Dandadan manga continues to win over fans around the world, and with the success of the anime (with a second season confirmed for summer 2025), its creator, Yukinobu Tatsu , shared interesting facts about his creative process and his connection to the work. In a recent interview, he discussed memorable scenes, his work routine, and, of course, his favorite character .
When asked about an unforgettable scene from Dandadan, Tatsu singled out the iconic cow abduction by a UFO. For the author, this moment is special because everything fit perfectly into the narrative. In the anime, the combination of absurdity and epicness made the scene even more memorable, demonstrating how manga can transform unusual situations into key elements of the story.
Regarding his routine, Tatsu revealed that he works alone, with his assistants working remotely since the pandemic. Unlike many manga artists who use tablets and advanced software, he prefers the classic: pen and paper. This simplicity reflects his style and the authentic way he connects with his creation.
But the standout was Momo Ayase, his favorite character. Tatsu confessed that if he doesn't draw her exactly how he thinks she's ideal, he erases and redoes it until he's satisfied. For him, Momo is like Superman, not because of her powers, but because of her ability to inspire. What makes Superman a hero is his positive influence, the same impact Momo has in Dandadan .
The author also explained that he draws inspiration for paranormal creatures from Japanese myths and legends, always discovering new cultural elements. Furthermore, he prefers the story to flow naturally, without rigid arcs, reflecting the protagonists' growth.
