Manga like Dandadan: 6 series to read in English

Dandadan starts with an argument between two high schoolers. Momo Ayase's grandmother is a spirit medium.

We picked the 6 series on Mangainfo that share the most themes and genres with Dandadan in AniList's tags and have English volumes out, with popularity deciding close calls.

All volume counts and release dates below are as of October 2026.

Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun

Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun by AidaIro brings ghosts and youkai into an urban fantasy setting. That is the same ground Dandadan stands on. It also blends action with comedy and romance.

The premise puts a twist on a familiar tale. The ghost here is not the girl from the old school legend. Kamome Academy has seven famous spooky rumors.

The series is still releasing in Japan with 25 volumes so far. There are 24 out in English. Volume 25 comes out from Yen Press on 24 November 2026. That brings the English edition level with Japan.

Noragami: Stray God

Ghosts, youkai and exorcism tie Noragami: Stray God to Dandadan. Adachitoka sets it in the same kind of urban fantasy world.

Its lead is Yato. He is a god who badly wants to be famous. The problem is that hardly anyone prays to him.

Noragami is finished in Japan at 27 volumes. All 27 are out in English. You can read the whole thing start to finish.

Jujutsu Kaisen

If the fights against the supernatural are your favorite part of Dandadan, Jujutsu Kaisen by Gege Akutami is the obvious next stop. Both series share curses, exorcism and an urban fantasy backdrop.

In this world dark human emotions take shape as curses. Jujutsu sorcerers fight them in secret.

The series is finished in Japan with 30 volumes. The English edition is complete at 30 volumes too.

Go! Go! Loser Ranger!

This one leans on the sci-fi side of Dandadan. Go! Go! Loser Ranger! by Negi Haruba shares tokusatsu, henshin and aliens with it. Both also sit in urban fantasy.

It is an action comedy with sci-fi and drama in the mix. Its themes point to revenge and an anti-hero.

The series is still releasing in Japan at 22 volumes. There are 18 out in English. Volume 19 arrives from Kodansha on 24 November 2026.

Twin Star Exorcists

Twin Star Exorcists by Yoshiaki Sukeno has exorcism and urban fantasy in common with Dandadan. Like Dandadan it also runs a heterosexual romance alongside the action.

Expect a supernatural fantasy with comedy and drama. Demons and war are among its themes.

It is finished in Japan at 35 volumes. All 35 are available in English.

Bakemonogatari

The strange humor of Dandadan has a match in Bakemonogatari by Ito Oogure and NISIOISIN. It shares youkai, surreal comedy and urban fantasy with Dandadan.

This is a supernatural story with mystery and romance at its core. Vampires and philosophy are part of its themes.

Bakemonogatari is finished in Japan with 22 volumes. The English edition is complete at 22 volumes as well.
