Anticipation is building for Dandadan, which is poised to be a standout anime in 2024 with its upcoming release. This buzz has spurred increased enthusiasm for the manga, leading more fans to delve into the extraordinary creation of Yukinobu Tatsu. So, what can we expect in chapter 164?
Readers will have to wait a bit longer for the next installment of Tatsu’s series. Following the release of chapter 163, the author announced a one-month hiatus dedicated to research before he resumes the story. It’s encouraging to see a creator who prioritizes quality, and this break may lead to a more powerful continuation in the next chapter. Dandadan chapter 164 is scheduled to drop on September 2, 2024.
Often compared to The X-Files, the manga chronicles the adventures of Momo Ayase and her friend Ken Takakura. Momo affectionately calls Ken “Okarun,”as she harbors feelings for another Ken Takakura, a celebrity, making it difficult for her to share the same name. However, her affection for Okarun blossoms. Momo is a firm believer in ghosts, while Okarun is convinced of the existence of extraterrestrials. This leads to a bet between them to validate their beliefs, ultimately resulting in Momo’s alien abduction, which awakens her psychic capabilities, while Okarun is cursed by a ghostly entity, Turbo Granny, endowing him with his own unique powers.
What transpired in chapter 163?
The story progresses into the Danramma Arc, where the quest for Okarun’s second kintama intensifies. They discover Unji Zuma, a student who possesses the kintama and spiritual powers. His goal is to enter the game Danranma, a twist reminiscent of Jumanji, but set in a fantastical realm. Ultimately, the entire group is transported into the game, where their escape depends on overcoming it.
In chapter 163, the game is conquered, allowing the group to escape, but Momo is left in a peculiar, smaller state. The upcoming chapter will likely explore how they restore Momo to her normal size. Meanwhile, Count Saint-Germaine is diligently working to seize the Dandadan.
Chapter 164 is set to release on September 2 at around 7 AM (PT) and 10 AM (ET) on Viz Media, as well as on Shonen Jump. Fans can also look forward to the anime adaptation, with the first three episodes debuting theatrically in DAN DA DAN: FIRST ENCOUNTER on September 13, followed by the full season launching in October on Netflix and Crunchyroll.
