Volume

Son Goku, a naïve but supernaturally strong young boy with a mysterious tail, meets the brilliant and determined Bulma, who recruits him to help search for the seven Dragon Balls—magical orbs that summon a wish-granting dragon when brought together. Their journey sparks world-spanning adventures involving martial arts tournaments, alien heritage, rival warriors, gods, and enemies who evolve into allies as Goku trains to surpass every limit. From childhood exploration to high-stakes battles, Dragon Ball blends comedy, adventure, martial arts action, mythic fantasy, and character-driven growth, becoming one of the most influential shōnen manga of all time.

Relevant Notes About Akira Toriyama
Toriyama developed Dragon Ball after the success of Dr. Slump, drawing inspiration from Journey to the West, kung-fu cinema (particularly Jackie Chan films), and classic gag manga structure. Toriyama has cited Osamu Tezuka and Akira Sakuma among early creative influences.
