Kintama Hunt Saga

This is the inaugural saga of the Dandadan manga, stretching across the first nineteen volumes and chapters one through one hundred sixty-five, published between 2021 and 2024. It establishes the central duo of Momo and Okarun, sets the tone of mixing yokai horror with alien science fiction, and feeds directly into the Ultimate Yokai Saga that follows.

Momo, who trusts in spirits, and Okarun, who trusts in extraterrestrials, each dare the other to visit a haunt tied to their chosen brand of the supernatural. Both wagers pay off in the worst way. Momo runs into the Serpo while Okarun crosses paths with Turbo Granny, confirming that neither side of the occult debate was wrong. The validation carries a steep toll, since Okarun loses his kintama in the process.

That loss triggers a cascade of supernatural trouble that reroutes both of their lives. What was meant to be a single argument settled becomes an ongoing search to recover the missing pieces, drawing the pair deeper into encounters with yokai, aliens, and the forces feeding off both.

By the saga's close, the recovery effort and the friendships built along the way have reshaped Momo and Okarun's world entirely. The momentum carries straight into the Ultimate Yokai Saga, where the group faces a far more deliberate threat hunting them for their abilities.
