Okay!, Okay!, I'll admit
it, I am a HUGE Dragonball Z fan. And you couldn't imagine my excitement
when my parents brought these back for me from America. All your favorite
characters are here in their child form - Goku, Bulma, Yamcha and
many more.
This manga, marks the very beginning of the huge Dragonball saga,
where Son Goku, a monkey boy who lives alone since his foster grandfather,
Son Gohan, died. All is normal for the innocent-hearted monkey boy,
until, that is, he runs into Bulma, a young teen who has that famous
attitude that we all dislike. Bulma is on a quest to search for the
Dragonball's to wish for the perfect boyfriend. When she discovers
that Goku has a Dragonball left to him before his grandfather passed
away, she tries conning him into giving it to her. When Goku refuses,
she tells him that he can keep the Dragonball with him, use it for
the wish, and return home, if he comes along to help Bulma search
for the Dragonballs. Goku agrees and the big adventure starts!
As they travel they run into many strange characters along the way;
Kame Senn'in the master who trained Son Gohan, Yamcha, the desert
bandit, Oolong the perverted pig, and many more. When I started reading
this, not much happened for about 10 pages, then the comedy and the
story really started to pick up, as Goku and Bulma travel on their
quest. Bare in mind that unlike Dragonball Z, this focuses more on
humor than fighting, but this still has an epic story, and an absolute
classic in the ever growing world of anime.
If your new to Dragonball, you'll really enjoy this, and it will leave
you wanting more, if your a Dragonball fan, you will love this even
more. The bottom line: go buy this!
10/10 - A Classic title, for Dragonball fans and non-Dragonball
fans alike
