DANDADAN: (Volume 1) by Yukinobu Tatsu

An absolute rollercoaster of supernatural action and high school romance begins when a nerd must fight powerful spirits and aliens all vying for the secret power of his "family jewel." Fortunately, he has some backup—who better to fight alongside him than his high school crush and a foul-mouthed spirit granny? The wild, genre-bending ride kicks off with full force in the pages of DANDADAN: (Volume 1).

Momo Ayase and her classmate Okarun stand on opposite sides of the paranormal spectrum. Momo, raised by a spirit medium, believes wholeheartedly in ghosts but thinks aliens are utter nonsense. Okarun, the school's resident UFO fanatic, believes the exact opposite. To settle their argument, they challenge each other to visit paranormal hotspots: Momo heads to a UFO sighting ground, and Okarun ventures into a haunted tunnel. What unfolds next is a beautifully chaotic story of young love, bizarrely aggressive aliens, and yokai spirits that will force both of them to cooperate just to survive.

This incredibly energetic and visually spectacular manga is written and illustrated by Yukinobu Tatsu, whose background as an assistant on hit series like Chainsaw Man and Hell's Paradise shines through in every fluid action sequence.
