Viz has released their official English translation of Dragon Ball Minus — the bonus chapter of Jaco the Galactic Patrolman which details Goku’s final days on Planet Vegeta with his father (Bardock) and mother (Gine) — within today’s 2014 #19 issue of Weekly Shonen Jump.
Individual issues are available for $0.99 each, while a yearly subscription (48 issues) costs $25.99.
Dragon Ball Minus was originally released last Friday in Japan within the collected edition of Jaco the Galactic Patrolman, itself available in print as both a regular and “Super Elite” edition. Viz will release their English-language collected edition of the series, both digitally and in print, in January 2015.
