Shonen Jump Editor Unpacks the Real Reason Dandadan Is a Hit

As a seasoned gamer with years of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the world of manga is not just another level, it’s an entirely different dimension. And in this dimension, one series stands out among the rest – the enigmatic and exhilarating Dandadan.


Currently, it appears that the quantity of shows under Shonen Jump is decreasing, with My Hero Academia wrapping up, and others like Jujutsu Kaisen nearing their conclusion. However, unlike these top hits, Dandadan by Yukinobu Tatsu is not preparing to end, but rather gaining momentum. In fact, a Shonen Jump editor has recently discussed the factors behind its success.

Recently, Shehei Lin was interviewed in Japan regarding the upcoming release of the anime for “Dandadan”. During this interview, an editor from Shonen Jump+, who has significant oversight responsibilities, acknowledged that Tatsu’s manga is doing exceptionally well due to its unpredictability.

As a dedicated fan, let me share my thoughts: This narrative is unpredictable, keeping even me guessing with each turn of events during our interactions with Tatsu. The twists and turns are thrilling, and I find myself either chuckling or taking a step back in surprise. But when I laugh, it’s usually the best course of action… so here’s to hoping readers can share in this exhilarating ride!

Undeniably, Lin and Tatsu tirelessly dedicate themselves to the creation of the manga “Dandadan.” The role of a manga artist isn’t simple, and it’s no different for editors. Nevertheless, Tatsu skillfully keeps readers intrigued with “Dandadan,” offering a blend of occult enigmas, alien suspense, and exhilarating action that will satisfy even the most ardent enthusiasts. This thrilling mix harmoniously complements the romantic comedy atmosphere in “Dandadan” as Momo and Ken navigate their relationship. Thus, it’s evident that Tatsu’s innovative style is proving successful.

Unlike Momo who believes in ghosts, Okarun firmly stands by the existence of aliens. To put their beliefs to the test, they embark on a journey – Momo to an alleged UFO hotspot and Okarun to a rumored haunted tunnel. This adventure leads to a heartwarming tale of youthful affection…and rather eccentric extraterrestrials and spirits with unusual sensualities!
