Summary:

It all started as a little bet. Each wanted to prove the existence of the supernatural to their new friend, and neither was willing to listen. This quickly turns to chaos as a haunted tunnel and horny aliens get thrown into the mix.

The stakes have never been higher. The team is facing off against an incredibly powerful force, and things are not looking good. To make matters worse, they’re fighting with a man down, but hopefully that will change soon.

Review:

Man, Dandadan always finds new ways to up the ante, I’ll give it that! Dandadan Vol. 12 is a heavy-hitting volume that isn’t afraid to push each character to their limit. There’s an alien invasion in the works, everyone is at their limit, and both grandmas are too far away to help. That could spell disaster, right?

I was on the edge of my seat while reading Dandadan Vol. 12. Thankfully, I also had Dandadan Vol. 13 in my hands, so I was able to read both volumes back to back. No, I am not looking forward to the wait for the next volume. I may have to cave and start reading it by chapter; we’ll see.

The art alone makes this volume worth reading, but the tension and battles are obviously also worth following along with. I honestly can’t wait to see this happen in the anime, with those vibrant colors. It’s going to look so good.

While the focus is primarily on the action, there are a few moments for character development and emotional scores. Momo’s cute little note, Okarun learning something new from Turbo Granny, and Kinta realizing he’s been left on the outs. All of these moments hit differently, but still hit hard.

Highlights:

  • Horror/Science Fiction Manga
  • Comedy
  • Supernatural
  • Sci-Fi Vs Fantasy
