ダンダダン 3 [Dan Da Dan 3] by Yukinobu Tatsu
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is so wild. The juxtaposition of real pathos -- twice -- sliced up with genuinely funny situational OP wild shit between angry ghosts and alien abductions and, yes, a continuing focus on this poor boy's missing balls, has got to be one for the record books.

I thought Demon Slayer was good at making us feel pity for the monsters even as we ruthlessly put them down, but this one is just as good at the pathos, PLUS it skewers modern life, PLUS it's laugh-out-loud funny, plus I just wanna go AWWWWWW at the young love/misunderstanding scenes. And it all just works. Wild.

To my synesthesia, it's all cake and ice cream. :)


Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to requests. Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
