High-schoolers Momo Ayase (who believes in ghosts, not aliens) and Ken "Okarun" Takakura (who believes in aliens, not ghosts) make a bet to prove each other's beliefs. Momo visits a UFO hotspot—only to be abducted, which accidentally awakens her latent psychic powers. Meanwhile, Okarun is possessed by a curse that transforms him unpredictably. When they reunite, Momo uses her new abilities alongside his demonic form to repel the threats. From then on, they team up—fighting bizarre spirits, aliens, and yokai with the help of friends and family. Their supernatural battles are underscored by a sweet and steadily growing romantic tension. Early arcs include Okarun’s quest to retrieve his missing testicles and later, Momo suffering from a memory-erasing shrinking curse that their allies must break. Throughout, the manga masterfully blends horror, wild action, comedy, and heartfelt coming-of-age moments, with art that’s as gorgeous as it is unsettling. Dandadan is a genre-bending ride that’s as emotionally engaging as it is wildly imaginative.
