It turns out that a few days ago an interview with the author of DAN DA DAN was released in which he explains everything he had to do to gather information for his work and one of these methods was to read romcom manga. But the surprising thing about this is that it wasn’t just one, two or three works, but 100 romcom stories that he had to read in order to create a perfect balance for the narrative that he manages in DAN DA DAN.

The process to produce DAN DA DAN was quite extensive, but it all started with Yukinobu Tatsu’s taste for the occult that was growing since his childhood. He used to watch shows about these themes that combine many factors and when he investigated little by little about this he was fascinated by this new world. Knowing that there are occult things that simply don’t have a concrete answer and that make you start to let your imagination run wild was the inspiration he used to create the series.

The author of DAN DA DAN found it interesting and funny to imagine two completely different spirits fighting each other, so he spun the story of this series to give it a touch of action combined perfectly with comedy. While this may seem like a theme that could easily be given, having the right combination of elements and adding his personal touch to it is what made this work so popular.

But that’s not all. After creating his first action one-shot, Yukinobu’s editor was the one who suggested he experiment with something different like a romantic comedy, so he sent him 100 shoujo manga for inspiration. Captivated by the interactions after the fights and the reconciliation of the characters, he was inspired to create a story full of occultism, fights and romance as DAN DA DAN.
