Quirky Cat
Summary:
It all started as a little bet. Each wanted to prove the existence of the supernatural to their new friend, and neither was willing to listen. This quickly turns to chaos as a haunted tunnel and horny aliens get thrown into the mix.
Momo and Okarun haven't had a moment to catch their breath, or so it feels. Most recently, they've stepped up to help an old friend of Momo's – Jiji. His whole family is cursed, or so it feels. The house certainly has something wrong with it, which is where Momo comes in.
Review:
Another chaotic adventure! I'll admit that parts of Dandadan Vol. 5 were a bit more tense than usual (think of Momo's first encounter with the aliens, and you'll have a close enough idea). I didn't love it, but the stakes had to be set, right?
There's a lot to take in from Dandadan Vol. 5. We have spirits, different backstories, character development, potential friendships, and some antagonists that may be human? Like I said, it's a lot. But it's also a fascinating combination.
The whole backstory related to Jiji/the house is the biggest highlight thus far. It's incredibly dark – but also the sort of story you just can't look away from. I think I have an idea of how things will go from here, and I'm not complaining.
