What to expect from the Dandadan anime

Yukinobu Tatsu's hit shonen series has undoubtedly garnered a large fan following in the past few years. The manga has received much praise due to its distinctive style of storytelling, which features some brilliant plot twists and a captivating art style.

The narrative focuses on Momo Ayase and Ken Takakura (Okarun), two students whose personalities are worlds apart. While Momo is a cheerful and outgoing high school girl, Okarun has been mostly seen as a socially awkward and reserved boy who has difficulty communicating with others.

One day, after being saved by Momo from being bullied by his classmates, Okarun engaged the former in a conversation regarding the occult, where he revealed that he believes in the existence of aliens. On the other hand, Momo proclaimed that she believes in the existence of ghosts but not aliens, which put the two at a crossroads.

In order to prove their respective beliefs, Okarun agreed to visit a place that was said to be haunted, whereas Momo went to a place that was rumored to have had alien sightings. However, in a surprising turn of events, both end up being partially correct, as they discover the existence of both spirits and aliens.

Following a narrow escape from their respective encounters, the story follows the paranormal adventures of Okarun and Momo as they try to fend off ghosts and aliens in their journey throughout the series. The story also features a romantic subplot between the two, which soon becomes one of the most beloved aspects of the series.
