Tokyo, Tomobiki Town. Lum, the gorgeous princess of the invading alien race of Oni is smitten with high school student Ataru Moroboshi. A dedicated womanizer, Ataru is unfazed by Lum’s fierce electric shock attacks and continues his daily hunt for pretty girls. With a host of other unique characters, including girl-next-door Shinobu, elegant shrine maiden Sakura, Lum’s best friends Oyuki, Benten, and Ran, Buddhist Monk Cherry, Ten, the little brat, heir to a wealthy family Shutaro Mendo and the masculine beauty Ryunosuke…it's a classic slapstick love comedy where anything goes!
"To save Earth, unlucky Ataru must win a high-stakes game of tag against a beautiful alien. Luckily his friend Shinobu has offered a helping hand (in marriage) as motivation!"
"Ataru can run, but he can't hide \u2014 not from Lum, and not from the gorgeous shrine maiden Sakura's eagle eyes. She can tell at a glance that he's in dire need of exorcism!"
"Two's company. Three's a crowd. And when a FOURTH party enters the Lum\/Ataru\/Shinobu situation? Things get pretty scary in Ataru's already complex love life!"
"Lum ain't the only alien princess in town. The new arrival has her sights set on a certain boy \u2014 but her vassals are keeping a scandalous secret from their ruler!"
"Are aliens invading again? Nope \u2014 it\u2019s just Ataru, Meno and Lum\u2019s mothers invading Parents\u2019 Day! But a language barrier may turn this meeting of the moms into pure mania."
"What\u2019s this? A handkerchief? It smells divine, so it MUST belong to a total hottie. Definitely not a nightmare creature or anything like that. Ataru\u2019s nose cannot be fooled!"
"Lum\u2019s cousin Ten thinks Lum should look for greener romantic pastures! And if Lum can\u2019t see reason, Ten will burn her relationship with Ataru to the ground."
"The girls in class aren\u2019t the only snacks Ataru has his eye on. When teachers crack down on off-campus snacking, a no-holds-barred snack battle begins!"
"All\u2019s fair in love and\u2026 baseball? It\u2019s time for a showdown on the baseball diamond! And once the dust settles, a \u201clove letter\u201d stirs up trouble."
"Ryunosuke teams up with three delinquents to help Shinobu ward off an unwanted suitor. Later, Ataru\u2019s family must be careful what they wish for."
"There is nothing suspicious about the lipstick Lum wants to put on Ataru. Nope, nothing suspicious at all. Later, Ataru\u2019s class takes the dreaded Yaminabe food challenge!"
"The finalists have different motives. Lum wants Ataru\u2019s attention, Ran wants to get in Lum\u2019s way, Shinobu and Sakura want the money, and Ryunosuke has something to prove."
"Surely Ataru wouldn\u2019t misuse bubble gum that has the power to create whatever he wants. But would that be worse than Lum losing the ability to speak other languages?"
"Relationship drama swiftly follows when Kurama sets her eyes on Rei. Speaking of relationships, Mendo discovers that he\u2019s engaged to Tobimaro\u2019s sister."
"Shinobu, Lum, and Ataru take an unexpected trip to the future. The good news is they discover who their spouses are. The bad news is their disappointment is immeasurable."
"The trio are determined to find their ideal futures, but each one they find leave them unsatisfied. And Inaba\u2019s coworkers are not happy with the group\u2019s meddling."
"Whether it\u2019s an octopus or a girl burdened by regrets, spirits need assistance from the living. Unexpectedly, Mendo and Ataru find themselves navigating these burdens."
"Whodunit? No one saw what happened to the principal despite all of them being in the same room. Later, chaos ensues when flowers start spreading rumors around town."
"Lum finds herself in a race against time to save Ataru. Later, a certain fox seeks to recreate an old legend with magic horsetail shoots. Even later, Mark meets Lum's parents."
"Ryunosuke and her father are now the proud owners of a seaside cafe and an island after paying a suspiciously cheap price! Later, a fairy asks Ten to find his missing parasol."
"Nagisa needs a kiss from Ryunosuke to pass on, which is easier said than done. Later, Mark threatens his class with supplementary lessons if he catches them talking."
"Ten must apologize for ruining Ataru\u2019s scarf, but how? Later, candy hearts have the same effect as love potions. Meanwhile, the Dark Dominion lies on the horizon."
"Ataru and Mendo team up with Lum\u2019s friends to save her from a forced marriage. But they aren\u2019t the only ones who\u2019re trying to stop the wedding."
