Dr. Slump Manga, volumes 1 and 2

Volume 1

He ends up dressing her like a boy. She drops a hand-grenade in his mouth to wake him up. Arale demonstrates that she's super-smart and extremely strong.

There are also fun cards that can be cut out or photocopied. They include Arale, Gatchan, Senbei Norimaki, Akane Kimidori, Taro Soramame, Peasuke Soramame and Mikdori Yamabuki. There's also a bunch of other extra things for coloring, cutting out, etc.

There's a really funny section about Arale pointing out that she has something missing and she wants one since all the other girl's all have one and it's not what the reader might think it is. Dr. Slump is also a pervert, by the way, making glasses to see through clothes.

A guy kidnaps Arale and a hilarious section follows with the revelation that Arale's power can run down. Later, all the sports clubs at school want Arale to join them. She tries out for various of the clubs with funny results.

Arale makes friends with a bear and she and Dr. Slump help it get fit for release into the wild. When the release it, though, it's shot by a hunter and Dr. Slump alters the bear into a cyborg bear. Before long the first poop joke appears. Dr. Slump invites a big-small ray gun. Then there's a section dealing with a camera he invented that takes pictures of the future of something.

Then the next invention is a time machine. Of a sort. They go back to the time of the dinosaurs and Arale gets an egg and they bring it back with them. It hatches and turns out to be Gatchan. Gatchan eats anything and has wings.

Volume 2

The police of Penguin Village, where Arale and the others live, are terrified of Arale's strength.

There's also various activities in the book like coloring in a page.

There's a funny lunch scene, and a scene where Akane ties a rope to Arale, gets on a skateboard and has Arale pull her fast. Arale then gets a tummy ache and Senbei (Dr. Slump) has to open her up and extract the lunch she 'ate.'

Bubibinman makes his appearance. He's from outer space, has wings and fake insect eyes. A bunch of funny things happen and the fly-like Bubibinman ends up eating poop and enjoying it.

Senbei invents a machine that allows you to put in a picture and it will make it turn into reality. Then Arale gets her turn with it.

A crook takes Arale and Gatchan captive. His mistake. Big mistake.

Arale's teacher is coming to visit so Senbei invents a barber machine to cut his hair. It doesn't go well, of course. Arale and Gatchan dress up in monster costumes.

Then there's a section on catching frogs. Yep. And Arale catches Senbi by using a picture from a girlie magazine. He then invents the Ponpoko Morph Gun. It can change things into other things. Arale gets hold of the gun and turns Senbi into a monster.

The next story's about the kids going back into the past and seeing really neat things and having lots of fun. The bank robber then makes another appearance and so do the police, one of whom is wearing a Stormtrooper helmet. The robber takes Senbi and another guy hostage but when Arale and the others come in he runs off, begging the police to save him from Arale.

Then a TV guy shows up and it gets wilder from that point on. Arale literally splits the moon in two.

The next thing up is when Senbei works very intensely on figuring out a way to see Midori's strawberry panties. Yes, he's a pervert. But a very scientific pervert. He fails at his first attempt to constructs a second Rube Goldberg-type device.
