The thrilling continuation of Goku’s saga from the best-selling classic manga Dragon Ball returns in the explosive new series Dragon Ball Super, written by the legendary Akira Toriyama himself!

Following the monumental victory over the nefarious Boo, Earth's mightiest hero, Goku, finds himself in a mundane routine. With peace restored on Earth, he faces a tug-of-war between domestic life driven by his wife, Chi-chi, who insists that he finds a respectable job, and his indomitable Saiyan spirit that yearns for the thrill of battle and greater challenges. This period of calm, however, is only the calm before the storm, as looming threats are on the horizon that will propel Goku back into action.

Far across the universe, the enigmatic and fearsome God of Destruction, Beerus, and his wise and loyal attendant, Whis, embark on an intergalactic journey. As they traverse from one planet to another in search of the most exquisite delicacies and captivating entertainment, Beerus remembers a compelling prophecy from his dreams—it speaks of a formidable warrior known as the “Super Saiyan God.” Intrigued and motivated, Beerus sets his ominous sight on Earth, determined to uncover and challenge this mysterious figure.

This new adventure promises to rekindle Goku’s spirit with high-octane battles and unfamiliar foes. Joined by his closest comrades, Goku must once again rise to the occasion to defend Earth. Dragon Ball Super, Vol. 1 not only enthrals readers with stunning illustrations and captivating storyline but also reintroduces beloved characters while expanding the rich lore of the Dragon Ball universe. Dive into this exhilarating world where every chapter promises edge-of-the-seat excitement and spectacular martial arts prowess.

Fans of the original Dragon Ball series will revel in this seamless continuation that retains the charm, humour, and intense action that made Akira Toriyama’s work a timeless masterpiece. Dragon Ball Super is not just a journey for Goku but an epic for readers who crave adventure, thrill, and the undying spirit of the Saiyan warriors.

About the Author

Renowned worldwide for his playful, innovative storytelling and humorous, distinctive art style, Akira Toriyama burst onto the manga scene in 1980 with the wildly popular Dr. Slump. His hit series Dragon Ball (published in the U.S. as Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z) ran from 1984 to 1995 in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. He is also known for his design work on video games such as Dragon Quest, Chrono Trigger, Tobal No. 1 and Blue Dragon. His recent manga works include COWA!, Kajika, Sand Land, Neko Majin, Jaco the Galactic Patrolman and a children's book, Toccio the Angel. He lives with his family in Japan.

Toyotarou created the manga adaptation for the Dragon Ball Z anime’s 2015 film, Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F. He is also the author of the spin-off series Dragon Ball Heroes: Victory Mission, which debuted in V-Jump in Japan in November 2012.
