Synopsis

After being aggressively rejected, Momo Ayase finds herself sulking when she stumbles across a boy being bullied. Saved by her rash kindness, the occult-obsessed boy attempts to speak to her about supernatural interests he believes they share. Rejecting his claims, Ayase proclaimed that she instead is a believer in ghosts, starting an argument between the two over which is real.

In a bet to determine who is correct, the two decide to separately visit locations associated with both the occult and the supernatural—Ayase visiting the former and the boy visiting the latter. When the two reach their respective places, it turns out that neither was wrong and that both the occult and ghosts do exist.

This marks the beginning of Ayase and the boy's adventure, as they attempt to fix the surreal, supernatural, and occult elements around them to return to a normal life.

Preliminary (1/? eps)
Instead of listing the famous names that recommended this manga, I want to clearly state my thoughts about this beginning premise.

-Okay typical school setting
-Occultic science fiction shit
-What the fuck

Some of the shit we've seen in the first chapter alone can be taken extremely out of context, in which I compare this part to the random shit I've or you've seen in Fire Punch (Author was an assistant under Fujimoto).

While there isn't much to go on, I can sorta guess the route we are taking... Honestly, the first chapter was so random I wouldn't even know. I would like to think of it as some sort ...

Preliminary (169/? eps)
Dandadan started off as a tremendous amalgamation of creativity and a don't-give-a-fuck, fun-loving attitude that takes you for a ride. It's probably one of the strongest first chapters I have ever read, with a cool supernatural plot and budding romance. The comedy is quirky and dirty and so much fun compared to other Shounen (looking at you, JJK). Ken and Momo have one of the most authentic romantic relationships that I have seen in a manga, where the feelings develop naturally for each other; it's sweet, and it's real, and it grounds the story throughout its surrealism. Their romance is the anchor for the spaceship ...

Why did I leave this series unfinished?

A boy who believes in aliens but not in ghosts and a girl who believes in ghosts but not in aliens cross paths. While they both want to prove their thesis, the boy is possessed by a ghost and the girl is abducted by aliens. The two of them escape from the aliens with the help of the ghost's power, and with their chakras opened, they must now protect the world from alien attacks and evil spirits as special people. Meanwhile, hundreds of low-brow jokes and nonsense ensue, and in Volume 6, the girl's former best friend asks for ...
