2. Recap of Chapter 176 of Dandadan

Chapter 176 opens with Yukishiro lamenting the unfortunate fate of her clothes turning white due to a fire extinguisher’s foam, only to be met with Aira’s dismissive commentary on her gloomy demeanor. Amidst the chaotic atmosphere, Sakata reveals an inventive twist: he has crafted a hair clip for Yukishiro out of nanoskin, which now functions as a surveillance device. This device’s purpose is to help uncover the identity of the individual who provided Yukishiro with a knife, anticipating future interactions.

As the group decides to avoid Yukishiro until the hair clip serves its function, Okarun expresses his regrets to Momo, feeling he has failed to protect her. Conversely, Momo counters that sentiment, urging him to train with Seiko to lift his spirits.

Meanwhile, Momo’s grandmother Seiko engages in conversation with two men at a diner. One of them, Kashimoto, turns out to be an avid collector of cursed objects, displaying an unusual enthusiasm, evident from his endearing nicknames for the artifacts. Seiko seeks his assistance, presenting him with a mysterious box tied to the infamous Renjaku Apartment incident, explaining her lack of knowledge on handling it.

As she unfolds the tale of Momo’s plight—having been sucked into a cursed trunk—Kashimoto offers a glimmer of hope. He mentions his research into “tiny men”and implies he knows a way to return Momo to her normal size. Kashimoto references the legendary “Uchide-no-Kozuchi,”a magic hammer wielded by the miniature samurai Issun Boshi, suggesting it could also work for Momo, revealing its current location, although Seiko quickly grasps its significance while readers remain in suspense.
