Yukinobu Tatsu initially began writing the Dandadan series in 2021. The action and romance-comedy manga series is still ongoing in Shonen Jump+. Thus far, 12 volumes have been published to date in Japan. The entire manga series is available on the Crunchyroll Store, as well as other local and online retailers. Here’s a description of the series:
“A nerd must fight powerful spirits and aliens all vying for the secret power of his ‘family jewel,’ so who better to fight alongside him than his high school crush and a spirit granny?!”
“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, however, thinks quite the 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?”
