In 1999, this educational anti-piracy manga was written and drawn by Akira Toriyama and would later be given out to Japanese elementary schools starting in 2001. The manga itself was published by Shueisha but the actual rights are owned by kidscric, a company that seems to specialize in the education of Japanese kids on copyright. The story was made within the era of the Dr. Slump revival that had been airing on TV at the time and as such, the character designs are more evocative of those while also adding in elements of the 1980s original. It is incredibly obscure and has only been published physically. For the basic story, the Penguin Village Art Museum has decided to hold a festival showcasing art made by its denizens and it just so happens to come as Arale and her friends are learning about the wonders of copyright. Unbeknownst to them, King Nikochan has hatched another scheme to try and escape Earth and return home and this one involves theft of the physical variety as well as of intellectual property. Will Nikochan finally return home but at the expense of artists or is yet another failure within his midst?
