Synopsis

After being aggressively rejected, Momo Ayase finds herself sulking when she stumbles across a boy being bullied. Saved by her rash kindness, the occult-obsessed boy attempts to speak to her about supernatural interests he believes they share. Rejecting his claims, Ayase proclaimed that she instead is a believer in ghosts, starting an argument between the two over which is real.

In a bet to determine who is correct, the two decide to separately visit locations associated with both the occult and the supernatural—Ayase visiting the former and the boy visiting the latter. When the two reach their respective places, it turns out that neither was wrong and that both the occult and ghosts do exist.

This marks the beginning of Ayase and the boy's adventure, as they attempt to fix the surreal, supernatural, and occult elements around them to return to a normal life.

Preliminary (154/? eps)

This is my favorite manga.

It combines action and comedy but never fails to hit me unexpectedly with a tearjerking story. At the time of writing this I am on chapter 153 and the recent events in the story had me so emotional.

The action never fails to surprise me Dandadan has some of the best art in the manga industry and the best art in Shonen jump in my personal opinion. The panels flow very well and are easy to understand even in a high speed fight. The fights have some very cool references that fans of other series will spot in an instant. I am ...

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (120/? eps)

Dandadan is.... fine? I guess? I came in to this series expecting something completely crazy, based on the internet's reaction to the series. And the series that I experienced was a perfunctory battle Shonen

Plot: Dandadan is still relatively new, as of the time of writing this review I had read the first 120 chapters, which I believe got me up to date with the series. Much like other early chapters of battle Shonen published by Shueisha, Dandadan feels like its still in its set up arcs. We all know these arcs, you meet the leads and the supporting cast, one after another, with maybe some ... minor bridging plot to tie these short stories together. East Blue, Black Clover's series of stories following Asta and each member of the Black Bulls one at a time, we've all seen it.
In Dandadan, these set up arcs follow poor Ken Takakura, and his quest to recover his dick and balls. Which is kind of funny, it definitely helps give the teenage boy protagonist a slightly more grounded and immediately relatable motivation. He makes a few friends, two boys and three girls. All six of them get standard Shonen power sets and they all fight monsters. Simple, effective and very derivative. Mixing the threats of aliens and yokai is a cute idea, but little has been done with the concept.
So far the plots a solid 5/10, but average isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Art: The art is... pretty good... I guess. Some of the monster designs are creative and some are just references, which is fine if not a bit dull. The page layouts flow generally well, there were few moments where I needed to go back and re-read sections due to cluttered layouts. I can tell all the girls apart, which is fairly rare for a battle Shonen, so I have to applaud the character design in the series too.
All together, the art is probably a 7/10, its clean, flows decently well, if not a bit forgettable.

Characters: Dandadan stars an awkward teen boy. Due to discovering some unseen powers, he makes new friends and challenges the mystery's of the world together..... blah blah blah...... The characters are boring. They're all standard teenage arc types, but the author is pretty good at playing them off each other in charming if ineffective ways. And of course, all three teenage girls have fallen in love with Ken. Why have they done this? Because he's the lead of the series of course.
The chaaracters are charming if not a bit predictable, soooo 5/10.

Conclusion: Dandadan is a battle Shonen. If you like battle Shonen, you'll probably like Dandadan. I generally like Dandadan, its a fairly well put together battle Shonen. It doesn't break new ground and isn't particularly creative, but its solid and didn't feel like a waste of time to read, therefore its a 6/10.

Preliminary (5/? eps)

I truly don't get anime fans and their craving for random shit. Dandadan is just random for the sake of being random, and this is what people see as a masterpiece? I can write a story like that as well, bruh.

This manga is the absurdity of Chainsaw Man coupled with the monsters and horniness of GantZ. It has toilet humor and a decent artstyle (not my personal cup of tea but I respect it). There my compliments end. I seriously don't understand what people find good about this manga. Yeah okay, it's funny I guess: haha his peepee is gone. "Gobble your schlong!". But story-wise? ...
