Dandadan: A Supernatural Adventure Awaits in North America

April is here, and with it comes a new wave of exciting anime and manga releases in North America. Among these releases is the highly anticipated series Dandadan, a supernatural adventure that has captured the hearts of fans worldwide. In this post, we’ll delve into the world of Dandadan and explore what makes it a must-read for fans of the genre.

What is Dandadan?

Dandadan is a manga series written and illustrated by Yukinobu Tatsu, known for his work as a former assistant to Tatsuki Fujimoto, the creator of Fire Punch and Chainsaw Man. The series began serialization in Shueisha’s Shonen Jump on April 6, 2021, and has since gained a significant following for its unique blend of supernatural and sci-fi elements, coupled with a fresh sense of humor and fast-paced action.

The Story of Dandadan

Dandadan follows the story of Momo Ayase, a high school girl who firmly believes in ghosts but dismisses the existence of aliens. Her life takes a dramatic turn when she crosses paths with a boy who holds the opposite belief—he’s obsessed with extraterrestrials but denies that ghosts are real. The two engage in a heated debate, ultimately making a bet: each will visit a place associated with the other’s belief—Ayase to an alien hotspot and the boy to a haunted location. To their shock, both discover that aliens and ghosts exist, marking the start of their surreal and dangerous adventure.
