The manga Dandadan announced a sudden hiatus after the release of chapter 182. Yukinobu Tatsu's work, a Shonen Jump , received its anime adaptation in the fall 2024 season and quickly gained fans, becoming a public favorite.
With its popularity soaring, the series has received praise from critics and readers. The second season is scheduled to premiere in the summer of 2025 and will continue the Haunted House . The first season ends in the middle of this intense arc, leaving several questions unanswered.
Momo and Okarun face their greatest threat yet. However, the manga is already far ahead of the anime's storyline, currently in its tenth narrative arc. Despite this, the manga went on hiatus after the chapter released on January 20, 2025. This is Tatsu's first hiatus of the year, and the break promises to be long. The reason has not yet been revealed, but it is speculated that the author needs time to rest or hone his skills. Dandadan will return on February 24, 2025 for North American readers.
What's happening in the Dandadan manga?
In the current arc, Momo faces difficulties because she can't return to her normal size after escaping Danmanra. Her friends do everything they can to protect her. However, in the meantime, Kouki Yukishiro, a student, attacks Momo with a knife to steal her powers, being blackmailed by Count Saint-Germain, the main villain of the series. After dealing with Kouki and bringing her to their side, Grandma Seiko sets out to find a solution to help her granddaughter.
In Chapter 182, Seiko returns home and prepares to leave with Momo and Vamola. While other friends ask to accompany them, Zuma rescues an elderly man who has been trapped in Danmanra since the seventh grade and is now aging rapidly. Meanwhile, Kinta reveals that she has found teacher Kouki, and Aira and Okarun set out to capture her. The chapter ends with another tense moment: Kouki finds herself in danger once again.
Finally, chapters of Dandadan are available on the official MangaPlus , as well as in digital and physical editions on the official Viz website.
