Yukinobu Tatsu writes and draws the DAN DA DAN manga, which began serialization on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ service in 2021. 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) got cursed and ended up with yokai powers. Now they met Aira, who also ended up with special powers and will now need to escape Serpo aliens and a dinosaur together.
