Dan Da Dan follows Momo Ayase, a high school girl from a family of spirit mediums, and Okarun, an occult fanatic. Momo believes in ghosts but denies aliens, while Okarun believes in aliens but denies ghosts. After rescuing Okarun, they argue about their beliefs. To prove each other wrong, Momo visits an abandoned hospital known for UFO sightings, and Okarun goes to a haunted tunnel. They encounter paranormal entities, Momo awakens her hidden power, and Okarun gains the power of a curse. Together, they challenge paranormal forces.
