Average rating4
Earth's greatest hero...is from outerspace!
Dragon Ball introduces a young monkey-tailed boy named Goku (a wry update of the classic Chinese "Monkey King" legend), whose quiet life changes when he meets a girl named Bulma 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 could use the help of a certain super-strong boy... (In Japan, Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z were originally a single 42-volume series. VIZ Media's Dragon Ball contains vols. 1-16 of the original Japanese Dragon Ball, from the beginning of the series to the climax of Goku's last fight with Piccolo.)

Read chapters 7-11 today. Completed vol. 1. Really enjoying my first read through this classic series. It's fun and simplistic and a nice comforting read.
I remember watching the show when I was younger. Decided to give it a try but was not expecting this. Granted, I don't read much comics, but this was just not for me.
A 1001 CBYMRBYGU.
Seven dragon balls. Magic wishes. An actual dragon. A pig. The good guys have been imprisoned and the dragon balls have been stolen. Action. Adventure. Manga-ish.
