Reviews

[Ricarda]

I personally don't think too much of the over-the-top, batshit crazy action scenes, but the calmer moments in between are really doing it for me. Like, I love it when these characters just sit and eat together. And how everyone was going out of their way to help Jiji in this volume? God, how wholesome.

[Dario Boen]

Gotta appreciate that Beethoven makes a guest appearance 😫 we love that

[Blake the Book Eater]

I love the little found family that they are! It’s so sweet and their interactions are perfect.

[Štěpán]

Exorcisim using metal. That is my jam. As last volume was action heavy, this has much more character moments and small interactions, which are so cute and full of life. It makes my heart smile.

[António]

This one is just silly and the story is going nowhere.

[♡ retrovvitches ♡]

ridiculously good 🤧

[ᶻz ⋮ layla ⸝⸝ (ia)]

cute momokarun moments but other than that pretty mid

[R.A.]

There's always time for a headbang!
Especially when you're attacked by classical composers and need a counter

[Vinicius]

Um volume um pouco mais parado, mas ainda bom e bem divertido, que conta com o encerramento do arco do povo subterrâneo (com uma revelação interessante) e iniciando um arco de treinamento do Okarun e da Aira.

No entanto, entre esses arcos, acompanhamos o Jiji tendo que lidar com o Olho Demoníaco dentro do seu corpo, pois o mesmo não fora exorcizado, e devido a força dessa entidade, ele pode se manifestar facilmente no corpo do Jiji.

Para proteger Momo e Seiko, tendo em vista que Jiji está morando com elas, o Okarun e Aira vão morar na residência de Seiko para montarem uma força tarefa e tentar conter o Olho Demoníaco caso ele se manifeste.

Em paralelo a isso, devido ao Olho acabar se manifestando em alguns momentos, a casa é destruída e por isso Momo decide arrumar um emprego para ajudar na manutenção da casa.

I LOVE THIS MANGA SO MUCH. I love the focus on the characters this volume. The expansion of momo and okaruns relationship is so WHOLESOME AND ROMANTIC. I LOVE THEM. Also love turbo granny. She is an icon and diva. Jiji and his empathy towards the yokai in him was so wholesome to me and I just know he can learn to control it. Love the training ish arc near the end too. Okarun will get stronger. I know it

[Michelle]

There isn't as much action until the last chapter, which is a training fight. Most of this volume is the character growth and interaction as they try to control the Evil Eye yokai Jiji has. They all move in together, train, and Momo gets a job. It's mostly fun, but again in a fight, Momo's shirt gets ripped open, and that page was weird. Then Jiji's face after he sees how badly he hurt his friends.

Poor babies 😭

Series: Dandadan Ch. 50-58
Rating: 4 stars - It was really good

In this volume the gang goes back to school while trying to figure out how to deal with Evil Eye in Jiji’s body. I enjoyed this volume. It was interesting to see how all the different people change into their forms, and watching them learn to control it.

Jiji’s is very interesting because it's so easy for him to switch to Evil Eye, controlling the change into Evil Eye isn't easy. It will be very interesting to see how Evil Eye will play a role in future fights or if Jiji will ever really be able to control him.

This volume ends with Turbo Granny and Okarun sneaking into a building so she can train him to be stronger. It will be interesting to see where this battle leads.

[Bryan Burton]

A heavy metal exorcism and a classical music battle. Awesome.

[Alaska Lee]

okarun me motivó a hacer ejercicio, si lo digo.

[Mohammad Anas]

4.5 ⭐

[Sophia Paul]

im loving this little group. i love all the aliens and ghost and the main humans and i love jiji and aira and okarun and momo and granny and milk alien. sorry i LOVE THEM - also love the aira okarun little arc we are gonna get - i just hope okarun gets his ball back soon

[aamna]

i apologize Aira , i wasn’t familiar with your game

[James DeSantis]

Dandadan Volume 7 continues to impress. The relationship between Momo and Kenji is genuinely endearing, their chemistry is undeniable (even that little hand-holding scene!). However, the central conflict of this volume revolves around the compelling struggle to save their friend from the terrifying Evil Eye transformation.

I appreciated the deliberate pacing here, which allowed for some welcome character exploration alongside the series' signature blend of horror and humor. And speaking of humor, the maid outfit sequence was pure Dandadan gold. If you've enjoyed the series' unique mix of genres and its engaging characters, Volume 7 is another fantastic volume.

