As Miss Beelzebub Likes It
Description: Mullin works for Her Highness, Lady Beelzebub, and is something you could call being her secretary. Their working place is Hell, so Lady Beelzebub has to be fierce and strong at all times. However, Mullin is surprised when he finds out that his boss is obsessed with all things fluffy and sweet. Her room is full of fluffy little creatures called Gossamer and she loves to eat sweets.
In his quest to make sure Beelzebub does all of her work and perhaps doesn't sleep naked, Mullin has to cope with his burgeoning crush on his boss and the oddities of the other demons around her, like Azazel and his refusal to talk or Belphagor and her nervous bladder. But even if the job is harder than he expected in some strange ways, Mullin wouldn't trade it for anything… especially because little miss Beelzebub may be starting to like him back.

Fujiko, a buxom redhead with a penchant for betrayal, always gets tangled up in Lupin's capers. The stoic but swift swordsman Goemon is just as inclined to kill Lupin as he is to help him. And Lupin can never seem to lose the relentless Tokyo Police Inspector Zenigata. What sort of trouble will this band of misfits get into next?
Featuring episodes directed by Studio Ghibli founders Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki, this collection includes all 23 episodes of the original Lupin the 3rd TV series! With the original Japanese language, English subtitles, and the brand new English dub!
