Dandadan: where to start the manga after season 1
Covers the first 12 episodes only. Season 2 has a different continuation point.
Chapter 34
After Dandadan season 1, read chapter 34 in volume 5. The finale reaches the opening of that chapter, so start at its beginning rather than skipping to 35.

What overlaps or changes?
Expect a little familiar material: chapter 34 is the handoff, not a completely untouched chapter. Starting there keeps the cliffhanger and its continuation together.
Should you start from chapter 1?
Continue at 34 for the immediate follow-up to episode 12. Restart at chapter 1 if you want to experience the early supernatural encounters as manga; this guide does not claim to be an exhaustive list of adaptation changes.
