Mother is the leader of the acting troop who takes care of Corona.  She is the one who decides that they should raise her and &quot;act&quot; as a family, though she really does love Corona.

When a motley band of travelling performers have a deep-space collision with another spacecraft, they find that the sole survivor of the other craft is a humanoid infant. They decide to raise the child as their own on the nearest planet as they wait for other members of the girl's race to come and find her.

When a motley band of traveling performers have a deep-space collision with another spacecraft, they find that the sole survivor of the other craft is a humanoid infant. They decide to raise the child as their own on the nearest planet as they wait for other members of the girl's race to come and find her. Corona-chan grows up as their daughter, and the manga details her five-year-old adventures with her fuzzball mother, her robot-soldier father, her living-central-nervous-system pet, and the other bizarre members of the local village.


Original version of the manga, first serialized on Petit Apple Pie. After the series was rebooted in Shonen Captain magazine, this version was re-published as Ganzo Uchuu Kazoku Carlvinson (元祖宇宙家族カールビンソン) and as Uchuu Kazoku Carlvinson Original (宇宙家族カールビンソン オリジナル).
