Dandadan Chapter 52

Following the chaotic aftermath, Seiko enlists a troupe of hayashi performers to perform an exorcism aimed at purifying Jiji and stabilizing the household. The chapter balances the solemnity of ritual with moments of levity as characters navigate the wrecked home and awkward social dynamics.

The hayashi’s music serves both as a narrative device and as a communal ritual: through song and ceremony, the group attempts to restore normalcy and keep the Evil Eye suppressed. Momo and company find brief respite in participating, even as the larger stakes remain unresolved.

The installment underscores how folklore and community practices are woven into the protagonists’ strategies: healing is not only personal but cultural, requiring both action and ceremony to mend what was broken.
