I have to appreciate the fact that even tho life for denji has been absolutely awful, the fucking worst even, in his lowest moments he never thinks of suicide. don't get me wrong after akis and powers death hes extremely depressed but that results in him wanting to give his life for someone else to control (makima) and not end it all toghether. when in the falling devil fight the devil makes the protagonists remember their worst traumas denjis will to live by any means necessary contrasts asas exhaustion over her own life. in most recent chapters in the aging devils world he is at his lowest but he still isn't thinking about ending it all, he's miserable but he chooses to live in punishment. he wants a happy life, his standards got better since part one, but when he cannot have it, with the choice of a bad life or no life at all, he consistently chooses to keep going by any means necessary.

that has me wondering, does he not think about it? does it remind him of his father and that's why he avoids thinking about it? does he think it's impossible due to his regeneration abilities? he had such a horrible life and in spite of eveything he just wants to live. he wants to be alive, he loves life, he loves grub and women, he loves his family and friends, he loves pochita, he loves living so fucking much that killing himself isnt even an option to him.

it's all about being stubborn in his belief that things will get better if he just keeps going. it's admirable but so so sad.

for the longest time I couldn't pinpoint why I disliked dandadan so much but I figured it out finally. it's just not that good.

it's trying to be on the level of csm but by diffrent means. csm is much more realistic and psychological whilst dandadan is comedic. like. csm explores the horrors of romance and love etc whilst dandadan is a high school love story, and the way they handle sexual assault really sets them apart. dandadan has pretty serious themes and I've seen that the author can handle them ok but most of this shit is truly fucking unnecessary. why are u forcing this heavy imagery into a romantic comedy about highschoolers. csm treats sa seriously, even in scenes that are kinda comedic at first glance, ex. vomit kiss, groping scene in the cinema. these seem comedic beacuse these women do not treat denji seriously, assaulting him is fun to them, they dgaf. the consequences of this are explored later, and that trauma is one of the main themes in csm. most I've seen momo do is beat up those the ppl.assulting her and then kinda move on.

in terms of world building both works are pretty good, but again, they approach it very differently. I have a personal preference for csm as I think the world is more coherent, but that comes from the fact that csm takes itself much more seriously than dandadan does. in dandadan the power systems etc are not that relevant, these are just plot devices for the adventures of the main characters. the world of dandandan is meant to be more diverse (open? I can't find the right word to describe what I mean) in the sense that it allows for much more things to happen, like, there's aliens there's ghosts there is that there is this, the possibilities are endless and this works for the setting it is in.

it's very evident that dandadan is heavily inspired by csm and that's great whatever but instead of copying the stuff that makes csm good (its story, themes, and it realistic approach to human emotions) it focused on the absurd humor with weird creatures part.

if u love dandadan then u will love csm. if u love csm than u will think that dandadan is mediocre. at least in my opinion.

I saw this panel posted by @every-denji and thought it looks like denjis getting crushed by the paneling (which is nice), and his expression of anguish enchanted me. I erased asa beacaue I'm a bad person (I'm sorry women) and I wanted to focus solely on denji and his pain.
