When the Oni, a mysterious race of Aliens, come to repossess the Earth, they give us one chance to save our planet: a champion, selected at random, must defeat their princess, Lum, in their national sport (Tag). Unfortunately for Earth, the champion turns out to be Ataru Moroboshi, a lecherous lad whole lack of luck is legendary.

Now Lum's living in his closet, planning their wedding, and zapping him with high-voltage electricity if he even looks at another woman. His girlfriend isn't sure if she's been jilted or saved from a life of misery, his Lum-crazed schoolmates are plotting to get him "out of the way", his parents are loudly wishing he'd never been born, and to top it all off, a demented Buddhist Monk has been seen lurking around the neighborhood mumbling something about evil spirits and curses.

A god damn long series, like a bad cross between Speices and DNA2.
