Dandadan Season 1 officially concluded with Episode 12, but the anime has covered less than 30% of the manga, which is still ongoing. While Dandadan will be returning with Season 2 shortly, some of us can’t wait that long to find out what happens next.
If you want to continue the story, you can start reading the Dandadan manga from Chapter 33 after finishing Season 1. Episode 12 adapted the story up to Chapter 33, although some scenes, like Momo taking a bath, were taken from Chapter 34. To ensure you don’t miss anything, it’s best to pick up the manga from Chapter 33.
Currently, Dandadan has over 175 chapters published. To be precise, Chapter 177 was released on December 6, 2024, and the manga is still ongoing. The story is now in its 10th arc. Below is a list of all the arcs so far:
| Arc Name | Chapters | Volumes |
|---|---|---|
| Turbo Granny Arc | 1–8 | 1–2 |
| Acrobatic Silky Arc | 9–17 | 2–3 |
| Serpo Arc | 18–27 | 3–4 |
| Cursed House Arc | 28–50 | 4–6 |
| Evil Eye Arc | 51–62 | 7 |
| Kaiju Arc | 63–73 | 8–9 |
| Space Globalists Arc | 74–120 | 10–15 |
| Onbusuman Arc | 121–128 | 15–16 |
| Danmanra Arc | 129–165 | 16–17 |
| Pygmy Princess Arc | 166–172+ | 17+ |
The manga, written by Yukinobu Tatsu, shows no signs of ending anytime soon, as the author hasn’t hinted at a conclusion yet. With Season 2 on the horizon, it seems we’ll get to enjoy many more chapters of Dandadan before we even start worrying about the end. You can start manga on Manga Plus app or website for free.
The anime adaptation was produced by Science SARU studio. If you’re interested in exploring more anime from the same studio, consider watching Devilman Crybaby and Japan Sinks: 2020, both of which are available on Netflix.
