Chapters 1-11

Inventor Dr Senbei has been in a bit of a ‘slump’ so is widely known by the nickname Dr Slump. In a desperate attempt to gain respect he creates the most realistic android ever and names her ‘Arale.’ To prove his genius he wants to prove Arale is so realstic that no one will be able to figure out she isn’t human. Trouble is Arale has a thing for giant monsters and Ultraman and doesn’t think that using her super strength is that unusual.

Viz/ Japanese version edit guide:

Page 41 – Title of Senbei’s adult magazine changed from Porno to Lecher.

It’s important to note though that actually the scribbles on the magazines refer to Japanese censorship laws as explained in the Viz translators notes so those are not Viz edits. At the time of release several sites also reported that Gatchan was edited, in the bath sequence we remind you that
‘he doesn’t have one’ :3
