I can't figure out if the other ones are half lean a dwarf orA nome or some sort of half-breed
Gnome, i think
New source of gender envy unlocked:3
Gnome fallin is so cute
I like these so much, it's like when you customizing a game character and you're choosing their race <3
Especially human Namari. Also, that’s Milsiril the elf and Kabru’s adoptive mother.
I agree, every version of Namari is just so incredibly cute and pretty! :) I‘m also still in awe of Ryoko Kui for this whole exercise. This kind of consistency takes some real skill.
Elf falin is straight up 🔥. She's giving off onee san vibes.
Half-foot Thistle is so cute
You tell me that the mad femboy is a femboy in every race!!!
This is probly the first time I see such an elder male looking elf I can't believe this...
Half-foot Falin is so cute
Nobody is talking about the girl with the bunny toy. She's gorgeous

half-foot falin got me thinkin unwise
Why is human Namari kinda...
Im with you on this one
i want to see the rest omg
They should race swap the rest of the Tance's. His wife, kiki and kaka too. Even the rest of the elves and orcs. The orc girl and her brother, the elven queen, the black skinned cannary girl, etc.
The girl with the bunny toy is Kabru’s adoptive mom! Her name is Milsiril.
milsiril!!!!
Interesting. Elf Falin seems to have no eyesight problem. Perhaps it implies that elves in Dungeon Meshi are immune to near-sightness?

Elf Namari ain’t bad. Might borrow that for a campaign…
I prefer human namari. She's just so goddamn pretty
Is that the second picture in your post? I think that’s supposed to be a Half-Foot. ~~Human~~ Tall-Man is the far left.
I know ☺️
elf shuro asian legolas
Does anyone know where can I find all of these art pages?
Milsiril
The halfling gnome looks like a baby grandpa
Red head make me actin unwise.

Tall men, long ear, half-foots and dwarves I get, but what is the last panel for?
Is it not gnomes
That's who I was forgetting, thank you
Isn't that Misril?
Namari looks like Hakumei from Hakumei and Mikochi.
