Dandadan, Vol. 19

ダンダダン [Dan Da Dan] #19

by Yukinobu Tatsu

A nerd must fight powerful spirits and aliens all vying for the secret power of his “family jewel,” so who better to fight alongside him than his high school crush and a spirit granny?!

Momo Ayase and Okarun are on opposite sides of the paranormal spectrum regarding what they’ll believe in and what they won’t. Their quest to prove each other wrong leads them down a path of secret crushes and paranormal battles they’ll have to participate in to believe!

The Fairy-Tale Card notices Zuma’s wavering feelings and attempts to escape from the cursed trunk. Turbo Granny asks Rin, who is waiting on the outside, to use Mai’s power to get them out of the trunk, but Mai refuses! Instead, she transforms Rin into an idol and tells her she must save everyone through her song. Meanwhile, as the Fairy-Tale Card makes its escape, the trunk’s inner world begins to collapse!

Don't even try reading this CRAZY manga if you aren't a DERANGED LUNATIC that commits COOL LARCENY and TAX EVASION. Don't even TRY, kiddo.

I really enjoyed this volume’s contents and story progression, but the author had to go and draw Rin like that and it is quite disappointing.

As if the unwilling magic girl wasn't enough to get me to give this five stars, I also was gifted a titular reference and implications of granny+granny yuri??????? And baseball pt 2 ofc

Ngl why is count saint germain kinda…… but also turbo granny come back😭

[CK · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the best volume of manga I have ever read but simultaneously I feel like the author reached into my chest and ripped my heart out. The culmination of the Danmara arc was so exciting, with a new anti-hero, new friendships, one of the most gut wrenching departures I have ever seen, and finally someone asking the question about the title of the series. I’m taking a pause for now but can’t wait to come back to these characters ❤️

Because it's been so long since I read the last volume, this one felt like it started in the middle of nowhere (though it didn't take too long to remember!)- I still don't really know the intentions of Count Saint Germain (yes, he is a collector...but like what else?). I can't image things are just going to end like that though. As much as I like the story so far, it does seem to get PRETTY ridiculous at times (and while I acknowledge that IS the charm) I hope they aren't doing this just to drag out the series- I do hope for it to end well and not just screech on forever for the sake of it :/

Another heartfelt volume with the perfect blend of humor and action. So many things are happening right now and I'm alllll for it.

AL FIN SE DECLARÓ 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Me sentí triste cuando la turbo abuela se fue 😔

Aria Shiratori is the best character in this manga. She has grown so much in the arcs that it is impossible to not just love her more in every scene.

[Laura · Rating 5 out of 5]

am I familiar with WHAT???

edit after reread:

jiji telling momo she’s precious to him 😭😭😭😭 my boy you’re precious to meeeeeeee. also. when will turbo granny come home :(

Finalmente! Mai un attimo di respiro ma i risvolti positivi ci sono!

[martamg2004 · Rating 5 out of 5]

Me ha gustado MUCHO MUCHO pero me ha dejado también con un sentimiento muy triste. No sé si es por el final o porque me quedan dos mangas para terminar lo que está escrito por ahora y ME NIEGO a que se acabe💔💔
OKARUN POR FINNNN!!! TE COSTÓ pero ha merecido la pena por completo, ha sido una declaración perfecta. Sabía que iba a ser en un momento trágico JAJAJAJAJ Momo se ha quedado pequeña, lo cual no me ha gustado nada, pero al menos como Okarun prometió volverse a declarar otra vez en el mundo real y no creo que lo haga con ella estando pequeña, osea que al menos se alargará el romance JAJAJAJ
La escena de las cien personas comiendo ha sido brutal y me ha hecho mucha gracia, y la abuela de momo agradeciendo a Okarun y a la turboabuela por ayudar a Momo ha sido muy bonita, además de Jiji hablándole a Momo sobre que cuando pasen cosas chungas acudan a los demás porque ella es importante para todos. Hablando de turboabuela…ME CAGO EN ELLA DE VERDAD ahora que le estaba pillando cariño y se pira😭😭😭Y NO NO ME NIEGO que le haya quitado los poderes a Okarun😭😭ya no va a ser un hombre smash ñam ñam me parecía tan atractivo transformado JAJAJJA, la turbo abuela tiene que volver y le tiene que devolver los poderes sino me mato.
También decir que Zuma se ha convertido en uno de mis personajes favoritos, y no espero que abandone a su grupo pero sí que tenga más apariciones en el manga. Por último decir que no me fío nada del hombre misterioso que quería matar al demonio del cesto…hay cosas que no me cuadran de él aunque por otra parte me da mucha curiosidad JAJAJJA a ver como avanza la cosa.

