The invasion arc has been going on for a hot minute, though maybe it just feels that way to me because I’ve had to wait volume by volume. Anyway, Dandadan Vol. 14 dives right back into the thick of things, and I feel like it’s all finally starting to wrap up. And yes, I am still looking forward to seeing this all play out in the anime. It’s going to look spectacular.
It seems like the introduction of new characters always kicks off some sort of wild supernatural or paranormal event. Vamola kicked off this event, begging the question: Is this the longest arc so far? I’m too lazy to go back and count, but it feels comparable to Jiji’s arc. Poor Kinta (has anyone ever said that before?) didn’t get much time before jumping to the next character.
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?
Wow, there’s a lot one could say about this volume! Dandadan Vol. 11 is full of action, character development, and more. It starts right in the middle of a battle, with Momo fighting for her life alongside an unlikely group of allies.
Ah, yes, I missed the chaos of this series. Dandadan Vol. 10 continues a familiar story but throws many new twists in the mix. Starting with Vamola (introduced in the last volume, I believe), plus a new supernatural problem, courtesy of a curse and a mirror.
Man, I really love Dandadan. This series has quickly become one of my favorites, if not my absolute favorite of all time. I wasn't expecting that, but I'm also not complaining. Dandadan Vol. 9 is another out-of-pocket addition to the series, and I'm here for it.
Every volume, I’m blown away by how creative this series is. Dandadan Vol. 8 does not disappoint. It’s another chaoticly fun addition to the series, and I loved every second of it. I don’t know how Yukinobu Tatsu keeps surprising readers, but he does!
Holy cats. Dandadan Vol. 6 is a whirlwind of events. We have three characters (four? Should I count Granny Cat?) fighting for their lives, all while dozens of antagonists run around, get in the way, and try to kill everyone else. It's a chaotic mess.
How does this series keep finding new ways to up the ante yet stay playful? Dandadan Vol. 6 is just as chaotic and dangerous as the previous volumes—if not more so. Once again, our favorite characters deal with evils they don't know or comprehend. It's just a normal day for them, huh?
Another chaotic adventure! I'll admit that parts of Dandadan Vol. 5 were a bit more tense than usual (think of Momo's first encounter with the aliens, and you'll have a close enough idea). I didn't love it, but the stakes had to be set, right?
