Description
[From Viz]:
What would you do if a tiger skin bikini-clad alien followed you to school every day? Poor Ataru's life has never returned to normal since volatile extraterrestrial princess Lum fell for him. Now an excruciatingly wealthy and genteel rival, Mendo, adds to Ataru's torment. Not to mention an unending stream of extraordinary classroom visitors and educational materials including incompetent cherry blossom spirits, a legendary nightmare-eating tapir, and a fourth-dimensional camera that breeches alternate realities.

| this one takes some time by Brainskull on February 21st, 2009, 7:22pm |

| Urusei Yatsura, is a very long, funny (slap stick style), episodic, with very little romance, and is dated but i still liked it. In the beginning i had problems, could not get into it, but after a while it started to grow on me. If you think you can sit down and down and read this bad boy in 1 or 2 maybe even 3 days your sadly mistaking, and if you try you'll just hate it, do what i did take it in bunches. Its funny i used this as an anti depressant, if i felt down or just bored i would pick this up and after 10 chaps. or so it would have picked me up. So my opinion on this, that this is a great light read and if try to take it serious you'll just end up not liking so good luck and happy reading. |

Well, as said, it is slightly out of date. HOWEVER! It is so funny that being out of date does not matter in the slightest. It is funny to the point that it cannot be described in words. And the relationship between the leads is also very deep and well explored. Her first work is, like her later ones, a classic to be read by all. Good ol' Rumiko.

| Lum is forever by pxhai on September 21st, 2008, 11:30pm |

Yeah, no matter how out-dated it is, it's still a gem in the manga industry. Lum has shined for nearly 30 years, and will be many more years. The manga is a bit repetitive, but the hilarity and insanity compensate all the tiny mistakes.

One of the most hilarious out-dated manga out there!
this is the one to read again and again,not to mention the insanity of the characters that will definately make you root for them! |

| It's a classic by L3zl13 on September 16th, 2007, 6:06am |

It"s really funny.
The art was ok by the time it came out, and it became somewhat better by the end of the series.
There is not much story. It's very chaotic. Monsters, demons, aliens, ghosts pop up randomly causing problems while Ataru only wants to get all the sexy girls except the one who would be willing. 
My only problem with it, after a while it becomes too repetitive, and the only exceptions are the few chapters where something romantic happens between Ataru and Lum.
I think it's fun to read some chapters from time to time, but if you try to read the whole series at once you will become bored in a short time.
The separate escapades are very good in themselves, and the story was original by the time of the release, therfore i think it deserves a 10.

| No good for current time by m1sael on March 10th, 2007, 7:48pm |

I guess this manga was good in the 70's but for today's taste is a little boring.
