Dandadan (Vol. 2) - Yukinobu Tatsu

In Dandadan Vol. 2, Yukinobu Tatsu pushes the boundary of imagination even further. The story picks up right after the explosive events of volume one. Momo Ayase and Okarun continue navigating their bizarre new world—one where aliens, ghosts, curses, and kinetic psychic battles are part of the norm.

Okarun’s fight to regain a certain vital part of his anatomy takes a wild turn, Momo’s spiritual powers get tested again, and their awkward (yet adorable) friendship inches toward something deeper. Meanwhile, the threats around them get more dangerous—and ridiculous.

Packed with eccentric humor, jaw-dropping action scenes, and surprisingly heartfelt moments, this volume delivers on every front.
