\"Momo,
<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The first episode of the Dandadan<\/em> anime<\/a> adapts a scene that nearly put me off the manga entirely.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In it, a teenage girl is abducted by alien perverts who strip her to her underwear, strap her down with limbs spread, and promise to do sex to her with their \u201cbanana organs,\u201d which are horrifying mechanized phalluses, bristling with attachments and wider than one of her legs. It\u2019s arguably even more horrifying when converted to motion in the anime. <\/p>\n

Sure, the girl \u2014 Momo Ayase, our cool girl protagonist who believes that ghosts exist, but not aliens \u2014 destroys the aliens with her psychic powers before they can touch her, but I balked. Nearly naked teenage girls in nonconsensual sex situations was not my idea of a good time. I pressed on, out of trust in the people who\u2019d recced the manga to me, and a few issues later \u2014 in a scene adapted in this week\u2019s episode 3 of the anime \u2014 Dandadan<\/em> clicked for me.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As a boy \u2014 Ken Takakura, our nerd guy co-protagonist who believes that aliens exist, but not ghosts \u2014 desperately, hilariously, raced to find somewhere to pee, I thought: Oh, I get it, it\u2019s about how the experience of being a horny teenager is the same as approaching a terrifying and potentially threatening unknown.<\/em><\/p>\n

[Ed. note: <\/strong>This piece contains some spoilers for the first three episodes of Dan Da Dan<\/em>.]\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dan Da Dan<\/em>, now streaming on Crunchyroll and Netflix, is the highly anticipated anime adaptation of the hit manga of the same name (styled there as Dandadan<\/em>), produced by Science Saru (Scott Pilgrim Takes Off<\/a><\/em>, Devilman Crybaby<\/em>) on the work of mangaka Yukinobu Tatsu.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The basic premise of both series is of Momo and Ken\u2019s enmity turning to odd-couple friendship as they face all manner of bizarre aliens and ghostly threats. The action begins after a chance meeting, when Momo dares Ken to go to a ghost hotspot, and he dares her to go to an alien hotspot. He gets possessed by a horny ghost called \u201cTurbo Granny,\u201d her abduction unlocks her psychic powers, and those powers turn out to be the only thing that can keep Turbo Granny from taking over Ken\u2019s body and killing everyone he knows.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dandadan<\/em>\u2019s horror elements took the fore at my first, second, and third glances, enhanced by Tatsu\u2019s incredible draftsmanship and composition. But as I gave the manga time to peel back some of its layers, Dandadan <\/em>revealed that it\u2019s high-key a comedy, and low-key a romantic<\/em> comedy<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Despite Ken\u2019s utter social ineptitude, he\u2019s an honorable guy who isn\u2019t trying to get anything out of Momo \u2014\u00a0unlike her first boyfriend, who, despite looking like her favorite actor, is a shithead who just dumped her. She and Ken are both weird kids who struggle to make genuine connections with their peers \u2014 Ken has no friends at all, Momo\u2019s friends tease her for crushing on the Japanese equivalent of a Tom Selleck type<\/a>, she\u2019s deeply insecure about showing any sign of being weird. Maybe they could work out some of their issues if all this ghost and alien stuff wasn\u2019t getting in the way.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unraveling the consequences of Ken\u2019s Turbo Granny possession takes up the bulk of the manga\u2019s first arc, and at every turn, Dandadan<\/em> asks the two teens to reckon with each other\u2019s bodies in the funniest and most mortifying ways. Aliens and ghosts keep showing up and demanding to take possession of either of their \u201cbanana organs.\u201d The curse of the Turbo Granny has made Ken\u2019s penis disappear, to his horror and Momo\u2019s immediate interest \u2014 but it\u2019s the idea of her looking in his pants that is even more horrifying than there being nothing in there.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Momo<\/p>\n

In order to keep the curse at bay, Momo must have line of sight on Ken at all times, which isn\u2019t too tricky until, in a scene in this week\u2019s episode, he realizes he has to pee really bad<\/em>. A wild chase scene ensues as he refuses to drop trou in front of a girl, and she refuses to let him turn into a demon inside her house<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s when it all came together for me: In Dan Da Dan<\/em>, the idea of having sex \u2014 or of having private parts, or simply of having your body regarded by peers who might potentially be attracted to you \u2014 is just as horrifying and ridiculous as evil ghosts and probing aliens being real. It\u2019s about the unnerving age between \u201cEw, cooties\u201d and an adult\u2019s (ideally) comfortable relationship with sex and bodies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The issue isn\u2019t that there\u2019s nothing for Momo to see in Ken\u2019s pants right now, it\u2019s that boys shouldn\u2019t let girls look in their underpants<\/em>! Boys shouldn\u2019t look at girls when they\u2019re undressing. Girls shouldn\u2019t look at boys in the bathroom. Don\u2019t regard or be regarded by those of another gender!!!!!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Yukinobu Tatsu has never revealed<\/a> what Dandadan<\/em>\u2019s title, three rhythmic syllables of mystery, means. But in absence of confirmation or context, I like to think of it as a tidy little onomatopoeia for a pounding heart (lifted directly as a percussive element in the anime\u2019s first theme song<\/a> by Creepy Nuts). The kind of racing pulse that comes from seeing your crush, terror for your own life, and teenage awkwardness each in their own time.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Would you rather die from ghost possession, or let a cute girl see your gross body while you poop? To these two teens, these are equal stakes, and the draw of these risks \u2014 the risks of sex, of dating, of seeking validation from peers, of trying to find someone who shares your weird interests \u2014 cannot be denied. Sometimes the supernatural has lessons for the mundane: Whether the person that wants you to put out is a creepy alien you hate or the crappy boyfriend you like, you don\u2019t owe them shit. Roundhouse kick them in the head or destroy them with your new mind powers, and get the fuck out of there. <\/p>\n

In giving Dandadan<\/em> a second chance beyond its initial, shocking abduction scene, I\u2019ve discovered a manga, and now an anime, that\u2019s really chewing on the horror of the mundane teenage body in fun ways. And is way<\/em> less rapey, in aggregate, than the first episode led me to assume.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, look. I\u2019m still not a huge fan of Momo\u2019s grandma being so hot and looking so young. But there\u2019s a lot more going on under the hood here than I thought. Maybe, eventually, Dandadan<\/em> will have me going to bat for Grandma Seiko\u2019s giant anime boobs. Maybe not. But it\u2019s at least hooked me in for the rest of the arc where they fight a giant crab from on top of a train. <\/p>\n
