Dandadan Chapter 29

Chapter 29 returns to school life and the tensions of adolescent attraction. Jiji’s charm and presence at Momo’s new school stoke jealousy and uncertainty in Okarun, while the pair's awkward interactions—feeding, teasing, and accidental physicality—underscore the shyness and miscommunication at the heart of teenage first-love narratives.

The chapter punctuates romance with supernatural interruptions: an anatomical doll bearing a golden ball provides physical peril, and Momo’s psychic intervention reveals she can trace the object’s influence. The interplay between romantic beats and magical investigation is emblematic of the dandadan manga’s hybrid tone.

Finally, the emotional payoff arrives when Okarun recognizes his feelings through Taro and Hana’s subplot, prompting introspection. The chapter moves characters closer emotionally while keeping plot momentum via the kintama mystery and the emergent network of spirits and yokai.
