Dandadan has added another chart achievement to its growing run, with Volume 25 debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard Japan Book Hot 100. The latest installment led the weekly ranking, placing the popular manga series ahead of other major Japanese titles.

Volume 25’s debut comes as Dandadan continues to maintain strong commercial momentum across Japan. The series, written and illustrated by Yukinobu Tatsu, follows Momo Ayase and Ken Takakura, known as Okarun, as they become involved in supernatural and extraterrestrial encounters.

According to Billboard’s latest chart report, Dandadan Vol. 25 claimed the top position, while Kagurabachi Vol. 12 finished at No. 2. The result places two prominent contemporary manga series at the top of the latest Billboard Japan Book Hot 100 ranking.

The chart performance follows the continued expansion of Dandadan beyond its original manga readership. The series has gained international attention through its anime adaptation, which brought its characters, supernatural storylines and distinctive visual style to a wider global audience.

The manga’s latest volume continues the story created by Tatsu, whose work has increasingly become one of the notable titles in Shueisha’s current manga lineup. Each new volume has contributed to the series’ continued presence in Japanese bookstores and digital manga platforms.

The Billboard Japan Book Hot 100 tracks book sales in Japan and provides a weekly snapshot of the titles attracting the most attention in the Japanese market. Dandadan Vol. 25’s No. 1 debut therefore adds another measurable milestone to the franchise’s ongoing commercial performance.

The latest ranking also places Dandadan alongside Kagurabachi, another newer manga series that has quickly established itself among Japan’s strongest-selling titles. With Kagurabachi Vol. 12 entering at No. 2, the latest chart reflects the continuing strength of serialized manga releases in Japan.

With Volume 25 now at the top of the Billboard Japan Book Hot 100, Dandadan continues its current run as one of the manga titles generating significant attention in Japan and internationally.
