Dandadan: where to start the manga after season 2
Covers the second 12-episode season from 2025. It is the bookmark before the announced third season, not the handoff after the original season 1.
Chapter 72
After Dandadan season 2, continue at chapter 72 in volume 9. Episode 24 overall reaches chapter 71; chapter 72 follows that ending.

Can’t wait for Season 3?
If you can’t wait for Dandadan season 3, read from chapter 72 in volume 9. That continues the story after the second-season finale without needing a predicted anime schedule.
The official announcement schedules season 3 for 2027 with Science SARU. It does not give a month or day.
Announcement checked 2026-10-02. Read the official announcement. Release plans can change; this chapter bookmark follows the season named above.
What overlaps or changes?
Volume 9 begins at chapter 68, so its opening repeats part of the anime. Find chapter 72 within that volume instead of skipping to volume 10.
Should you start from chapter 1?
Start at 72 if you finished both seasons. If you stopped at season 1’s hot-springs cliffhanger, use chapter 34 in volume 5 instead. A full reread is an optional way to compare the manga artwork with the animation.
