Based on the hit manga by Yukinobu Tatsu, Dandadan is a wild blend of the supernatural and the extraterrestrial, packed with action, comedy, and unexpected romance. The story kicks off with Momo Ayase, a high school girl who firmly believes in ghosts but scoffs at the idea of aliens. Her classmate Ken Takakura—whom she nicknames "Okarun"—is the exact opposite, convinced aliens are real but dismissive of spirits. To settle their debate, they each visit places tied to their beliefs: Momo heads to an alleged alien hotspot, while Okarun explores a known haunted site.
What starts as a lighthearted bet takes a chaotic turn when Momo gets abducted by aliens, who accidentally awaken her dormant psychic powers by unblocking her chakras. At the same time, Okarun falls prey to a vengeful spirit that possesses his body. The two barely manage to escape their bizarre encounters and soon discover that by combining Momo’s newfound abilities with Okarun’s possessed form, they make a formidable team against otherworldly threats.
As their adventures continue, they join forces with friends, classmates, and unlikely allies to take on an onslaught of spirits and aliens. Amidst the battles and madness, their relationship deepens, with sparks of romance flickering between the chaos. And yes—one of their key missions involves the strange and hilarious quest to recover Okarun’s, uh… missing anatomy. Dandadan is a fast-paced, genre-bending ride that’s equal parts heart, humor, and high-stakes action.
