There’s not just one protagonist in Delicious in Dungeon, there’s a bunch of them. And the best thing is, all of them are adults.
After one of the adventurers gets eaten by the Red Dragon in a dungeon, the rest of the party is eager to save her. They’ve run out of food and energy, but they can’t waste much time looking for it somewhere else. So the best way to feed themselves without wasting any time and money is to cook monsters in the dungeon.

Kaiju No. 8 (2024)
Kafka’s just 32 years old, but the rest of the characters call him an old man. He is dreaming of joining the Defence Force, an organization that battles huge monsters called kaiju.
However, his abilities aren’t enough, and he’s left with the unsatisfying job of a sweeper, someone who cleans up the remains of the kaiju. But his life is about to change significantly when one of the kaiju forces its way in through Kafka’s mouth and turns the man into a hybrid.
Seems like our list is full of fresh series, but what can we say? 2024 is really the year of adult protagonists.
Sung Jinwoo is notorious for being the weakest hunter in the world. If he’s on a mission to a dungeon, it means the task is going to be a piece of cake for others.
But a new mission turns out not to be what everyone expected. When things go terribly wrong, there aren’t many survivors, but Jinwoo is lucky to be one of them. When he wakes up in a hospital, a mysterious screen appears in front of him and offers him to become a Player in an enigmatic game.
To be honest, we’re a bit dishonest with this one, since one of the leads is a school student. But fear not, another one is 58 years old, and you’ll definitely see some relatable issues in his life.
Ichirou is an old man going through a difficult time. His health is not so great anymore, there seems to be no connection within his family, and his life is mundane and boring.
But don’t worry, his existence is about to become much more entertaining, when he’s turned into a somewhat cyborg. The only catch, he’s not the only one.
Currently airing remake of Spice and Wolf might also be a good choice for someone who’s tired of school students. On top of that, it can teach you a lot about economics, which will be great for an adult life.
Holo is a powerful wolf deity who used to help people with harvest. But a lot of time has passed, and her help is no longer needed. Lawrence is a merchant, who’s just trying to live his life. When the two meet, they become business partners, and an exciting adventure begins.
