☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis first volume of Yukinobu Tatsu's supernatural action-comedy series introduces high schoolers Momo Ayase and Ken Takakura, who bond over their shared belief in ghosts and aliens—only to discover both are real. After a bizarre encounter leaves Ken cursed and Momo awakening psychic powers, the pair must navigate a chaotic world of paranormal threats and bizarre battles. This collection kicks off the wildly popular Shonen Jump series with its signature blend of humor, heart, and high-octane weirdness.
"That's How Love Starts, Ya Know" kicks off Dandadan #1 with a pulse-pounding blend of supernatural intrigue and teenage skepticism. Written by Yukinobu Tatsu, Kumar Sivasubramanian, and Jennifer LeBlanc, and illustrated by Tatsu with inks and lettering by the same, the story follows Momo and Ken as their playful debate over aliens and demons spirals into a terrifying real-life encounter—each facing a supernatural force that defies their disbelief. The cover by Yukinobu Tatsu perfectly captures the series’ eerie charm, setting the stage for a mystery that’s equal parts chilling and heartfelt.
In "That's How Love Starts, Ya Know," Momo and Ken—two teens with wildly different beliefs—find themselves drawn together after a moment of unexpected courage. When Ken dares to prove aliens walk among us by entering a forbidden tunnel, and Momo takes on her own test of faith in an abandoned office building, their convictions are put to the ultimate, terrifying trial.
In "That's a Space Alien, Ain't It?" from Dandadan #1, Momo’s strange encounter with aliens awakens her hidden telekinetic abilities, while Ken—after a bizarre run-in with Turbo Granny—finds himself burdened with a demonic fragment and a shocking loss. Forced to seek refuge at Momo’s shrine, the two must confront the shrine’s violent defenses, including a fiery curse and a towering alien sumo wrestler, all while their lives spiral into something far stranger than they ever expected.
In "It's a Granny vs. Granny Clash!" from Dandadan #1, Momo turns to her no-nonsense spirit medium grandmother when her psychic abilities strain under the burden of containing Okarun’s demonic transformation—leading to a showdown between two formidable grandmothers, one human and one supernatural.
In "Kicking Turbo Granny's Ass," Momo and Okarun face off against the eerie Turbo Granny in a tense showdown deep in the tunnel, armed with ancient talismans and cryptic instructions. When Okarun is forced to battle Turbo Granny in her monstrous demon form, the stakes rise—defeating her might unleash something far worse, buried beneath the earth and long kept at bay.
