- Technically, by the definition given here, Dandadan is a harem manga. But I don’t think it comes off as one while reading it, and Dandadan isn’t listed on that page. Reddit also thinks Dandadan is not a harem series, so there’s that.
- I saw the Nara Daibutsu (the largest bronze Buddha statue in Japan) during my vacation in Japan this year. It’s big, but dwarfed by the Ushiku Daibutsu. You can see pictures of both here.
