What the Story Is About This Time
The Cursed House Arc Brings Horror and Heart
Season 2 plunges viewers into the Cursed House Arc, a fan-favorite section of the manga that introduces a haunted hot springs town, a dangerous spirit, and deeper lore surrounding Momo’s mysterious powers. The story follows Momo and Okarun as they accompany Jiji — Momo’s childhood friend — to his ancestral home to investigate a supernatural disturbance. What begins as a quiet getaway quickly devolves into chaos, with grotesque apparitions, sinister villagers, and an entity known only as the “Evil Eye.”
How Dandadan's Humor Differs From Other Anime (In A Good Way)
Recognized as one of the funniest anime in 2024, Dandadan didn't just use traditional tropes to make audiences laugh.
This arc dials up the intensity while still keeping Dandadan’s signature mix of absurd humor, kinetic action, and emotional depth. It’s also one of the manga's most pivotal storylines for character development, especially for Jiji, whose involvement shifts the group dynamics dramatically.
