Dr. Slump

A beloved German-language reprint of Akira Toriyama's classic gag manga, Dr. Slump ran from 2000 to 2002 under Carlsen Comics, collecting the inventor Senbei Norimaki's chaotic adventures with his robot "daughter" Arale in Penguin Village across 18 issues. This series brought Toriyama's signature blend of slapstick, absurd humor, and charming artwork to a new generation of readers in Germany, cementing the manga's status as a foundational work of comedic comics long after its original Japanese run.
