With the recent introduction of Aira into the protagonists' group, Dandadan is on its way to introducing more characters. After Aira, the next character introduction would be Momo's childhood friend and first crush, Jiji, who lost all contact with the female protagonist in their childhood. However, does Jiji like Momo in Dandadan?
Yes, Jiji does like Momo, even though Momo was the one who had a crush on him in their childhood. Despite being close friends, their friendship ended when Jiji moved away after ridiculing Momo. However, these two patched things up pretty soon but Jiji had developed feelings for the female protagonist. Unfortunately for him, Momo was now interested in one person only, Okarun.

Dandadan: Jiji's feelings for Momo, explained
Jin Enjoji (more commonly referred to as Jiji) is one of the supporting protagonists of the series and the childhood friend of Momo Ayase, the female protagonist. In their childhood, Momo had a crush on Jiji but never unveiled it; however, they were the best of friends until Jiji had to move away.
Before he moved away, he ridiculed Momo, just like the other kids, for her occult beliefs, which came from her grandmother, Seiko. Due to this, their friendship broke, and Jiji moved away. A few years later, Jiji returned to Momo's house and requested Seiko let him stay with them as a yokai (the Evil Eye) was haunting his house.
So, Seiko allowed him to stay until his house was exorcised. Later, he also met Momo and apologized for ridiculing her due to her beliefs. Although it took some time, Momo again opened up to Jiji and even started caring for him. However, she only viewed him as a close friend. On the other hand, Jiji had developed feelings for Momo and started waiting for a chance to confess them.

Momo's current feelings for Jiji
After bonding together as friends again, Momo started investigating the issue of the yokai haunting Jiji's house. Soon, it was found out that Jiji was possessed by the Evil Eye, a strong yokai who was adamant about killing anyone who he crossed paths with. Looking at his condition, Momo felt bad for him, but she had no feelings of love for him.
Soon after, Momo started carrying around hot water to calm down the Evil Eye, and this was for Jiji's sake. Eventually, as this issue was resolved, Jiji joined Momo's group that was looking for Okarun's last kintama. So, does Jiji like Momo in Dandadan? Yes. However, does Momo also like Jiji? No, because she only has feelings for Takakura Ken (more commonly referred to as Okarun).
Final thoughts
The love triangles in the series are all a mess given how the main protagonists are interested in each other, but on the other hand, each of them is the crush of someone else. Moreover, there are no signs of Aira and Jiji confessing their love to their crushes, which is indicative of the popular anime trope where confessing never gets done.
