Dandadan Chapter 195: Evil Eye Takes Over Jiji; Recap, Release Date, Where To Read And More
The last Dandadan chapter, titled 'We've Been Hijacked,' saw Momo and Jiji confront Naki Kito, confused by her presence after her prior arrest. Naki, unaware Momo is on her leg, accuses them of causing the volcano disaster. Fighting breaks out between both groups. Unji protects Raiya from Juichi, using touch to strike Juichi and Juhiko. Bamora urges Unji to retreat. Jiji summons the Evil Eye, who repels Jugenna. Seiko engages Naki as the Kito family blames their downfall on Momo's group. A tornado damages the plane, and sky sharks appear, alarming everyone aboard. Dandadan Chapter 195 will likely escalate the conflict, with Naki Kito's provocation possibly causing Jiji to lose control and allow the Evil Eye to take over. Although this may overpower the Kito family, it could create new risks. Meanwhile, the damaged aircraft descending toward the ocean suggests a worsening crisis. The airborne sharks and tornado are expected to be tied to a yokai ability granted by the Orchestrator. As a result, a new antagonist may emerge by the end of the chapter. Dandadan Chapter 195 will be officially released at 12 am JST on Tuesday, May 20, 2025. For most international audiences, this will correspond to a release on Monday, May 19, 2025. The release time will vary depending on location and time zone. Dandadan Chapter 195 will be available for free on official platforms such as VIZ Media, Shueisha's MANGA Plus, and Shonen Jump+. While VIZ Media and MANGA Plus offer free access to the first three chapters, Shonen Jump+ is a paid service for full access. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on the Dandadan manga.

Beautiful Studio Ghibli tenugui can add summer anime style to your home and hand-washing【Photos】
There are all sorts of ways to use tenugui, from wall art to bento carriers, and these Ghibli stars are up for all of them. Tenugui seems like a word that should be easy to translate. A combination of the words te, meaning 'hand' or 'hands,' and nugui, 'wipe,' you could say that tenugui are hand towels, as they're fairly long rectangular lengths of cloth, but not as big as a bath towel. And yes, throughout the course of history people in Japan have used tenugui as hand towels…but they've also used them as gift or parcel wrappings, slings for carrying bento lunch boxes, headbands, and many other things. ▼ A chart with some of the many, many ways to use tenugui And that versatility is something to be doubly happy about today, because it means there are all sorts of reasons to treat yourself to some Studio Ghibli anime art tenugui. Because of their beautiful patterns and thinner material than a terrycloth towel, tenugui are also extremely well-suited to using as poster-like tapestries. With spring winding down, Ghibli specialty shop Donguri Kyowakoku has restocked its supply of tenugui with summery colors and imagery, featuring characters from three of its most beloved films. Pictured above is Spirited Away's Haku, in his dragon form, and Kiki's Delivery Service's Jiji has a tenugui too, where the curious cat is playing in a field of sunflowers. ▼ It looks like Jiji left some pawprints behind, but we'll forgive him. And of course, you can't have a collection of charmingly cute Ghibli stuff without inviting Totoro, can you? The first of four Totoro tenugui salutes both the soothing relaxation and bombastic fun of summer, with wind chimes and fireworks. ▼ The little strips of paper hanging down from the chimes have the kanji characters for 'Big' (大), 'Medium' (中), and 'Small' (小) on them, matching the size of their respective Totoros. Corn is a vegetable with a special significance within My Neighbor Totoro, so of course it appears on this design, along with cucumbers, eggplant, and some other tasty summer produce. There're more veggies on this tenugui where even the Totoros look surprised at the bumper crop of goya, or bitter melon. ▼ That と is the hiragana character for 'to,' as in 'Totoro,' by the way. And finally, the fourth Totoro tenugui also has fireworks on it, but since the name in Japanese for these twirling disc-shaped sparklers is nezumi hanabi, literally 'mouse fireworks,' of course the Catbus is very interested in them. All of the Ghibli tenugui are 90 centimeters (35.4 inches) long by 33 centimeters wide and made in Japan out of 100-percent cotton. They're priced at 2,640 yen (US$18) and can be ordered through the Donguri Kyowakoku online shop here. In addition to giving you the means to add a little Ghibli style to your home, they also make excellent souvenirs, since they fold up flat for easy packing and weigh just 35 grams (1.2 ounces) each.
