Vitor Santos ，

Great humour as per usual。

Juniperus ，

better than the first one because there's more LUM。 this made me laugh out loud for real and also parts of it made me really sad， I hope ataru learns to treat her better！ Something I really like in this whole series is how it borders on magical realism， how it talks about japanese folklore in such an irreverent way， it's not something I could see being done in the west of course（but I've seen stuff like it in India like making hindu dietys into superhero figures for example）。 better than the first one because there's more LUM。 this made me laugh out loud for real and also parts of it made me really sad， I hope ataru learns to treat her better！ Something I really like in this whole series is how it borders on magical realism， how it talks about japanese folklore in such an irreverent way， it's not something I could see being done in the west of course（but I've seen stuff like it in India like making hindu dietys into superhero figures for example）。 。。。more

I am ridiculously excited that these have been reprinted。 My original copies have begun to fall apart from re-reading。 I adore Takahashi-sensei's style， and this series does not disappoint。 Slap-stick comedy， love triangles， and scantly clad， sexy aliens abound！ I am ridiculously excited that these have been reprinted。 My original copies have begun to fall apart from re-reading。 I adore Takahashi-sensei's style， and this series does not disappoint。 Slap-stick comedy， love triangles， and scantly clad， sexy aliens abound！ 。。。more

This romantic comedy is out of the world （some of the time。）More zany stories are coming to us thanks to the unlucky and ultimately lecherous Ataru Moroboshi and his space cutie Lum。 In fact the only things that are not really random in this volume are the rivalry of new antagonist Mendo， Lum's attraction to Ataru， and the fact that Ataru is either the luckiest or most unfortunate person in the world as spirits， fairies， and aliens continue to make themselves known to him and his classmates。 I a This romantic comedy is out of the world （some of the time。）More zany stories are coming to us thanks to the unlucky and ultimately lecherous Ataru Moroboshi and his space cutie Lum。 In fact the only things that are not really random in this volume are the rivalry of new antagonist Mendo， Lum's attraction to Ataru， and the fact that Ataru is either the luckiest or most unfortunate person in the world as spirits， fairies， and aliens continue to make themselves known to him and his classmates。 I also want to mention that amidst the randomness of the stories we are treated to tidbits of information between what I assume are the ends of volumes 3 and 4 like information on the characters Shinobu and Cherry as well as a section where they went through all 366 stories and counted things like the total number of Lum's Kisses and how often Ataru's mother brandishes a knife which are fun little things that really bring you more into the series。 :） 。。。more

Damn。 What a difference a volume makes。 I was so uncertain reading Volume One， and now I'm ride or die with this gang。The addition of Mendo really clinched it for me。 He's the perfect foil to Ataru and he's one of those characters that you just love to hate。 That baby alien story is still as funny today as when I first read it ages ago。And that's the other thing - the humor is greatly improved - and you can see that signature Takahashi humor shining through。 I absolutely love this。 Can't wait to Damn。 What a difference a volume makes。 I was so uncertain reading Volume One， and now I'm ride or die with this gang。The addition of Mendo really clinched it for me。 He's the perfect foil to Ataru and he's one of those characters that you just love to hate。 That baby alien story is still as funny today as when I first read it ages ago。And that's the other thing - the humor is greatly improved - and you can see that signature Takahashi humor shining through。 I absolutely love this。 Can't wait to read more。 。。。more

Ridiculous and hilarious

Canesgalactica ，

The second installment brings a little more character development to both Lum and Ataru and introduces some new characters while maintaining the fanciful Japanese folklore appeal of the first。

Dubzor ，

Is it possible to be nostalgic for something you never really experienced？ Because I'm totally getting that feeling from this series。 It's fun， silly， episodic content。 The characters are broad caricatures that show little if any growth， but that's fine somehow。 You love them anyways despite most of them being horrid individuals。There's also a sense of lost innocence as well。 Like other manga there is a fair bit of "fan service" but unlike most manga I've encountered in more modern times， it's e Is it possible to be nostalgic for something you never really experienced？ Because I'm totally getting that feeling from this series。 It's fun， silly， episodic content。 The characters are broad caricatures that show little if any growth， but that's fine somehow。 You love them anyways despite most of them being horrid individuals。There's also a sense of lost innocence as well。 Like other manga there is a fair bit of "fan service" but unlike most manga I've encountered in more modern times， it's extremely tame。 The worst you'll get is a bare breast with dots for nipples。 Anything else is tasteful in comparison to others I've seen。 To be fair， I read LOVE HINA when it first came out in America。。。so anything is bound to be more tasteful in comparison to that manga。The addition of Mendo to the cast and the focus on high-school drama really benefits the series。 While I'd still recommend reading the first volume， I think this is really where the series finds its stride。 。。。more

