Customer Reviews

Akira Toriyama is silly and fun.

What a great manga. This is more silly than Dragon Ball. Continuing the story with vol. 2 Dr. Slump is worth it.

Toriyama's Best Series!!!

This is where it all started well before the whole world Dragonball was introduced, at the beginning there was Dr. Slump... A story about a crack scientist, with many personal issues, happens to create a Robot: Arale. The series tells of their slapstick stories as the both cope with learning about their new surroundings (Living with each other and teaching Arale, what to do, etc, the initial stories are very similar to the way Dragonball started, with Goku being clueless and all) in the wacky town of Penguin Village. The Second Book is just as good as the first and is filled with the wonderful dirty humor that Toriyama is famous for. The central theme of it (Possible Spoiler!!!!) is for Dr. Slump to see a certain woman's panties... How does he do it? You'll have to buy it to find out.
