The anime seems to be a very faithful adaptation of the manga, based on my experience with volume 1. I am impatient to read more!

A supernatural series for young teenagers. So not my cup of tea.
I probably just don't read enough manga, but I haven't seen anything like this manga before. I like that the story isn't too dark or serious (yet), I was able to finish reading it quickly. I like the two protagonists and their dynamic. However, I did notice that some panels are suggestive and there's nsfw + sensitive topics with teenagers involved.

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.
