Invaders from outer space are just part of a normal school day for Lum, bikini-clad alien princess, and her unwilling fiancé Ataru, the most lecherous teenage loser in the world. Now meet Lum's archrival, the cute, sweet-tempered, and homicidal Ran, who's returned to Earth to get revenge!

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!

The fourth Return of Lum graphic novel, Trouble Times Ten collects the second half of monthly series The Return of Lum Part Two and the first issue of Part Three.

Shojo Edition - 1st printing. Story and art by by Chiho Saito. Elegance is a way of life at Ohtori Academy. For close to one hundred years, the elite boarding school has values tradition and ceremony above almost everything else. Into this academic milieu walks Utena Tnjou, a short-stressed teenaged girl who favors trim-cut boys clothing. Almost immediately, she finds herself embroiled in sword duels, knotty romantic entanglements and a string of shady alliances. There's a cloud of mystery hanging over the campus of Ohtori and everyone Utena meets harbors a dark and twisted secret.
