Ataru Moroboshi is the lead of Urusei Yatsura, Rumiko Takahashi's manga that ran from 1978 to 1987 and has been animated twice, most recently from 2022 to 2024. He is a high school student in Tomobiki, and the name a computer picks when aliens challenge humanity to a game of tag.
What makes Ataru Moroboshi stand out
The tag game.
He has one week to touch the horns of the alien oni he is matched against; if he fails, the invasion goes ahead.
Unlucky by design.
His bad luck pulls in strange residents from the planet, the spirit world and the galaxy, and they keep arriving.
Hard to kill.
He absorbs electric shocks and worse and comes back for more; his durability is a running gag.
What this collection covers
