Dandadan, Vol. 4

Danger escalates for Momo Ayase and Okarun across the fourth volume of Dandadan, which sends them further into a landscape of strange spirits and stranger visitors from elsewhere. Yukinobu Tatsu handles both writing and art, and the pairing shows in how cleanly the humour sits inside the action. Fights are choreographed for clarity rather than clutter, emotional beats arrive without announcement, and the world keeps unfolding at a pace that rewards reading several volumes in a row. Reading notes: • Fourth book in the Dandadan sequence, complete with its own arc • Art and script both by Yukinobu Tatsu • English-language paperback, printed right to left • Continues storylines begun in earlier volumes Suited to teenagers and adults reading modern shonen, and to readers catching up in print before watching the adaptation.
