Dr. Slump ( Japanese: Dr. ス ラ ン プ ) is a manga series by the Japanese artist Akira Toriyama from 1980 to 1984. The series was implemented in two anime series and several films. It can be assigned to the Shōnen genre. The series is considered one of the most important representatives of the comedy manga and influenced several mangaka such as Eiichirō Oda and Masashi Kishimoto .
content
The manga is about Senbei Norimaki (German for "rice biscuit wrapped in seaweed"), a more or less ingenious scientist who builds a robot girl named Arale Norimaki (German for "small rice biscuit"). "Dr. Slump ”, Senbei's nickname, could not avoid some mistakes in the construction. Arale has enormous powers and can, for example, split the earth in one fell swoop, has a preference for monsters like Godzilla and Gamera , is short-sighted and has no experience of the opposite sex at all. In addition, Pinguinhausen, the hometown of Arale and Senbei, is populated by strange people. These include Suppaman , a would-be superhero who has no actual superpowers, Tsukutsun Tsun , who turns into a tiger when exposed to women, and Gatchan , a small green-haired angel who hatched from an egg that Arale found in the Stone Age , and Nikochan , an alien who wants to go home. This concept is designed for countless jokes, mishaps and funny stories.
publication
Dr. Slump appeared from 1980 to 1984 in individual chapters in the manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump published by Shueisha . The individual chapters also appeared in 18 volumes. Four volumes appeared in Japan. The characters from Dr. Slump made a guest appearance on Toriyama's second major series, Dragon Ball , and the characters from Dragon Ball, in turn, appeared in The New Dr. Slump . The manga was later published in Kanzenban format. In March 2007, a new chapter by Akira Toriyama called Dr Mashirito - ABALE was published in the Japanese manga magazine Monthly Shōnen Jump . It's about Dr. Mashirito Jr. , who after all the failed Caramelmans finally managed to recreate a really nasty version of Arale by the name of Abale.
The manga was published in English by Viz Media , in Spanish by Planeta DeAgostini and in French by Glénat . In France, the manga was the first to appear unreflected. There is also a Polish and a Portuguese translation.
The Carlsen Verlag published the series from 2000 to 2002 in full in German-speaking countries. A fully colored sequel to the manga, drawn by Akira Toriyama's assistant, was published under the title Dr. Slump - News from Pinguinhausen (Japanese: Chottodake Kaettekita Dr. Slump ) also in BANZAI! Magazine (# 7/2002 to # 1/2003), but was discontinued after only seven chapters.
