Synopsis of Dandadan

After being aggressively rejected, Momo Ayase becomes enraged when she bumps into a boy who is being bullied. Saved by her reckless kindness, the occult-obsessed boy tries to talk to her about supernatural interests he believes they share. Rejecting his claims, Ayase proclaims that she instead believes in ghosts, sparking an argument between the two over which one is real. In a bet to see who is right, the two decide to separately visit locations related to the occult and the supernatural: Ayase visits the former and the boy the latter.

When the two arrive at their respective places, it is discovered that neither of them were wrong and that both the occult and ghosts exist. This marks the beginning of the adventure of Ayase and the boy, who shares the name of Ayase's favorite idol, Ken Takakura, as they attempt to fix the surreal supernatural and sci-fi elements around them in order to return to a normal life.
