The Continuing Adventures of Momo and Okarun
DAN DA DAN follows the bizarre and thrilling adventures of Momo Ayase and Ken Takakura, nicknamed “Okarun.” Momo believes in ghosts but not aliens, while Okarun believes in aliens but not ghosts. Their differing beliefs lead them to a pact to prove each other wrong, only to discover that both phenomena are very real. This realization awakens hidden powers in Momo and curses Okarun, thrusting them into a world where they must confront paranormal forces and otherworldly beings.
