Edgerunners peaked episode 2 for me for exactly this reason: the overflowing level of manic intensity.

Goddamn, why didn't anyone tell me that Spy X Family was adorable and heartwarming enough to cause grave physical distress. Holy shit I am so here for that. Doesn't hurt that Endo's plotting is impressively meticulous and his ability to turn on a dime to switch genres within the same work is kinda wild, honestly.
I'm appreciate Endo's own personality shining through here and there. Of course writer speeches in comics of any sort are usually canned disruptions to the story - and often embarrassing - but Endo seems like that rare writer-creature, someone who actually knows what's up and who can weave that into his stories reasonably well? Sure, he's still a traditional mangaka laying it on with the internal soliloquies and a healthy dollop of melodrama, but he's getting as good value out of the trope as I've seen anywhere else.
Reminds me of It's a Wonderful Life; something you remember as joyful and uplifting, supposedly to the point of being hackneyed, but a story which can only exist as a veneer built over a ruined house of darkness, suffering, and pain. Flowers on a grave, as it were. That also makes it subversive as fuck, and I do like me some subversive writing as well.
So... adorable AND subversive? Well damn.

Delicious in Dungeon is a good Manga. Ryoko Kui is a master of art, storytelling, and humour. You should read it.
