WARNING SLIGHT DANDADAN SPOILERS
Nothing major, but still, just be aware I'll be talking about some minor details we have from the manga so far.
One of the biggest curiosities for me is Okarun's home life and family. As Dandadan has 175 chapters out and well, there's still nothing on his family or home life. And he's the only major lead character to just not have anything offered.
We know Momo's parents are dead and she lives with her grandma.
We know Aira lives with her father.
We know Jiji lives with his parents.
But we just got zilch on Okarun himself.
And there's just some odd and slightly concerning details I see that make me wonder if things at home are ok.
In the age of tech, Okarun has a flip phone over a smart phone. Only one so far to have a flip phone while all others have a smart phones.
Nor does he have a computer at home.
And then you have detail of him wanting to be abducted by aliens, even as a kid.
Which suggests that home isn't really a home for him, he place he doesn't like returning to. A place he'd rather leave. To literally be taken by aliens.
In contrast, the Ayase residence he happily refers to feeling like home. A place to belong and to feel happy to be.
And there are times he stays at the Ayase residence for a good few days, and there's just nothing on needing to contact family. Why, at the end of dealing with Turbo Granny's curse, when he's finally going home without needing Momo to suppress the curse, he's about to bike home without someone coming to get him.
Mindful, I could just be overthinking what his set up could be, as we just don't really have any information on what his home life and family is like. But man I just kinda wonder, is his home life ok?
So I'm curious on what a majority think.
What do you suspect Okarun's home life and family is like?
I suspect he has a normal family and home life, nothing is up
I suspect he just comes from a poor household
I suspect he comes from a household of neglect
I suspect he comes from a household of some sort of abuse
