Dandadan Chapter 167 Release Date & Time, Where to Read, Spoilers
Hey guys, what’s up! Jack Pham here again, your friendly neighborhood blogger, and today I’m diving into something I’ve been absolutely hyped about for weeks now—Dandadan Chapter 167! If you're like me and have been religiously following Yukinobu Tatsu's mind-bending Dandadan, then you know the wait for each chapter feels like an eternity. But fear not! I'm here to break down everything you need to know about Chapter 167, from its release date to where you can read it, and (drumroll, please) potential spoilers! Let's get into it!
Chapter 167 Release Date & Time
Alright, let’s start with the most important bit—the release date! Mark your calendars, because Dandadan Chapter 167 is dropping on September 23, 2024. That's a Monday, which is when Dandadan typically blesses us with new chapters. It’s like a mini-Christmas every Monday for us manga addicts.
Now for those of you who are sticklers for time zones (I see you, international fans!), the manga will land at 11 a.m. EST. If you're on the West Coast, that’s 8 a.m. PST, and for my friends across the pond in the UK, it’s 4 p.m. BST. If you’re in Japan, you’re looking at a 12 a.m. JST drop (technically Tuesday for you guys, but let’s just roll with it!).
One thing I love about Dandadan is that we don’t usually get leaks or major spoilers before the official release. The online-only release format really helps keep things tidy. No more dodging spoilers like you're in the Matrix!
Where to Read Dandadan Chapter 167
Okay, so now we know when it’s dropping, but where can you actually read it? Fear not, because I’ve got you covered on that front too. There are several options depending on your preferences for legal or... less-than-legal (cough don’t do it cough) ways to access the manga. But seriously, support the creators, people!
1. Viz Media
Hands down, the best place to read Dandadan legally in English is on Viz Media’s website. They’ve got an official translation, and it’s free to read the latest chapters for a limited time. If you want to go back and binge-read the earlier chapters, you might need to subscribe to their Shonen Jump service, but it’s honestly worth it for just $1.99 a month. I mean, that’s like the cost of a pack of gum!
2. Manga Plus
Another solid option is Manga Plus by Shueisha. They also offer the latest chapters for free, and the translations are spot on. Plus, they have a mobile app, so you can read on the go. Whether you’re on the bus, at work (shh, I won’t tell), or hiding from your responsibilities, Manga Plus has got your back.
3. Dandadan.net
There’s also Dandadan.net, which provides up-to-date chapters. I’ve used it a few times, and while the layout is pretty straightforward, it gets the job done. Just be sure to check for any delays in releases here because sometimes they can be a bit behind the official platforms.
So, there you have it! No need to scour the internet for shady scans anymore. Stick with the official sources, and you’ll be reading Chapter 167 right when it drops.
Spoilers: What We Might Expect in Chapter 167
Alright, now let’s get to the juicy stuff—spoilers. Or, more accurately, what we can speculate and hope will unfold in Chapter 167 based on the previous chapters.
First up, we’ve got to talk about Momo. In the last few chapters, she’s been stuck in what I can only describe as a "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" situation. She’s miniaturized, and it’s been a hilarious yet tense rollercoaster watching her try to navigate this new reality. I mean, she’s practically fighting for her life against grains of rice! But what’s even crazier is the fact that no one seems to have a clue on how to fix her. Not even her grandmother, Seiko, who’s usually the “I’ve seen it all, I can fix it all” type.
Momo Dandadan
There’s definitely potential for some major development here. I’m guessing we’ll either see a new character introduced who holds the key to reversing Momo’s mini-form, or perhaps one of the yokai or aliens gets involved. But here’s the thing—what if her tiny size actually becomes an advantage in battle? I’m just imagining her taking down a giant alien with some kind of David vs. Goliath move, and it would be epic!
Next up is Okarun. Our boy has been through the wringer lately, but he’s still standing strong. The bond between him and Momo has only gotten stronger, and I wouldn’t be surprised if Chapter 167 throws them into another wacky, life-threatening scenario. Maybe we’ll get to see more of those cute, awkward moments between them, though I’m still holding out for a full-on confession at some point. Please, Tatsu, just give us that moment already!

