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 a special dramatic episode of Dr. Slump, Senbei, Arale, and friends try their hand at law enforcement—with predictably hazardous results. And when Peasuke loses his heart to a tall sixth grader, Arale uses the Big-Small Ray Gun to make her small—so small that they lose her in the grass!

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.
