Summary of Urusei Yatsura
Not much is known about the lustful Ataru Moroboshi, but his extraordinary bad luck sticks out like horns on an alien’s head. When the earth is threatened by a fleet of alien invaders called Oni, Ataru is chosen to represent humanity in a duel against one of them. It is a stroke of luck for Ataru that the duel is actually a catch game and that his opponent is Lum, the daughter of the leader of the Oni, who puts her personal dignity above victory when Ataru accidentally takes off the top of her bikini and gets it Victory. Misfortune occurs again, however, when Lum Ataru’s promise to marry his girlfriend Shinobu Miyake forges that he wants to marry Lum and decides he likes the idea. She exercises her influence as an extraterrestrial princess and moves in with him.
