This is so awesome. I love that Momo got to do the special move.
Every chapter is making me smile in real life. A genuine grin.

Okuran cannot catch a break

This. This is the ONE thing about Dandadan I could do without. The whole "every single lady falls for the mundane, nerdy looking protagonist", harem manga shtick.
NOW - I'm ready for the author to spin that come next week and I'll gladly shut my mouth, but considering he's already done it twice, I will not be holding my breath.

For all we know, this may be a desperate move to try and suck out Okarun's soul. ^^
Plus, now there's high chances that Momo will try and rip out his spine next chapter, so on my end the entertainment potential compensates the harem aspect.
This aside, I've completely fallen for the Kaiju arc. Loooove the dynamic between Nerdtaku and the rest of the gang. Plus, well, Kaijus and Giant Robots.
Or she could be like a tamaranian and need to kiss to learn the native language. (Or was that a '03 Teen Titans only thing?).
Yeah, I'm open to wathever comes next, obviously, but this one thing has already popped up twice and, yeah, not a fan (even though his romance with Momo ain't that bad, to be fair. Even cute).
But the Kaiju arc is definitely a WIN. Every arc has been a win so far.
BTW...this kaiju was the golden ball? Or in possession of it?
What if...bear with me for a second...
Gut's telling me this character is either going to turn into an incredibly annoying walking cliché or Dandadan will manage to charm me once again. Given that I've warmed up (somewhat) to the other three side-characters I'm gonna give this a chance.
Otherwise this was an amazing fight. Perfect length.
@pariston_hill That was, precisely, the final destination of my train of thought. I just didn't wanna say it out loud.
Thank you.

Hell yeah, alien time. Still not a fan of this new guy or the dumb tropes that seem to have come along with him, but alien time is cool.
I’m hoping by the end of the series (hopefully a long ways off) we get a war between Yokai and aliens
The other alien is also wearing a suit, and I guess the shadows on both sides are his allies?

Did they skipped a chapter? What about Jiji wearing the kaiju?
Bit of whiplash from the thematic shift, that was NOT smooth. I fully thought that this chapter would focus on Bad Roach we saw last chapter, but we just went ahead and met a new yokai. First yokai I've recognised without missing a beat, btw.
Despite that, I really like how characters interact here. They just seem to have plenty of time to have small moments with each other (which is something is miss dearly in One Piece)
Jiji wearing the suit was just a setup to show that the other alien was wearing a suit too (and I think Jiji activating it gave a notification to the alien, not sure). So the scene served its purpose and the story continues.
This new yokai is the take on the slit mouth woman, right? I don't get what pomade is though.
Man, I freakin' LOVE the Yokai designs in this series.
Though, whoever will get them out of this predicament ?!
Brulée's lost twin got all the beauty, ngl
I guess that was setup for the class president to become posessed by that spirit.
Still enjoying the ride ^^
And yeah. "Pomade" x10 seems far too easy an out for this spirit, I hope we see more of her.

Don't tell me, the class rep is also in love with the protagonist.
C'mon.
She has been for a while, she's jealous of Momo and that's why she doesn't let her in the classroom.
The harem part is the weakest link of the series for the time being. Nice ending, you already know that some situation will drag the girls outside of their home and shenanigans shall ensue.
Saving class rep will get Momo a free pass on Okuran. You know she's gonna get included in the Reiko Kashima plot.
Almost fell for it

hahaha almost got me as well. The twist was my first thought, but since the punchline took a while to appear I was starting to doubt myself
Same, the twist immediately came to mind but then I rejected it thinking it wouldn't be unlike this series to have a drenched Okarun standing guard outside in the rain.
Although when the voice mentionned love, I just knew the real one would never have been so bold.
Damn that last spread
https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/viewer/1014584
Arahabaki is in da house.
Also, nice hadoken!
I guess next chapter shall be frantic...
We have a few pieces.
Okarun theorized that aliens couldn't invade Earth because of spirits.
Aliens use karma as a power source. Whatever it is, it's related to spirits since turbogranny knew about it, and Okarun's balls resemble them.
The serpo were surprised with Turbogranny's abilities surpasing their tech.
Mr. Shrimp and Chiquitita's arc already worked with the idea that something that is rare and expensive in one planet is common in another (drinking cow milk = blood transfusions).
This is probably going the route of Aliens wanting to invade Earth for it's spiritual energy and other resources like cow milk, and the humasn + yokai having to defend it.
New chapter out.
the spread sequence was the bomb
Nice ! I'm glad we get to see some more of the Evil Eye, plus the sequence is action-packed and flows nicely. More, please ! :D
Any predictions on how the Evil Eye will cooperate?
@Cinder maybe it won't, but fortunately the aliens attack indiscriminately and as a result they become its primary targets ?
Evil Eye wants to fight anyone strong enough. He was tricked into doing a pact with Okarun and he'll break it out of necesity. He has no reason to attack Aira while the aliens are a threat, and after they're defeated he doesn't have any reason to break the pact any further. If he gets a high and loses control, Jiji could still try to supress him, or Aira could pull the same thing that Okarun did and convince him he's not strong enough to beat her.
I expect that Evil Eye will have an arc where he realizes that he can use his strength to protect instead of attacking innocent people. So basically achieve Goku level morality.
The confession sequence was so cute.
Do you think the mirror yokai will be the one who ends saving them ? There are so many aliens, i don't see how they can get out of it without help
I think I missed when it was established that when aliens attack they are fighting in a different dimesion.
I was finding really weird when the Megazord x Kaiju fight was going on and they were casually destroying buildings and killing thousands, but then by the end of the fight someone mentioned "oh, we are back to the regular reality" or something like that, just along the lines Aira said now.

On the first couple of chapters.
It's happened every time an alien appears, except for the Serpo the first time they met Momo in the abandoned building (and maybe it did, she was indoors so there was no way to tell). The time limit does seem like a retcon.
Okuran was doing well, until he wasn't.
At this point Tatsu is just showing off how awesome they are at drawing action scenes and I'm loving every panel of it. I want to recommend this series to friends and show them pages, but then it gets followed up by Okarun having his ball stolen through a funnel and.... uhh... maybe not.
Can't for the life of me remember that last alien. He was someone they befriended, right? I recall a mantis shrimp alien at some point.
It's Mr. Shrimp in battle mode.
Fuck me sideways. The fight choreography is just insanity at this point.
This manga is the stuff of legends.
