About Dandadan:
The Shueisha-published manga series began serialization on Shonen Jump+ in 2021 and has 11 volumes as of August 2023. It follows two students who believe in aliens and spirits respectively.
About Plot of Dandadan:
Momo Ayase strikes up an unusual friendship with her school’s UFO fanatic, whom she nicknames “Okarun” because he has a name that is not to be said aloud. While Momo believes in spirits, she thinks aliens are nothing but nonsense. Her new friend, meanwhile, thinks the exact opposite. To settle matters, the two set out to prove each other wrong—Momo to a UFO hotspot and Okarun to a haunted tunnel! What unfolds next is a beautiful story of young love…and oddly horny aliens and spirits?
