Volume 1 is the first volume of Yukinobu Tatsu's Dandadan.
Synopsis[]
Momo Ayase strikes up an unusual friendship with her school’s UFO fanatic, whom she nicknames "Okarun" because he has a name that is not to be said aloud. While Momo believes in spirits, she thinks aliens are nothing but nonsense. Her new friend, meanwhile, thinks the exact opposite. To settle matters, the two set out to prove each other wrong—Momo to a UFO hotspot and Okarun to a haunted tunnel! What unfolds next is a beautiful story of young love…and oddly horny aliens and spirits?

Omake[]
During their train ride to confront the Turbo Granny, Momo decides to change out of her spirit medium robes. Okarun questions this decision, noting her grandmother's advice that the robes serve as protection against evil spirits. Momo responds that for girls like her, personal style is their combat gear, and without it, she can't be enthusiastic for battle. She then chuckles at the thrill of their predicament, in stark contrast to Okarun, who is battling nausea at the moment.
