Dandadan Creator Praises Shonen Jump’s Best New Dark Fantasy Series

Receiving acclaim from a well-respected manga artist is frequently considered one of the greatest accolades a fresh manga series can receive. An author’s endorsement not only adds prestige but also functions as an effective marketing strategy, drawing attention to the new manga.
