| It has a lot of solid scenes in character relationships despite the pseudoharem setup. Love rivals are a norm of shounen and shoujo. |

I agree there, but many shounen do that. I'm just curious as to what makes Okarun and Momo’s writing so special. Unless people just think they're cute together, which is fine.

I think its because it does so in a way thats not completely perverted on a one sided kind of way. its not that its doing something we've never seen before. I think its just that Okarun and Momo are actually fun to watch on screen. Their dynamic obviously isnt pushing some mold, but it's just done in a way that's fun and pleasing to watch unfold.

There are Shonen that have romance, but none that have it as the core focus in the way DanDaDan does. It's a core part of Dan's story and not just a background thing that exists like with most other Shonen. That's probably why.
| @AssassinKillua15 shounen is a demographic not a genre, kaoru no hana that is airing right now is a shounen. There are a lot of shounen that focuses in romance. But i do follow what you are trying to say. |
| I think it does the romance it has quite well. I watch a lot of romance anime and you can certainly do much worse in that department. But of course Dandadan is like 95% humour and action, the romance moves very slowly, so in a way I'm also surprised people praise that aspect of it. Especially in the second season there are so many characters now that the relationship between Momo und Ukarun is barely present anymore it seems. |
| most of the ppl I know who find the romance in DDD hits different are women, queer ppl, & queer women, not average the "battle shounen" enjoyers y'all are talking about. 1) it's not the main focus of the series, 2) it's wholesome & lighthearted, 3) it's a slowburn that prioritises their friendship & doesn't reduce momo's agency, 4) it's not a harem, it's just a comedy. 5) relax. let it flow. |

Yeah, that's it. Despite the harem-looking surface, it's really just a plain wholesome romance between two characters that spend time together and constantly interact cutely, like how Momo will nonchalantly touch Okarun, or how they will show tension about saying goodbye for the day without adding more words. It's just mad cute lol. Although I wonder if these interactions aren't perhaps reduced in the anime? (actually haven't watched it myself, I was browsing the forums for curiosity) edit: like, wasn't there a chapter in which it was shown that they alternated each day the role of who should say "see you tomorrow" or something like that? |

| Its not a harem… Its a love triangle at most (and boy aint even looking at anyone but momo) All battle shonens, the romance takes a backseat. You pretty much have the MC end up with their love interest post time skip after the end of the manga/anime (look at naruto,bleach,demon slayer,MHA) This show has romance/romcom elements tied in to all your typical battle shonen, which is a breath of fresh air. Pretty much you have your major arc, then during the break we have our SOL/romcom moments. |
| Considering shoujo has like a billion love triangles and that there is competition for momo too, it’s not too far off from what I expect. At least Okarun is clearly not into the other girls unlike most Shounen mcs |
| yeah as a fan of the series, its romance is super clichéd and tatsu is still dragging drama out in the manga, which i've gotten tired of. |
 |
| I love how people are blowing this way out of proportion, like usual. It’s just the way the “romance” is handled, realistic, second-guessing, subdued, and tastefully handled, unlike the comments on this post. 🤭 |
 |
| Dandadan's strongest suit is using tropes in a way that distinguishes itself. I would go as far as to say it's one of the best romance shounens to spite thou. |

Pretty much you have your major arc, then during the break we have our SOL/romcom moments. Okarun has a harem of women, which is basically the same thing imo. Just because he likes Momo doesn't mean the anime can't be a harem because there's many times when the MC only has eyes for one girl, but still is constantly approached by other women. SAO is an example and I'm pretty sure even Rent-A-GF does this as well. Just because there are a lot of female characters doesnt mean its a harem. Like i said only Momo and Aira are interested in him Vamola situation is a misunderstanding Rin is also not interested Cant even compare it to SAO as they are all interested in Kirito which is not the same thing |
