The first volume of Dandadan was so fun.  I really enjoyed it! The premise going into the manga is so absurd when you read a summary of it; like Okarun believes in aliens, Momo believes in ghosts, and they basically challenge each other's beliefs and end up finding out that both exist after Okarun gets cursed by a yokai and Momo gets psychokinesis from an alien abduction. It seems insane, but it was executed in a way that had me laughing from the absurdity rather than at the fact that it was absurd. And the sci-fi and paranormal elements were taken seriously when they needed to be too; there are high stakes from finding out what they find out, there are high stakes of Okarun being cursed by Turbo Granny and the reversal of it is something that gets taken seriously but it also keeps in mind that Momo and Okarun are opening up to each other as well as going through some weird shit together. It was just really fun, definitely recommend this.

I'll never get tired of how easy going and how fun it is to read this manga series. It's peaceful despite the story that is a bit wtf, a great read I recommend.

A weird twist on shonen that hasn’t really been done before which is why I started collecting it. There’s that scene in the manga that did feel unnecessary and is morally wrong but for the writers im thinking it was necessary for the plot of the villains? Their motives. They could’ve done that without assault but to each is own I guess?  A solid introduction other than that
