Fans of Dandadan will need to exercise a bit more patience, as the manga series has announced an unexpected hiatus. This break comes after the anime adaptation, which aired from October to December, significantly boosted the series’ profile, solidifying its status as one of the standout anime hits of 2024.
The plot centers around Okarun and Momo Ayase, who engage in a friendly wager to determine who is correct in their beliefs: Okarun’s conviction in the existence of aliens versus Momo’s belief in ghosts. To their surprise, they soon find out that both claims hold truth.
Release Date for the Next Chapter of Dandadan
The manga is scheduled to make its return on February 24, 2025 (or February 25, 2025, depending on the time zone).
Chapter 182 was released as per the normal publication schedule on January 21. However, Manga Plus, the official platform for international audiences, has indicated that the next chapter will be available in February.
This hiatus was not previously communicated to fans, and there has been no official statement regarding the reasons behind the break. Nevertheless, the confirmed return date suggests that this might be a strategic pause—potentially providing the creator with the necessary time to prepare for future plot developments or to recuperate. It is also feasible that the anime production team reached out for creative discussions, leading to a busy schedule for the author during the latter part of 2024.
While fans might feel disappointed by the wait, the anticipation builds for what the next chapters will unfold in the captivating world of Dandadan.
