Dandadan manga has been going strong since 2021, with over 100 chapters released in this time span. The manga has a pleasing-to-the-eye art style that shouldn’t be tough for studio Science Saru to adapt in the inaugural season of the anime.

As of now, there is no exact release date confirmed by the studio. While fans would have loved to hear about an exact release date, as of now, they are happy to know that the anime will definitely arrive in 2024.

What is Dandadan About?

Shonen Jump anime are typically known for their over the top fight scenes in the action genre. Over the years, many Shonen anime, such as Dragon Ball, Bleach, One Piece, and Attack on Titan have received nothing but love from fans.

However, most of the above-mentioned anime are pretty similar as far as their genre is considered. On the other hand, Dandadan is widely regarded as one of the weirdest manga series out there.

It follows the adventures of Ken Takakura and Momo Ayase. While Takakura is primarily interested in aliens, Ayase is obsessed with spirits. In order to prove their point, both characters go extreme distances, which ultimately leads to Takakura losing his manhood.

No, we are not kidding by any means. The primary goal of the name is to retrieve Takakura’s genitals from an old spirit. Now, isn’t that something?
