DAN DA DAN follows Momo, a high school girl from a family of spirit mediums, and her classmate Okarun, an occult freak. The two of them start talking after Momo rescues Okarun from being bullied. However, an argument ensues between them — Momo believes in ghosts but denies aliens, and Okarun believes in aliens but denies ghosts. To prove who is right, Momo goes to an abandoned hospital known for its UFO sightings, and Okarun goes to a tunnel that is said to be haunted. In each place, they encounter overwhelming paranormal activity that transcends comprehension. Amid these predicaments, Momo awakens her hidden power and Okarun gains the power to challenge the paranormal forces. The occult battle begins, as does their fateful love.
