As someone who gravitates towards dialogue in storytelling—a habit that began in my teens with The Wheel of Time—I often find myself glossing over non-dialogue sections unless I'm fully engaged. This has made audiobooks my go-to; otherwise, I risk missing half the fun. I was initially skeptical about manga, fearing I wouldn't really appreciate the visual storytelling. After seeing some recommendations online, I decided to dive into "Dandadan" by Yukinobu Tatsu, for my first Manga and I am very happy that I took the plunge. "Dandadan" opens with Momo Ayase, who believes in spirits, and Ken Takakura ("Okarun"), who is convinced aliens exist. After Ayase de-escalates some bullying targeted at Okarun, they strike up a conversation and place a bet involving local haunted sites—an abandoned hospital rumored to house UFOs, and a tunnel haunted by a ghost named Turbo Granny. It turns out that both the rumors about both these locations were accurate. Despite my usual struggle with non-dialogue elements, "Dandadan" hooked me with its vivid storytelling and dynamic art. I admit I'm still learning to fully appreciate the art. I have re-read the first volume several times and I still find new things that I glossed over previously. My primary Criticism is the integration of 'adult themes.' At times, these elements feel forced, reminiscent of a teenager's exaggerated notion of maturity. The most egregious of this is the aliens attempted 'probing' of Momo Ayase. However, after the initial chapters, the content shifts towards more potty humor moments, which align better with the overall tone of the series. "Dandadan" was an excellent entry point to manga, I love the supernatural elements and the character dynamics. Despite some reservations about the explicit content, the series offers a unique blend of horror, comedy, and action. Highly recommended for those looking for something unconventional yet thoroughly entertaining. Read more
