Dragon Ball Super, vol. 1Writer: Akira ToriyamaArtist: ToyotarouViz Media; $9.99Rated T for TeenThe anime series Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z, which ran for a whole decade on Japanese television, were based on artist Akira Toriyama’s epic 11-year, 519-chapter manga series, Dragon Ball. The newest Dragon Ball comics, which just saw print release in the United States this month in the form of Dragon Ball Super, vol. 1, are exactly the reverse: They are comics adaptations of an anime series.That anime series is also called Dragon Ball Super, which takes its name from the existence of giant, planet-sized Dragon Balls, which are quite literally super-sized. Set a few years after the events of the Dragon Ball Z series (and ignoring Dragon Ball GT), it opens with Goku appropriately enough retired from the fighting game, somewhat listlessly applying himself to farming when he’s not busy training.He and his friends and family are plunged back into high-stakes battles for the fate of the planet when Lord Beerus, a god of destruction, awakens and comes to Earth seeking a true challenge. Beerus, who looks like a bipedal hairless housecat, zeroes in on the Saiyans and, like so many of Goku’s foes, becomes rather enamored with him, and they eventually become allies of a sort.Toriyama is credited with writing and supervising the manga adaptation, while artist Toyotarou handles the actual drawing. The manga races through the first two arcs of the TV series, versions of which were also told in feature film format as Battle of The Gods and Resurrection of F, before the storyline really begins to take shape.Consistent with the franchise’s there’s always someone stronger precept, Goku learns that Beerus is only one god of destruction, that of his universe, Universe 7. His twin brother, Champa, is the god of destruction of the neighboring Universe 6, and when the pair come into conflict, it is decided they will settle it in an extremely Dragon Ball fashion: A martial arts tournament that pits a team of the greatest fighters from each of the twin dimensions against one another.Naturally, Beerus’ team includes Goku, and Goku’s former-enemies-turned-allies Vegeta and Piccolo, while their opponents include alternate dimension versions of a Saiyan and Freeza, the worst villain Goku and his friends had ever faced. By the close of this first volume, Goku has defeated one bizarre alien opponent and is well into his battle with the Freeza-like foe.If one isn’t already enamored with Dragon Ball, either the manga or the anime, it is hard to imagine that Dragon Ball Super will suddenly win them over. Not only is it bursting at the panel gutters with the franchise’s huge cast, including minor characters from the very first volume of Dragon Ball, but it repeats familiar beats so regularly and faithfully as to be either tiresome or welcome, depending on one’s level of affection for the the characters and their past adventures.

Perfect 7* !!!
First of all, thank you seller for importing and making it available for sale in India. Good job keep it up. :)Secondly, if you are a die hard Dragonball fan, then nothing can give you more pleasure than reading Manga based on Dragonball.The story of this manga is slightly different from the story of TV series.If you are a TV series follower, this manga will take you back to beerus Arc as well as golden Freiza's arc. It does contain universe 6 arc as well but it does not completely cover it. You have to purchase vol.2 to read and follow up the entire universe 6 arc.What makes manga different from TV series- Art work is brilliant- added and in depth story which was never ever seen in TV series ( probably provides more information )- easy to understand and flow of the manga is smoothWhat I felt negative about this manga.There were slight changes made by writer which seems to be bit wierd.Over all, I will rate it as 7/5. Since 7 is the lucky number for we Dragonball Fanboys!So, what are you guys waiting for? Just grab it off! And continue your support to Akira toriyama by showing your love :)Must buy for die hard Dragonball fans!

Good Story as always
There is nothing to review its dragon ball its good although I think manga handled super saiyans forms much better in the anime goku goes SS blue for every fight even against krillain making it less special and SS God was forgotten for about 100 episodes but in the manga every form is utilized accordingly and also manga closes many plot holes I have after watching anime. As for this MANGA the story is from start of super to middle of universe 6 tournament saga and anyone should give a try if you are a fan of dragon ball.
