Is Dandadan Manga Finished? Where to Continue After the Anime
Dandadan is still ongoing, so there is no final volume number yet. If you came from the anime, the useful question is where to pick up the physical manga without buying the wrong book.
No, Dandadan is not finished yet. The manga is still being published and no final numbered volume has been confirmed.
If you finished Season 1, start with Volume 5. If you finished Season 2, start with Volume 9, which contains the end of the adapted material and the continuation from Chapter 72.

Start with Volume 1
Best if you want the manga from the beginning and want to collect the full series as it continues.

Continue with Volume 5
Season 1 ends during material collected in Volume 5, so starting the book gives you a little overlap before moving into new story.

Continue with Volume 9
Season 2 reaches Chapter 71. Volume 9 includes that material and continues from Chapter 72.

No. Dandadan is still ongoing. Yukinobu Tatsu's manga continues beyond the English books already available, and there is no confirmed final volume number yet.
That means any fixed claim about how many volumes the complete series will contain would be guesswork. The total will only become permanent once the manga ends and the final book is published.
For collectors: there is no missing final book to hunt down. Dandadan is simply an open-ended collection for now.
How many Dandadan manga volumes are there?
There is no final total yet because the series has not ended. The English books follow one continuous numbered run beginning with Volume 1.
You do not need a Volume 0, prequel or alternate series before starting. You can simply collect the numbered English paperbacks in order.
Begin with Volume 1
The main story starts here. There is no required prequel before it.
Not confirmed yet
The manga is ongoing, so the complete collection does not yet have a permanent final number.
Where does Dandadan Season 1 end in the manga?
Season 1 ends during the material collected in Dandadan Volume 5. The anime reaches the beginning of the Evil Eye storyline rather than stopping neatly at the end of a physical book.
That is why Volume 5 is the better physical starting point. You will reread a small amount of adapted material, but you get the full transition instead of entering the manga halfway through the paperback.
Where does Dandadan Season 2 end in the manga?
Season 2 adapts through Chapter 71. The next chapter is Chapter 72, which is also collected in Dandadan Volume 9.
Volume 9 contains some material you have already seen near the end of the season, but starting from the beginning of the book is the cleanest way to continue with a physical copy.
Finished Season 2 and just want the next useful book? Buy Volume 9. You do not need to restart from an earlier volume unless you want to reread the manga version.

Why read the Dandadan manga after the anime?
Dandadan is a very visual series. The manga uses detailed supernatural designs, large action panels and sudden shifts between horror, comedy and romance that work especially well on the page.
If the anime's mix of aliens, spirits and chaotic character chemistry is what hooked you, the manga gives you the same core appeal while letting you move ahead of the adaptation.
