Lum's cute-but-bitter arch-nemesis Ran proves she can hold a grudge for a long, long time when she renews her attack on Lum in the eighth volume of The Return of Lum!

When Ran's jealous heart gets the best of her again, she launches two ill-conceived plots involving alien technology to steal Ataru from Lum. First Ran clones Ataru, forever answering the question of whether you can ever have too much of a good (bad?) thing.

Then, Ran sics a "personal controller" on Ataru to make him even more annoying than he already is (if that's possible!). And finally, when dimwitted but hungry alien hunk Rae visits Earth, Ran is driven to even greater paroxysms of jealousy!

Plus, Sakura concocts a love potion, Ten molts his horns, and a chilly ghost cat haunts the Moroboshi household.