Chelsea Atchley ，

Retro and funny！

Michael ，

I'd like to see more from Lum， who is essentially the only really interesting character in the series。 The jokes are okay， and the scenarios are wild and fun， but the characters remain thin and Urusei Yatsura doesn't really measure up to Takahashi's better works。 I'd like to see more from Lum， who is essentially the only really interesting character in the series。 The jokes are okay， and the scenarios are wild and fun， but the characters remain thin and Urusei Yatsura doesn't really measure up to Takahashi's better works。 。。。more

The review for this and volume one will be on noflyingnotights。com soon！

Klaus Varias ，

Es hat gut getan nach all der Zeit wieder einmal was von Takahashi zu lesen。 Ach wenn das ganze von 40 JAhre alt ist und ihrer späteren Werke zweifellos besser sind。。。 Takahasi hat einfach einen unfassbar charmanten Zeichenstiel。 Ich besorg mir den Nachfolgeband。

Hayley Etter ，

I love this series so much。 The situations Ataru gets himself into are endlessly entertaining and there's always a fun， new alien added to the mix。 This volume is even better than the first， both in story and in the illustrations。 There's also a bit of development in Ataru and Lum's relationship。 I love it and can't wait to see what volume three holds。 I love this series so much。 The situations Ataru gets himself into are endlessly entertaining and there's always a fun， new alien added to the mix。 This volume is even better than the first， both in story and in the illustrations。 There's also a bit of development in Ataru and Lum's relationship。 I love it and can't wait to see what volume three holds。 。。。more

I liked this better than vol 1。 Much easier to follow along with

Ben ，

More whimsy from Rumiko。 These absurd， interdimensional soap operas on crack keep tickling my funny bone。

I received my copy from the publisher through Edelweiss+。More madness and fun from Lum and Ataru， so what's not to love？ I especially liked the chapter where Lum logs into a computer to check her compatibility with Ataru and it turns out she's the most compatible with someone else whose birthday is April 1。 Maybe I've been reading too much Delany lately， but was that a nod to Stars in My Pockets Like Grains of Sand？ It couldn't be， right？ Wasn't this volume of Urusei Yatsura serialized long befo I received my copy from the publisher through Edelweiss+。More madness and fun from Lum and Ataru， so what's not to love？ I especially liked the chapter where Lum logs into a computer to check her compatibility with Ataru and it turns out she's the most compatible with someone else whose birthday is April 1。 Maybe I've been reading too much Delany lately， but was that a nod to Stars in My Pockets Like Grains of Sand？ It couldn't be， right？ Wasn't this volume of Urusei Yatsura serialized long before that book came out？ Anyway， it was interesting。This was a good installment in the series and I'm looking forward to the next one。 。。。more

This volume being so huge really shows Rumiko's art slowly changing into the familiar style we all know now， the way she draws girls' shapes especially！The cast is slowly expanding to include more regulars: The Crow Princess attempting to make Ataru a better man， Mendo the rich arrogant classmate & exorcist Sakura signed on as school nurseLum even expands her wardrobe a bit with earth girl fashions！ For both disguise & Ataru date purposesAnd of course， everyone is now settled into their personas This volume being so huge really shows Rumiko's art slowly changing into the familiar style we all know now， the way she draws girls' shapes especially！The cast is slowly expanding to include more regulars: The Crow Princess attempting to make Ataru a better man， Mendo the rich arrogant classmate & exorcist Sakura signed on as school nurseLum even expands her wardrobe a bit with earth girl fashions！ For both disguise & Ataru date purposesAnd of course， everyone is now settled into their personas: Ataru no longer just random bad-luck saddled idiot， he's a full perv。 Shinobu not really his g/f anymore just another cute girl to occasionally chase， Lum is a permanent fixture in Ataru's house。。。 。。。more
