Yukinobu Tatsu writes and draws the DAN DA DAN manga, which began serialization on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ service in 2021. Volume 16 of the manga released in Japan on October 4, a day after the anime’s strong premiere.
The story follows a high school girl Momo and her classmate Ken Takakura. Momo comes from a family of spirit mediums, while Ken is a follower of the occult. After their challenge went wrong, Ken (now known as Okarun at Momo’s wish) got cursed and now Momo has to keep him in check. After the latest episode, he went out of control, and it looks like the grandma will have to save the day.
