Description

Robot girl hijinks from the creator of Dragon Ball! When goofy inventor Senbei Norimaki creates a precocious robot named Arale, his masterpiece turns out to be more than he bargained for! In the epic "Penguin Village Wars," Arale and friends must battle the forces of evil: two alien buttheads and a megalomaniac armed with robotic poop. Elsewhere, Senbei's helper robot force-feeds him ramen, a carjacker refuses to ride with bad drivers, and a miniature house controls destinies in the real world.

Author Biography

Renowned worldwide for his playful, innovative storytelling and humorous, distinctive art style, Akira Toriyama burst onto the manga scene in 1980 with the wildly popular Dr. Slump. His hit series Dragon Ball (published in the U.S. as Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z) ran from 1984 to 1995 in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. He is also known for his design work on video games such as Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Tobal No. 1, and Blue Dragon. His recent manga works include COWA!, Kajika, Sand Land, Neko Majin, and a children's book, Toccio the Angel. He lives with his family in Japan.
