In a captivating episode of Dan Da Dan, titled “First Love,” viewers are introduced to Jiji, who moves in with Momo and her family, sparking a series of humorous and heartfelt events. This episode explores Jiji’s unique personality and the challenges he faces, while also highlighting the developing relationships among the characters.

The episode opens with Momo welcoming Jiji into her home. Okarun, another key character, expresses doubt about Jiji’s sincerity as he observes Jiji’s playful antics. Seiko, Momo’s guardian, informs her that Jiji will be living with them due to his parents being hospitalized. Momo learns that Seiko wanted to help Jiji’s family during this tough time.

Aira, a friend of the group, believes Momo is gathering allies for a significant conflict, prompting her to seek support for her own side. Meanwhile, Okarun leaves, telling Momo he will see her the next day. Momo, curious about Jiji’s situation, asks Seiko why he is staying with them.

As the story unfolds, Jiji and Momo are assigned dish duty together. Jiji expresses regret for teasing Momo in school and shares a troubling secret: he can see ghosts. He shows Momo a picture of a strange monster that has been haunting his home and claims that his parents’ health has declined since he first saw it. Jiji reveals that he sought help from various spirit mediums, many of whom met unfortunate ends.

Seiko declines to assist Jiji, stating that her abilities are limited to Kamigoe City. She suggests that Momo could help instead. In exchange, Seiko promises to fulfill a clothing request from Momo if she helps Jiji.

Later, Momo’s teacher introduces Jiji to the class, encouraging him to sit next to Momo. Okarun, in another classroom, worries that Momo might lose interest in him if she rekindles feelings for Jiji. He decides to go outside to train, and Momo arrives shortly after, warning Okarun to control his actions.

Jiji then tries to capture Momo’s attention with a specific type of yogurt. Just as Okarun prepares to leave, a living anatomical model rushes past him. Okarun avoids it, but Momo tries to intervene and is saved by Jiji. Using her psychic powers, Momo manages to grab hold of the model as it runs away.

Okarun transforms and joins Momo and Jiji to try to catch the model, but it escapes. After returning to normal, Okarun observes Momo as she attempts to communicate with the model, which suddenly hears a voice calling for “Hana.” The model, named Taro, seeks out Hana, a female anatomical model. Taro confesses his love for Hana, explaining how she has changed his perspective on life.

The episode concludes with Okarun watching the interaction between Taro and Hana, his expression reflecting a newfound determination.
