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.

Hilarious, one of the funniest manga you will ever read no matter how old it is.

its been nearly 30 years since this manga appear, i can't believe that i laughed so hard. didnt expect this old manga to be this hilarious.

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.

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