![]() ![]() However, it lasted for roughly five years. ![]() Slump to last long, as even before it debuted Torishima was asking him what he would draw for his next series. ![]() He went on to state that Torishima does enjoy romance, and that the relationships of Arale and Obotchaman, Akane and Tsukutsun, and Taro and Tsururin were all Torishima's ideas. The act of having Senbei and Midori get married came from having nothing else to draw that week, and it happened quickly because he does not like romance. He also stated that Senbei was supposed to be the main character, but his editor told him to make it Arale instead, which Toriyama agrees turned out better. When Torishima rejected that idea, he made the robot a girl, knowing Torishima would find her 'cute'. Toriyama originally wanted a very large robot, but as it would not fit in the panels, he instead made it small. In one, he claimed that when he told Torishima that he wanted to make a manga about a doctor, the editor told him to add a robot. Slump tankōbon volumes that supposedly depict actual events on the production of the series, although, as they are often humorous, the level of truthfulness to them is uncertain. Toriyama drew several short omake included in the Dr. One of these rejected works, Ageha-chō Kansatsu Nikki ( アゲハ町観察日記), served as a basis for Dr. With Toriyama a newcomer to manga and his editor Kazuhiko Torishima still relatively new at his job as well, the two worked for 18 months with Torishima rejecting all the author's ideas until the first draft of Dr. In addition, other real-life people make appearances as well, such as Toriyama's editor (Kazuhiko Torishima), assistants, wife, his colleague friends (such as Masakazu Katsura) and others. Toriyama himself has been portrayed as a bird (the 'tori' in his last name means 'bird', hence the name of his production studio Bird Studio), although it has been suggested (by himself even) that he actually based the design of Senbei on himself. Also, one of the village's policemen wears a Star Wars-style stormtrooper helmet, just as in the American movies. Unlike Superman, Suppaman cannot fly, and instead pretends to fly by lying belly down on a skateboard and scooting through the streets. For example, one of the recurring characters is Suppaman, a short, fat, pompous buffoon who changes into a Superman-like alter-ego by eating a sour-tasting ('suppai' in Japanese) umeboshi. Slump is filled with puns and toilet humor, and parodies of both Japanese and American culture. Cover of the first manga volume, featuring Arale Norimakiĭr. ![]()
