Poor teenage Ataru's life has never returned to normal since volatile extraterrestrial princess Lum fell for him... And the wacky friends and foes her tiger-striped bikini-clad presence seems to attract only makes things even worse!

This time, Lum's diminutive cousin Ten bursts onto the scene! Pesky, precocious, fire-breathing Ten sports a tiger-striped diaper and those trademark alien horns, but has the preoccupations of a testosterone-fueled adolescent. Ten spices up the lives of the entire cast of Lum, from hot (literally) dates with gorgeous school nurse Sakura to male-bonding at the ski races, and heats up their holidays, from the alien festival of Setsubun to a very untraditional Valentine's Day!
