Jiji's family mystery takes Dandadan to a hot springs town and gives the investigation a new location. Okarun and his companions travel there to look into the problem, so the trip supplies a recognizable beginning to this stretch of the story. It still follows an established group. Treat it as the start of the town investigation, with Jiji's connection providing the reason to go, rather than as an introduction to the whole series.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
The town's danger includes people who have institutional cover. The publisher describes a local family working with the police, followed by Momo being offered to the local god. Those details make the investigation harder than locating a supernatural disturbance: the people who should offer help are implicated in the threat. The setting therefore matters for more than a change of scenery. Jiji's personal problem leads the visitors into a community arrangement that can treat an outsider as expendable. This is an opening to a sustained predicament, not a promise of a complete hot springs excursion within one book.
