Dandadan (ダンダダン) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yukinobu Tatsu [ja]. It has been serialized in Shueisha's Shōnen Jump+ app and website since April 2021, with its chapters collected in 14 tankōbon volumes as of April 2024.

Momo Ayase is a high school girl who believes in ghosts but not aliens, while her classmate Okarun believes in aliens but not ghosts. In a bet to determine who is correct, the two decide to separately visit locations associated with both the occult and the supernatural—Ayase visiting the former, and Okarun visiting the latter. When the two reach their respective places, it is revealed that both aliens and ghosts do exist.
Before the serialization of Dandadan, Yukinobu Tatsu had worked as an assistant for Tatsuki Fujimoto's Chainsaw Man and Yuji Kaku's Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku.[5] The serialization was confirmed during a meeting for Shōnen Jump+ in the second quarter of 2020. However, Tatsu started Dandadan after Chainsaw Man and Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku had finished because he wanted to complete his role as an assistant until the end.[6]
Dandadan is written and illustrated by Yukinobu Tatsu [ja]. It began serialization in Shueisha's Shōnen Jump+ app and website on April 6, 2021.[7] Shueisha has compiled its chapters into individual tankōbon volumes.
