Dandadan

Dandadan continues as an ongoing manga on Shonen Jump+ and an anime with a third season announced. Its editorial oversight on the platform shifted after Shueisha ended its outsourcing contract with editor Shihei Lin, effective July 31, 2026, with no replacement named. The franchise remains a fixture in worldwide print and digital sales charts.

Synthesized from 12 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 30

Dandadan's editorial arrangement on Shonen Jump+ changed in 2026. Shueisha announced on September 30 that its outsourcing contract with editor Shihei Lin and Mix Green Inc. ended as of July 31. Lin worked on Chainsaw Man, SPY x FAMILY, and Dandadan under that arrangement. Shueisha said the works he oversaw continue serialization under a new structure, but did not name a replacement editor or give a reason for the contract's end. The announcement covers the outsourcing arrangement, not the status of any individual series.

Sales charts through 2026 show the manga as a consistent entry worldwide. Circana BookScan's June adult graphic novel list included Dandadan among 17 manga volumes. Oricon's June ranking placed volume 24 at number three with Chainsaw Man's final volume at number two. Amazon Kindle charts in June, August, and September placed Dandadan alongside Chainsaw Man, Boruto: Two Blue Vortex, and World Trigger, and volume 25 ranked in pre-orders ahead of its September 4 release. A review column covered volume 19 in July.

The anime's 2026 activity extended past broadcast. A pop-up shop titled Street Style ver. ran from June 5 to June 21 at the Bushiroad Creative Store Akihabara Main Store, with merchandise including acrylic stands, clear files, and a Turbo Granny maneki-neko mascot keychain, and a hologram sticker gift for purchases of at least 3,000 yen. The shop followed the first two seasons, with a third season announced. At Anime Expo 2026, held July 2 to 5 in Los Angeles, Smart Share provided a browser-based AR photo feature for the Dandadan booth. GEEKS RULE and PARCO sold Dandadan T-shirts in Taipei, Hong Kong, and Seoul between August 1 and September 5. TZUYU of TWICE will perform the theme for a collaboration between the Atlassian Williams F1 Team and the anime, planned for early 2027.
