Synopsis
Relive the acclaimed romantic comedy about an unlucky human boy who meets a beautiful alien princess from space in this large-format edition with brand-new translations and cover designs. In the series, Ataru Moroboshi's supernatural encounters with the ladies begin when he's chosen to play tag with an alien princess named Lum, who invades Earth in her spaceship. Ataru has ten days to touch Lum's horns, or the aliens will take over Earth! As it turns out, the game of tag is just the beginning of Ataru's troubles, as he continues to attract strange encounters with otherworldly beings, such as the beautiful snow spirit Oyuki and the alluring crow goblin Princess Kurama!
Takahiro Kamei (episode director on Strike Witches: Road to Berlin, JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind) is directing the series. Masaru Yokoyama (Horimiya, Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans, 2019's Fruits Basket) is composing the music.
