Nuevos personajes llegan a la aldea: el terrible alienígena Nikochan, cuya cabeza es un culo enorme y que sueña con conquistar la Tierra, sin que nunca llegue a ser tomado en serio; Donbe, un gracioso zorro transformista que tiene un feroz odio hacia los humanos, e incluso un insoportable niño de 5 años totalmente víctima de la moda.

Naturalmente, Arale y Gatchan harán enloquecer, involuntariamente, a aquellos que se crucen en su camino.

Akira Toriyama (鳥山明) was a Japanese manga artist and character designer. He first achieved mainstream recognition for creating the popular manga series Dr. Slump, before going on to create Dragon Ball (his most famous work) and acting as a character designer for several popular video games such as the Dragon Quest series, Chrono Trigger, and Blue Dragon. Toriyama came to be regarded as one of the most important authors in the history of manga with his works highly influential and popular, particularly Dragon Ball, which many manga artists cite as a source of inspiration.
He earned the 1981 Shogakukan Manga Award for best shōnen/shōjo manga with Dr. Slump, and it went on to sell over 35 million copies in Japan. It was adapted into a successful anime series, with a second anime created in 1997, 13 years after the manga ended.
His next series, Dragon Ball, would become one of the most popular and successful manga in the world. Having sold 260 million copies worldwide, it is one of the best-selling manga series of all time and is considered a key work in increasing manga circulation to its peak in the mid-1980s and mid-1990s. Overseas, Dragon Ball's anime adaptations have been more successful than the manga and are credited with boosting anime's popularity in the Western world. In 2019, Toriyama was decorated a Chevalier of the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for his contributions to the arts.
In October 2024, Toriyama was inducted into the Harvey Awards Hall of Fame.

Entren a l'escenari nous personatges com l'atracador de bancs, la guineu Donbe i la parella d'extraterrestres liderada pel Rei Nikotxan. A més, trobarem la gran operació Calcetes de Maduixa. O siga, un conjunt d'hilarants despropòsits sense cap ni peus: 100% Dr. Slump.

Toujours aussi marrant ! Les vannes ont certes vieillies mais la plupart fonctionnent toujours. Ce manga a totalement un charme de petites histoires indépendantes qui servent un scénario global. Et c'est trop bien !

Històries mítiques, presentació de personatges secundaris emblemàtics, molt d'humor i moltes pàgines en color. Un volum excel·lent.

Un tomo marcado por lo inventos antropomorfos de Sembei, a cual más simpático, y su deseo de conquistar a la profesora Yamabuki. Además de la presencia de Arale, Gatxan y los amigos del colegio, hacen su aparición estelar la repelente Kinoko y el rey Nikotxan junto a su sirviente, dos personajes icónicos con una anatomía muy peculiar.
