Status Updates From Dandadan, Tome 1

Reading weekly chapters

I’m caught up to chapter 220 and it is so hype I wish people would get past the weirdness and really appreciate the art and storytelling. Truly one of my favorite manga so far

So apparently, Turbo granny always shows up where young girls have tragically died. I’ve heard a fan theory that the reason she jumped through the phone was to save Momo

I’ve heard that the aliens symbolize modern Japan and the ghosts represent traditional Japan. Turbo granny calls Momo a “garish little bitch”

At first I thought this series was way to vulgar for a story about high school kids but now I’ve found out that the themes are supposed to be symbolic of the over sexualization of young girls in Japan. Which is why the aliens are dressed like Japanese salarymen.

I think this is one of the most accurate portrayals of teenagers I’ve seen in a very long time. The way Momo and Okarun become instant close friends, and the way the jump from bickering to deep heart to hearts.

I love when Momo protects Okarun

going into this totally blind was probably the best decision to make because WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON LMAOOOOOO