La historia de Unji pega muchísimo. Siento que había leído el volumen anterior hace bastante tiempo, pero aun así todo su recorrido volvió de golpe a mi mente y fue una verdadera ola de emociones. Me llegó mucho. Es un momento profundamente íntimo: su forma de seguir adelante, el vínculo con su hermano, todos esos pequeños detalles que construyen algo muy humano. En ese sentido, me encanta cómo el dibujo potencia y realza cada uno de esos sentimientos. Por otra parte, el momento de Okarun es muy lindo. Después de tanto tiempo y de tantos momentos compartidos, se siente demasiado bien que finalmente le diga a Momo que le gusta. Son tremendamente tiernos los dos. Definitivamente es un volumen tremendo. Pasan muchas cosas y todas funcionan muy bien, incluso sin entrar todavía de lleno en lo de Saint Germain, que además me parece otro personajazo con muchísimo que aportar a la historia.

[Eliot_vibes · Rating 4 out of 5]

The only reason this is four stars is because of all the strong work the author put into this volume. It has all the strong emotional family stuff that I like in this manga with some extra sick action to boot. The only thing that holds it back from being a five star volume is the fan service. The maid outfit was one thing. It was gross, and I hated it, but it was one thing. Rin's outfit is far more scantily clad and far grosser. If that is what is expected for idols to wear, I'm shocked. There were so many better option for the author to choose, and yet he didn't. I love so much about this series but it just can't shake some of the creepier aspects sometimes.

4/5 The wrap up to the fairy tale card and cursed board game ends here. We get more information about Saint Germain but there are still a ton of unanswered questions there. After 19 volume Okarun is whole. But now the gang has a new small problem. Also bikini armor idol Rin! I’m all caught up now with the Japanese volumes released but there are about 3 more volumes worth of chapters to be completely caught up.

Annnnndddd it's the end of the fairy tale cards. Good ending though. And the end of the volume, itself?

I want to tear something to shreds. What the hell? Seriously? It can't end there. No way, no how.

Yeah, yeah, I know, it likely won't, but damn.


Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews is be interested in reading my SF (Very hard SF, mind you), I'm open to requests.

Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.

We get the emotional resolution to Unji and Bega's relationship, the final fight against the fairy tale fight, some confessions of love from Okarun to Momo, and the return of both of Okarun's golden balls. This is quite a dense volume with lots of great character moments, so much so that a bunch of our other favorite characters couldn't show up. But you know what? That's okay, because Unji is a totally spectacular character that's just as many as the rest of our gang.

Oh, and with Okarun getting both his balls back, does this mean his deal with Turbo Granny is fulfilled?

[Des Fox · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wowowowow!!!

Dandadan is truly firing on all cylinders. This volume was possibly the biggest turning point for the whole series. We get a new dude who kinda feels like the secret main character who SAID THE THING and then Okarun SAID THE OTHER THING and then the THING with Turbo Granny happened and just WOW! What a zinger, what a hit, what an impeccable piece of shonen literature.

Anyone sleeping on Dandadan is officially sleeping on the single greatest active shonen work and almost certainly a future all timer when it's all said and done.

4/5 Stars (%76/100)

Pretty good ending to the Cursed Trunk Arc. Rin's power awakens, Count Saint Germain finally shows his true self and our heroes return to normal (well kind of). Zuma is a great addition in my opinion and I want to see more of him. That applies to Count Saint Germain as well. I'm also curious to see what will happen between Momo and Okarun. Good ending. I kind of forgot I started reading this so it looks like I finished it in a month...

[Vanessa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Altro volume, altro omaggio: questa volta tocca alla letteratura, con I viaggi di Gulliver. Cara Momo, chissà come ne esci da quella condizione! E tu turbononna, ma dove vai? Tanto lo sappiamo che questo è solo un arrivederci!
Comunque il "momento Okarun" durante la battaglia mi ha fatto battere il cuore, quella frase così a sorpresa e inaspettata ha reso questo volume ancora più bello di quanto già non fosse!

[Ilenia Pellegrino · Rating 5 out of 5]

Che spettacolo questo volume.
Unji è il poliziotto sono personaggi bellissimi.
OKARUN SI È DICHIARATO WAAAAAAAAA E ORA HA ENTRAMBE LE PALLEEEEEE
Madonna si è chiuso un mega cerchio e suppongo ora se ne apra un altro: spero sia quello finale perché avrebbe senso.
Mi mancherà un sacco la turbononna non può essersene andata davvero🥺

[Gabriel Quintana · Rating 4 out of 5]

Muy buen tomo, el cierre de un ciclo.

El tomo inicia con la continuación de la historia de Unji, muy buena realmente y el policía es un crack.

Al fin Okarun recupera sus joyas doradas, pero ahora Momo está diminuta y deben devolverla a la normalidad. Por último, el profesor que mencionó el Dandadan es muy misterioso, eso se pondrá muy interesante.

[Kiri · Rating 4 out of 5]

We get a few HUGE updates in this volume! The biggest of which, without too much spoilers, are we finally get a confession, a magical girl, and Turbo Granny making a decision that leaves us on a cliff hanger! The balance of humor and seriousness is done extremely well, considering this is volume 19. I am nervous for what the next volume will bring... well, excitedly nervous.
