 One of the biggest and most underrated manga has recently gotten an anime adaptation. Yes, I am talking about DanDaDan, a supernatural romance comedy from Yukinobu Tatsu, it follows  Momo Ayase, a high school girl who believes in ghosts and spirits, and Ken  Takakura, whom Momo nicknames "Okarun", who believes in aliens but not ghosts.

However, as shown in numerous previous media form, it's not that simple. When the organization he used to work for starts sending other hitmen after him and his family, Sakamoto has to step up to protect them, and protect them he does. Showing that his years as a father and husband haven't weakened him in the slightest, he defeats everyone who is sent after him, often using superhuman feats to do so, ending in hilarious results. Sakamoto Days have a near perfect blend of gut busting comedy and blood pumping action. I am absolutely hyped to see the anime adaptation, that's being done by...
