Hanii Aburame's Reviews > Dandadan, Vol. 5

What does a primate, alien cans and a ghost in underwear have common? Dandadan.
4.5* stars.

To help Jiji, Momo's childhood best friend, her and Okarun travel home with him to figure out the mystery of his home, but the (ten) landlords of his house are causing greater issues than anyone could have expected. And needless to say, the "giant snake" and the creepy ghost in his underwear are no help in this situation.

This series keeps getting stranger by the page I swear; I love it. The absurd situations and amount of aliens and ghosts these poor kids have to deal with, could send anyone over the edge, but somehow, they really hold it together and manage to survive the life-threatening yet hilarious predicaments they find themselves in.

There are some fan service-y moments in the series, they're there for comedic effect and nothing over the top is shown. Story at the end of this volume is a nice light-hearted break in the midst of a suspenseful cliffhanger. I also quite enjoy the cryptic/yokai/alien info at the end of each volume giving a small description of the lore mentioned throughout the volume.

All in all, this is another crazy volume that I don't know how this series being so insane works so well, but I'm down for every wide ride and can't wait to read volume 6!
