Dandadan has been running in Jump+ since April 2021. The author Yukinobu Tatsu is the former assistant of Chainsaw Man / Fire Punch author Tatsuki Fujimoto.

Momo Ayase

Kind-hearted stubborn hothead, she believes in ghosts and is obsessed with the actor Ken Takakura.

Ken Takakura

Has no relation to the actor. Bullied annoying self-hating otaku who's fanatical about aliens and UFOs.

Dodoria Santa

Ayase's grandmother. Extremely competent when it comes to ghosts or her psychic powers. Layabout otherwise.

Ken Takakura

Does not appear in this manga. He passed away in 2014.



Check it out, it's pretty good.

It's being officially released in english on MangaPlus.

Also it's getting an anime, releasing in 2024

Only good things will come
to someone like
you.
The art is great, the action is drawn really dynamically, and there's some cool creative paneling a la Chainsawman but that's where the similarity ends. It feels really shallow but there's only 7 chapters out. The first chapter was also pretty gross which kills most of my enthusiasm for this. I'll probably check back in to see where the story goes when more is released but talk about bad first impressions.

This poo poo is loving insane and needs an anime ASAP

The mother loving Flatwoods Monster is a deep rear end cut for a manga, especially in just the second chapter

also Ken’s Okarun’s monster form looks cool as gently caress ngl

This series is high energy fun, good art, and now I can officially say it has an adorable couple. This kind of chapter demands being read in two-page mode.

^^^ if you’re gonna post a panel from it, then AT LEAST mention that another new chapter is out and post a link to it, drat. this ain’t hard


“YOU HAVEN’T EVEN SEEN IT!!”

yeah let’s keep it that way, thanks.

like I get that a ghost stealing a man’s junk is an unusual situation where a ghost expert might need to verify whether he has it or not, but you’re a grown rear end adult and the “man” in this case is an underage child. if you need to know that poo poo THAT BAD then take the kid to a medical professional and have THEM check it out. hell they’d do a better job at it than you anyway, since they can identify if other parts that you don’t even know to check for are broken or missing too.

This is definitely not a lie



Starting reading this and really binged through it in one sitting. Huge fan of the art and the relationship between the two protags is really charming, even in such early stages. I look forward to seeing how this develops.


Jesus that last chapter was really a turn though.
