Searching for her lost father in a fantasy dungeon, master thief Clay meets the dungeon’s caretaker to learn its secrets in this intriguing new manga. Clay was trained by her father to be an expert member of the thieves’ guild. Since her father disappeared three years ago, she’s been using her skills to search for him in a dungeon filled with goblins, a Minotaur, and all manner of other dangerous creatures. When Clay reaches deeper than anyone ever has before, she meets the caretaker of the dungeon. To her surprise, Clay is invited to join the staff! And thus begins Clay’s new job–to learn the inner workings and behind-the-scenes secrets of the dungeon from the inside.

WHAT THE HECK DOES “DUNGEON-ESQUE” MEAN ANYWAY? Clay was an explorer of the dungeon like any other, till she was rather forcibly hired by its magical administrator Belle as an assistant. Now she’s supposed to figure out how to make the place more “dungeon-esque,” whatever that is! Along with the dwarf Rangard and his little golem helpers, they tackle the never-ending work of running the labyrinthine dungeon.

DUNGEON MANAGEMENT IS TOUGHER THAN IT LOOKS. Clay still has a lot to learn about the inhabitants of the dungeon and what it takes to run it, from how goblins reproduce to the rules for paid time off. But while for her boss, the wizard Belle, the dungeon is her whole life, Clay’s goal is still to find her father, and some of what the dungeon’s residents have to say about him is unexpected...

CLAY FINALLY FINDS SOMETHING SHE’S BEEN SEARCHING FOR. Clay's gotten used to her life working in the dungeon, placing slimes and bats, manufacturing skeletons and zombies, and even learning a bit about the darker secrets surrounding its management. Now that she feels like she understands how to use her magic power properly, she decides to try to make it all the way down to level nine...what will she find?
