kissaten e no deiri o kinzu!!
[don't forbid us going to coffeeshops!!]
喫茶店への出入禁ず!!
|
|
|
Opening a new coffeshop is always a gamble. You never know if customers
are going to show up. The customers show up all right: Ataru and his pals
are ditching school again and come to have someting to drink. The
teachers aren't very happy with this course of action and want to take
measures to keep them in school.

shijihinkensa da!!
[I'm going to inspect your personal belongings!!]
所持品検査だ!
|
|
|
The only person who would bring a combat-robot to school to carry her
things for her would have to be Lum. The robot doesn't really like being
used for this kind of thing tough. Meanwhile, Onsen-Mark starts an
inspection of everyone's desk and locker. It's incredible what some
people keep in there.

bugaisha chinnyuu
[disruption from strangers]
部外者ちん入
|
|
|
Teaching can be a very tiring thing, espescially in Ataru's class. First
there's Ten flying around. Then there's Cherry cooking a meal. Sakura
removes the nuisance but soon after Benten barges in and throws poor
Onsen out of the class. What other happenings could be in store for him?

madowaji no varentain!!
[deceiving valentine]
惑わじのバレンタイン!!
|
|
|
It's valentine day and again the only one who is getting a load of
chocolate is Mendou. Only Ataru isn't grumbling: he's sure he'll get some
too. He'll have to give up on Shinobu and Ran though: Shinobu gives hers
to Ten and Ran is in her UFO giving hers to Rei. Much to his surprise,
even Lum doesn't have any. Now things look really bad for him.

inochi kakemasu, jugyouchuu!!
[spend your life in class]
命かけます、授業中!!
|
|
|
xtra English classis are laid in for Ataru's class. Nobody is happy with
it of course, since they have to give up their day off for it. Well, there
is one way to boycott the teacher: everyone (and that includes Mendou)
refuses to utter even a single word. Which is still easier said then done.

mendou kyoudai sono 1
[Mendou's sister, chapter 1]
面堂兄妹!!その1
|
| New Characters: Mendou Ryouko |
|
|
Ox-driven carriages are rather rare in these days, so they draw attention
to them. A handkerchief falls out of it and is immediately picked up by
Ataru, who is already thinking about the babe in there...not! A mummy
would be more like it. Later, in class, a most beautiful girl comes in and
Ataru quickly forgets about the unpleasant experience had earlier. But not
for long.

mendou kyoudai sono 2
[Mendou's sister, chapter 2]
面堂兄妹!!その2
|
|
|
Ataru is more than happy to come over to the Mendou-mansion to see Ryoko.
The same can't be said of Shutaro, who has taken every possible precaution
to prevent him from getting in. His efforts were in vain as Ataru manages
to get in anyway. From one thing comes another, and we get to see an
unusual twist in the old Romeo and Juliet theme.

[say hello to the sailor suits]
セーラー服よ、こんにちは!
|
|
|
Two of Ryoko's servants come ot bring Ataru a message: she wants to meet
him the next day. This is much to the disliking of Lum, who literally
keeps him on a leash to prevent him from getting away. As was to be
expected, Ataru escapes and Lum doesn't see him again till class, where
his behaviour as abnormal to say the least.

Japan in the distant past. We're closing in on a man called Musashi. He
thinks his village is cramped and decides to set out on a journey to make
a name for himself. On his way back to the village he is run over by the
villagers. They're following Ataru, who has just stolen a whole cow from

It's rare but Onsen has some time left in Ataru's class. The time has to
be filled in somehow , so why not with a ghost story? According to Onsen
their school is haunted by quite a number of ghosts. Not enough for the
students though, who are quite dissappointed. He makes something up as
fast as he can.

It's like Ataru and Ten will never stop fighting. Even during dinner
they won't stop. The batle is decided quickly and Ataru throws Ten out
of the house. In response to his mother complaint about their fighting
Ataru responds that he can't help it either: it's Ten who always provokes
him. The next day, Ten is still mad and wants revenge bad!

Being a cute little kid like Ten has a lot of advantages. For instance: he
can have a nibble from all the girls' icecream. He has bought a special
orb: if you look into it you will see the person you will be married to.
Lum already knows who she wants to marry, so there won't be any surprises
in there, right?

The usual foursome are on a trip. They've gone to a really remote place:
there's nobody to be seen for miles. Er, except for Cherry that is, who
comes there to meditate. The place is rich in fossiles too: Lum and ten
find one after the other. Too bad all these animals are extinct. It would
be great fun if they could still run around...

Ataru, it was all just a dream, but Cherry is seeing bad omens again.

Ataru is looking for a job for, well, the usual reasons. Preferably one in
