Dadadadan is a story of friendship, a waifu called Nagul, being a loner, and breaking a window a couple times.
If you know me even a tiny little bit, you probably know a simple fact: I adore idiots. I wish I was exaggerating, but an idiot character is an endearing character for me. It's automatic. I do not get a choice nor a say in the matter.
And this manga is completely full of idiots.
Our trio of leads are terrible with ladies, each of them for their own reason. Mikami hates them with a passion and somehow manages to have rights even as a misogynist, Mina
...
literally doesn't give a shit if the girl has more than two dimensions, and Shiro is simply a pure angel who gets shy to the point of fainting. They are idiots. And I love them.
Each chapter is actually fairly long, normally around 40 pages each. MAL lists 30, but only 23 are actually full chapters, the rest being extras and way shorter. A lot of the chapters are selfcontained, usually starting with a girl (or, rarely, boy) asking our lovely protagonists for help and forcing them to save them even after they refuse. The last storylines deviate from this pattern, this change starting around the time we get backstories and stuff.
The art is really sharp. Kinda stylized, reminds me of another favorite of mine (easy to find) but also of shoujo goodness. Long legs, energetic poses, pretty eyes, dumb chibis. Good stuff, in a nutshell.
This is a slice of life at it's core (which I adore), but also a comedy. So the obvious question is: Is it funny?
It's hilarious.
This manga is great. From timing to reactions to funny background events, I have cackled out loud like a maniac way more times that what I am comfortable with. I loved this dumb manga to bits.
Listen, if you feel like you may like this, read it. I found this by mere chance and I loved it so, so much. Just give it a shot if you feel like it, I for one think it's worth it.
Do it for Nagul, poyo.
P.D.: I found myself identified with a lot of the "Guys like these are the worst!" segments even though I am not even a guy. Maybe... I'm an idiot too?!
