Sinopsis de Urusei Yatsura
There’s not much to write home about the lascivious Ataru Moroboshi, but his extraordinary bad luck sticks out like horns on an alien’s head. When Earth is threatened by a fleet of alien invaders known as the Oni, Ataru is selected to represent humanity in a duel against one of their number. For Ataru it is a stroke of luck that the duel is actually a game of tag, and that his opponent is Lum, daughter of the leader of the Oni, who puts her personal dignity before victory, as Ataru discovers when seizing the upper part. of Lum’s bikini and, with it, of victory.
Misfortune strikes again, however, when Lum mistakes Ataru’s promise to marry his girlfriend, Shinobu Miyake, for a desire to marry Lum herself, and decides that she quite likes the idea. Using her influence as an alien princess, she moves in with him. Forced to deal with the consequences of his womanizing ways, Ataru must balance his crumbling relationship with Shinobu while keeping Lum happy, all while he flirts with every woman he meets.
