I enjoyed this and it was funny but I think I'll stick to Ranma 1/2 for my Rumiko Takahashi fix from now on.

Es hat gut getan nach all der Zeit wieder einmal was von Takahashi zu lesen. Ach wenn das ganze von 40 JAhre alt ist und ihrer späteren Werke zweifellos besser sind... Takahasi hat einfach einen unfassbar charmanten Zeichenstiel.

Ich besorg mir den Nachfolgeband.

I love this series so much. The situations Ataru gets himself into are endlessly entertaining and there's always a fun, new alien added to the mix.

This volume is even better than the first, both in story and in the illustrations. There's also a bit of development in Ataru and Lum's relationship. I love it and can't wait to see what volume three holds.

better than the first one because there's more LUM. this made me laugh out loud for real and also parts of it made me really sad, I hope ataru learns to treat her better!
Something I really like in this whole series is how it borders on magical realism, how it talks about japanese folklore in such an irreverent way, it's not something I could see being done in the west of course(but I've seen stuff like it in India like making hindu dietys into superhero figures for example).