[Mizuki]

I can't enjoy this series much because I don't really like the main characters and don't care for them at all.

Mr. Shrimp and Turbo Granny are the only characters I like.

The only fun part is when the dead classic music folks show up.

[MarinaLawliett]

vaya tomazo!!! todo lo que necesitaba tbh

[Alissa]

I do love the JiJi- Evil Eye dilemma. And the artwork in these is so incredibly good! Also the bit where Okarun pushes Jiji away from Momo is *chefs kiss.*

[Jesus Flores]

Los primeros 3 cuartos son sobre el tema de Jiji y MaldeOjo y los problemas que causa. Lo del exorcismo esta super.

5 stars aqui

Luego esta lo de Momo y su trabajo como maid. divertido.

Y al final tenemos la primer mitad de la aventura con los fantasmas de musica clasica.
Entiendo que la intencion es generar un cliffhanger, pero no me gusto que partieran esta parte. Cuanta maldad.

4 stars

[Annie]

Turbogranny Is hilarious I love her hahahah

[bibi]

Alright this volume was amazing! It didn't felt repetitive as I mentioned before, it's probably one of my favorites. I'm loving the way this is developing and the characters as well. Let's see what comes next!
The next chapters are already out so I'll continue to read and when the volumes are published I'll update here with my brief review as always, until then I'll just write in my notes about it :))

[Patricia Q]

Loved the Bonus Turbo Granny at the end. So damn sweet.

[Liz (Quirky Cat)]

Summary:

It all started as a little bet. Each wanted to prove the existence of the supernatural to their new friend, and neither was willing to listen. This quickly turns to chaos as a haunted tunnel and horny aliens get thrown into the mix.

The attempt to save Jiji and his family home isn't going well. In fact, it's safe to say that these two friends have never been in more danger. They'll have to get creative if they want to survive what is to come.

Review:

Holy cats. Dandadan Vol. 7 is a whirlwind of events. We have three characters (four? Should I count Granny Cat?) fighting for their lives, all while dozens of antagonists run around, get in the way, and try to kill everyone else. It's a chaotic mess.

In other words, it's Dandadan in a nutshell. The beginning of this volume leans more into the action/drama of the plot, but we do get back to that comedy baseline by the end. Since I love that balance, I'm not complaining!

I do wonder how big of a role Jiji will play going forward. The addition before him was hardly around for this arc, so we'll have a rotating cast (outside of Momo and Okarun, that is). I think that could work well, but we'll have to see what the author has in mind.

Highlights:
Horror/Science Fiction Manga
Comedy
Supernatural
Sci-Fi versus Fantasy

Life caught up with me for a while so I hadn't read a Dandadan TPB in a while. It was no problem getting back on the horse and I was pleased to see that it was super easy to pick up on that great character chemistry almost instantly.
This book is entirely focused on trying to find a way to contain, control, or exercise the Evil-Eye. My favorite bit of which was how all these cursed kids are now living dormitory style in the shrine and doing weird daily life stuff. I really like that Tatsu is able to grow his characters together rather than do what many manga do which is once the main cast has been established, throw in a random character every volume or so to help keep things fresh, but usually only causes character and plot bloat. So far I'm liking how each new character has been mapped with the other protagonists and it makes the little details a joy to see and or read.

This book also makes good use of a musical or rhythmic theme and has a highly amusing training battle!

For you romantic types there are some baby steps here too that are just too sweet for words! Love this series!

[Victor The Reader]

The outcome of the Evil Eye’s bonding into Jiji sees him in an unforeseen situation that flips his bodily behavior when touched with cold water. The gang’s attempt to exorcise Jiji hits a snag when he doesn’t want the Evil Eye to be hurt as he believes that he’s a victim.

After the previous fight, Okarun attempts to become more stronger with the unexpected help of Turbo Granny but the two and Airi get into a very lively and note-raining confrontation with a sextet of ghost composters that look very familiar.

The bonus story is a sweet and cozy one that sees Turbo Granny unexpectedly doing a good deed.

A (100%/Outstanding)

[Jenny Clark]

Just as crazy as the others, but feels like the plot is going nowhere right now, as well as character moments taking a back seat. Still fun though!
