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 — 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!

Hellooooo, nurse! A new nurse just started working at Ataru's school, and she's a total babe… but wait. Does she look familiar?

A monster lurks in the depths of the hotel pool, but it's not half as creepy as the ne'er-do-wells lurking around Nurse Sakura at the beach…

An ominous omen. A pessimistic portent. A scary sign. Call it whatever you want, but one thing is clear: Fate will not be kind to Ataru today!

Are aliens invading again? Nope — it’s just Ataru, Meno and Lum’s mothers invading Parents’ Day! But a language barrier may turn this meeting of the moms into pure mania.

The girls in class aren’t the only snacks Ataru has his eye on. When teachers crack down on off-campus snacking, a no-holds-barred snack battle begins!

Ryunosuke teams up with three delinquents to help Shinobu ward off an unwanted suitor. Later, Ataru’s family must be careful what they wish for.

Three punks challenge Lum and her friends to a duel after stealing Benten’s precious chain.

The finalists have different motives. Lum wants Ataru’s attention, Ran wants to get in Lum’s way, Shinobu and Sakura want the money, and Ryunosuke has something to prove.

Surely Ataru wouldn’t 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?

Lum has a new suitor, but it doesn’t take long before there’s trouble in paradise.

Life is full of unexpected events, like an extra lively kotatsu purchase and Lum believing she’s turning into a cow.

Whether it’s an octopus or a girl burdened by regrets, spirits need assistance from the living. Unexpectedly, Mendo and Ataru find themselves navigating these burdens.

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.

What kind of training is Mendo doing, anyway? Lum and Ataru are going to find out.

Asuka and Mendo go on a date and to say things don’t go as planned would be a vast understatement.

Inaba returns and has an important question for Shinobu.
