Plot Summary:


Before there was Dragon Ball Z, there was Akira Toriyama's action epic Dragon Ball, starring the younger version of Son Goku and all the other Dragon Ball Z heroes! Meet a naive young monkey-tailed boy named Goku, whose quiet life changes when he meets Bulma, a girl who is on a quest to collect seven "Dragon Balls." If she gathers them all, an incredibly powerful dragon will appear and grant her one wish. But the precious orbs are scattered all over the world, and Bulma needs Goku's help (and his super-strength)! With a magic staff for a weapon and a flying cloud for a ride, Goku sets out on the adventure of a lifetime...

"The original manga by Akira Toriyama is truly a masterpiece. Anyone calling themselves a fan that haven’t read it needs to."

"Okay, how come no one told me this series was so hilarious? Like, even the pervy stuff is just funny rather than kinky. They really don't make manga like this any more! I love how quickly everything came together, and how easily everyone was introduced. Battles don't last a billion pages, the action is easy to follow, and Goku's innocence just makes everything so much funnier. Honestly loved this. I get the hype."