And then there’s the wildcard—Count Saint Germain. This dude is giving me serious “final boss” vibes. We’ve only scratched the surface of his abilities and his motives, but I feel like Chapter 167 will either show him pulling the strings behind the scenes or straight-up making a move against our heroes. He’s been lurking in the shadows for a bit too long, don’t you think? It’s about time we see him wreak some havoc.
What to Expect in the Coming Arc
Let’s zoom out a bit and talk about the bigger picture. Chapter 167 is part of what seems to be a brand-new arc (possibly called the Fairy Arc, though that’s not confirmed yet). We’ve already seen hints of fairies being introduced into the story, which adds a whole new layer of mythological chaos to the alien vs. yokai madness we’ve already got going on.
Fairy Arc Dandadan
I’m super curious to see how the fairies will fit into the overall narrative. Are they allies? Enemies? Tricksters who don’t pick sides? Fairies in folklore are often portrayed as mischievous beings who love to mess with humans, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they stir up even more trouble for Momo and Okarun.
At the same time, I’m wondering if the whole fairy thing links back to Momo’s current predicament. Could her miniaturized form be connected to fairy magic? Maybe she’s crossed some kind of boundary into their realm (okay, I’m going full-on conspiracy mode here, but you never know with Dandadan).
Recap of Recent Events (In Case You Forgot!)
If you’ve been swamped with life (ugh, responsibilities), and need a quick refresher, here’s what’s been going down in the past few chapters:
- Momo Shrunk!: Momo got hit by some sort of curse or spell (it’s not entirely clear yet) that shrunk her down to the size of an ant. She’s been trying to figure out how to reverse it, with little success so far. We’ve had some pretty hilarious moments with her struggling to eat food, and it's been a real test of her patience.

Okarun Stays Supportive: While Momo’s dealing with her tiny form, Okarun has been by her side. Their interactions have been equal parts heartwarming and awkward, which is exactly why we love them. Okarun is still trying to figure out his role in all of this, but his feelings for Momo have only grown stronger.
-
Count Saint Germain Looms: This guy is still lurking in the background, and we know he’s gonna make some major moves soon. He’s got big bad villain energy, and the tension is only building. Whatever he’s planning, it’s gonna be a massive game-changer.
Fan Theories: What the Community Thinks Might Happen
I’ve been lurking around the r/Dandadan subreddit (which, by the way, if you’re not part of that community yet, go join right now!), and fans have been buzzing with theories about what’s coming up in Chapter 167 and beyond.
Theory 1: Momo’s Mini-Form is Permanent (For Now)
Some fans are speculating that Momo’s tiny form might stick around for a while. Instead of being a quick gag, it could be a major plot point that affects how she fights and interacts with the world. I’m not sure how I feel about this one, but it’s possible. It would certainly make for some interesting combat scenes!
Theory 2: Turbo Granny Returns
Turbo Granny has been MIA for a bit, and fans are clamoring for her return. Could Chapter 167 reintroduce her into the mix? Given how much she’s influenced the story so far, it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to see her make a dramatic comeback.

Theory 3: Count Saint Germain’s True Plan Unveiled
There’s a lot of speculation about what Count Saint Germain’s endgame is. Some fans think he’s after something far more sinister than just causing chaos—maybe he’s trying to merge the alien and yokai worlds? This theory is a bit out there, but Dandadan has never been one to shy away from big, crazy plot twists.
Is Dandadan Ending Soon?
Now, I’ve seen some rumors floating around that Dandadan might be wrapping up soon. Let me just put your mind at ease: it’s not happening. There’s been absolutely no indication that the series is nearing its end. In fact, with the anime adaptation set to drop soon, it feels like Dandadan is just getting started. We’ve got plenty of bizarre battles, hilarious moments, and heart-pounding drama still to come.
Final Thoughts: The Wait is Worth It!
So, there you have it! Everything you need to know about Dandadan Chapter 167. The release is just around the corner, and I genuinely can’t wait to see what wild shenanigans Momo, Okarun, and the gang get up to next. Yukinobu Tatsu has been absolutely killing it with this series, and each chapter just gets better and better.
