I read this after watching the anime cover the same story, and I was not disappointed. It has its own way of telling the story. It's definitely worth the read.
This volume starts with the Denatus to decide Bell Cranel's title as a level 2 adventurer, and proceeds to cover how Welf Crozzo joins Bell's adventuring party. It ends where light novel 5 begins, Bell's party's first dive into the middle floors of the Dungeon.
I feel like the manga does a better job of conveying exposition than the anime, such as the history of the Crozzo family, while still being a quick read. So, I feel like I understand the story better. The light novel likely has more info still, but it would take longer to read.
Also, the manga is a gold mine of reaction shots. Such as the male gods trying to choose a new nickname for Aiz followed by Loki's death glare, or the transparent jealousy on Hestia's face when she says that Bell will be "safer" with Welf in his party instead of being alone with "Miss. Supporter".
The artwork for Welf's forging scene at the end is intense.
Trickster Eric Novels gives "Is It Wrong to Try to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon? Manga Volume 7" an A+
