The Electrifying Comedy that Shocked Japan!

It isn't easy being a guy-especially if you're Ataru Morobishi, the luckless lecher of love by Lum, the aviating Alien Princess with a very short temper.

Lum doesn't need much assistance going ballistic when everyone in Tomobiki gets an invitation to Ataru's wedding...and she's not listed as the bride! It seems that some 11 years ago, Ataru played "Shadow Tag" with a young girl named Elle and won. Unfortunately, Elle was yet another Alien Princess; and on her planet, if a boy steps on a girl's shadow, they have to be married!

When Elle's emissary comes to make arrangements, Lum redefines the term "the atmosphere was electric," but to no avail; a force-field now protects Ataru from her high voltage love-zaps. Lum's friend Benten suggest a pre-emptive wedding, and they proceed to abduct Ataru and all of the wedding guests. With some help from her parents, Lum manages to break the force field. However, before the emergency wedding can occur, Elle's fleet attacks, and Ataru and the entire "wedding party" are re-abducted to Planet Elle. While Lum & Co. plan to re-re-abduct Ataru, his rival Mendou and his long-suffering semi ex-girlfriend Shinobu find out that Elle has a hobby: finding handsome men and freezing them! Alas, Mendou is slated to be slotted onto slab 100,000!

After Ataru finds out about Elle's sideline, he decides not to marry her, on the grounds she's been unfaithful (a real leap, considering he's been planning on turning Planet Elle into his own private harem!). Needless to say, Elle doesn't take this well. She promptly claps him in irons and orders his friends shipped home in Popsicle boxes. And so, as the sky is lit up by colliding battle-fleets, the stage is set for the shotgun wedding of all time!
