Dandadan

Dandadan

A manga about a high school girl who gains psychic powers after being attacked by aliens and a high school boy who becomes cursed by the Turbo Granny curse.

We’ve discussed this on Darfox Dabbles.

As the description implies, this series has a really bizarre premise. However, despite the convoluted setup, Yukinobu Tatsu‘s fantastic art helps carry the story along. Tatsu was a former assistant under Chainsaw Man‘s Tatsuki Fujimoto and it totally shows. The action scenes are dynamic yet easy to parse. It’s easy to see why the manga community was excited for this new series.

Unfortunately Dandadan isn’t available legally in English. It is on MANGA Plus but only in Spanish. Hopefully that means an English release is being worked on by a publisher right now, and we’ll eventually get to read it soon.
