Synopsis
Dandadan Volume 10 is the tenth collected volume (tankobon) of Yukinobu Tatsu's hit supernatural action-comedy manga, published in Japanese by Shueisha on 2 May 2023. Serialized on Shueisha's Shonen Jump+ platform, the series pairs high-energy paranormal battles with sharp comedy and a tender teen romance.
The series follows Momo Ayase, who believes in ghosts, and her classmate Ken 'Okarun' Takakura, who believes in aliens; each sets out to prove the other wrong and instead finds that both yokai and extraterrestrials are terrifyingly real. Volume 10 continues their escalating misadventures, introducing and developing the kaiju-girl character Bamora and pitting the group against classic Japanese urban-legend horrors such as the Slit-Mouthed Woman.
Acclaimed for its kinetic art, inventive creature designs, and blend of horror, comedy, and heartfelt character work, Dandadan has become one of the most popular modern shonen titles. This entry is the original Japanese-language edition.

Frequently asked questions
Does this volume work as a starting point for new readers?
The series is highly serialized and relies on established character dynamics and ongoing plot threads, so it is not recommended for new readers to begin here. You should start with the first volume to understand the origins of the protagonists and the rules of their world.
Is there a connection between the author and other popular manga series?
Yukinobu Tatsu previously worked as an assistant to Tatsuki Fujimoto, the creator of Chainsaw Man and Fire Punch, which influenced his development as a mangaka before he launched this series.
How does the anime adaptation relate to the manga volumes?
The anime series produced by Science Saru adapts the manga's story chronologically, with the first two seasons covering the events leading up to the introduction of the character Bamora. If you have finished the anime, you can continue the story by picking up the manga from the chapters that follow the second season's conclusion.
