Anyway, when I saw that panel being shared on FB, it surprised me to learn that Izutsumi is more cat and less human. Like 80% cat, 20% human. I thought it was the other way around. A human Izutsumi was imbued with a cat soul. Like Falin’s dragon/chimera merging. Turns out it was a cat yokai with a small human soul imbued in it.

Izutsumi herself is very young, volatile, and hasn’t had too much experience (beyond early bad ones she internalized, and later better ones she was reluctant to with Shuro’s group. As far as Dungeon Meshi goes, I think she works fitting in because of how varyingly prominent all the characters are, what with just about very character and all ...

2024年1月23日 · Izutsumi is the perfect "if a cat was a person" character. She embodies the personality traits of a typical, bad-tempered housecat in ways that feel so genuine and accurate. Her body language is on point in ways other artists don't manage - details like her pointing all 4 limbs at the ground when the group is falling

2024年4月4日 · She would've had to work seriously hard to gain Izu's trust to even get close enough to pet, knowing Izutsumi. They never become owner and pet but create a sort of mutual bond. Being a stray though, it'd have been easy for her to get scooped up and kidnapped in the middle of the night to be used for the experiment to turn her into the form that ...

Izutsumi thought she needed to be a “human” to be loved and then she learns that she was always human and there was nothing wrong with her and she has people who love her who would care if she were gone. All packaged in the idea that the archetype of the selfish loner is childish, and comparing it to a child refusing to eat their veggies.

Senshi scolding her is also hilarious And Laius playing with sleeping Izutsumi is what any of us would do in that situation

Very cute! I know Ryoko Kui has penned some modern day AU comics like Senshi and Izutsumi stopping to get burgers on a hot day, so it’s nice to see the doting uncle/spoiled niece dynamic expanded on Edit: the comic in questions:

AFAIK, there's speculation that Izutsumi comes from the Dungeon Meshi equivalent of the Ainu, an indigenous tribe in Japan. This is based on the clothing that Izutsumi's mother wears in the succubus chapter. There's real-life tension between the Ainu identity and the Japanese identity.
