In this case, the first part of the episode is completely original for the anime (Taru trying takoyaki and the parade parts) while the second one adapts chapter 14.
Later, Egawa himself would ask Tsuru to play the role of Onna Sachou / Madamme President in another Egawa adaptation, "GOLDEN BOY".
I will take this chance to comment on Ooaya Mari's seiyuu, who was Tsuru Hiromi, well known for being Bulma from Dragon Ball. She passed away in 2017.
When you look for "Magical Taruruuto Kun" reviews, many Japanese people remember it as one of the first series that awakened their sexuality. Egawa's erotic touch in the children's television slot (NichiAsa/ニチアサ). Unthinkable nowadays. This episode is packed.
This second episode is also a mix of two chapters of the manga, in this case the 4th and the 9th. Mixing episodes will be common throughout the series.
Remember: Perhaps someday, he may save Japan, or even the World...
記憶する: 日本を…いや世界をも救う男。

I would have loved for Taru's father to appear in the series again at some point.
This first episode is a mix of chapters 2, 3 and 5 of the manga. One of the main differences is that the first chapter of the manga is a one-shot with a self-conclusive story that the anime omits.
