Dandadan combines horror, humor, and wholeness. a story about two friends on a mission to exorcise Yokai and defeat aliens.
Dandadan is wholesome in its portrayal of characters; no one ends up being particularly unlikeable. Even the “villains” of the story have good motivation. It is truly amazing when an author can make you feel for a villain.
The horror elements are so creepy and unique to this sort of action manga. Yokai and aliens resemble something out of your nightmare. which makes them excellent villains but also feels extra harsh when you hear their backstories.
Comedy is subjective, and you will have to read the manga to see if you like this sort of humor.
Also, there is some real girl power here. This is definitely a shonen-esque story, but it’s not limited to typical shounen cliches. This is because, unlike typical Shueisha manga, which gets printed in Shonen Jump, this is their online-only manga plus series. This gives authors more freedom to tell their stories.
