Differences from the manga[]
The plot differs quite a lot, with reality losing its structure being anime-original. The scenes of Ataru drinking Lum's can of eye drops, his nightmare and him trying to make up with Lum with a drink only to be hit by Mendō and the boys are the only ones adapted from the manga. Apart from that, in the manga:
- The story starts with Ataru refusing to share baked sweet potatoes with Lum and driving her away with garlic smoke, which is what causes her to have an eye irritation and unable to stop shedding tears.
- After being hit by the boys, Ataru speaks with Sakura about his disagreement with Lum. Shortly after, he sees Lum discussing with Ran about what happened, and then walks around town thinking.
- Lum had to keep on crying until Ten got her a new can of the eye drops she used on her spaceship.
- The story ends with Lum returning to Ataru's room and finding numerous baked sweet potatoes Ataru bought in order to make up with her, thus deciding not to tell him what the can he drank really was.
