Synopsis of Dandadan
After being aggressively rejected, Momo Ayase finds
herself angry when she stumbles upon a boy who is being bullied. Saved by her
reckless kindness, the occult-obsessed boy attempts to talk to her about
supernatural interests he believes they share. Rejecting his claims, Ayase
proclaims that she is instead a believer in ghosts, starting an argument
between the two over which is real. In a bet to determine who is right, the two
decide to separately visit places related to the occult and the supernatural:
Ayase visits the former and the boy the latter.
When the two arrive at their respective locations, it
turns out that neither of them were wrong and that both the occult and ghosts
do exist. This marks the beginning of the adventure of Ayase and the boy, who
shares a name with Ayase's favorite idol, Ken Takakura, as they try to fix the
surreal supernatural and sci-fi elements around them in order to return to a
normal life.
