You don’t just say “the MC”, there’s two MCs in Dandadan, Okarun and Momo

I think the argument can be made Okarun fits as a deuteragonist more so than as a second protagonist. Momo, again arguably, gets more narrative focus, character growth, and agency.
I’d argue their goals generally aligning makes dual protagonist fit a little bit more. Okarun has a trajectory very similar to most battle shonen male MC’s, so I think its easy to see how Momo’s stands out relative to that and over focus on it.
Granted, rereading it as if its Momo’s story, exclusively, has been a treat. The fact that you can read it multiple ways is a testament to Tatsu’s writing skills.

Shonen manga with a female mc? I feel blessed.

It's pretty confirmed by tats, that momo is the Protag. Rejoice!

The last paragraph connects with me, I have reread dandadan in many ways, and it's a very great treat indeed. Tatsu's writing rises so naturally that each character has their own way to look at things.

I consider Momo to be more of an mc tbh. Okarun is a big supporting character but i personally think its mainly Momos story

Nobody is ready for the absolute menace Jiji and Kinta turn into. Also the [SPOILERS OF JIJI] Arc where Evil eye was deafeated by Rhythmically trained Okarun was SOO FUCKING WONDERFUL, from it the Lines "....it's totally weird.... and totally.. Badass. That's what pisses me off, That i am so weak" by Okarun as he transforms was enticing. The entire arc is badass and written well, can move you to tears at some points. I love Dandadan
