Crunchyroll's official story synopsis for Dan Da Dan reads: "This is a story about Momo, a high school girl who comes from a family of spiritual mediums, and her classmate Okarun, an occult fanatic. After Momo saves Okarun from bullying, they begin to talk to each other, but an argument arises between them because Momo believes in ghosts but denies the existence of aliens, and Okarun believes in aliens but denies the existence of ghosts.
To prove to each other that what they believe in is real, Momo goes to an abandoned hospital where a UFO has been seen and Okarun goes to a tunnel that is said to be haunted. To their surprise, they encounter overwhelming paranormal activity that defies comprehension. In the midst of these dire situations, Momo awakens from her hidden power and Okarun gains the power of a curse to overcome these new dangers! Their fateful love also begins!
