It is not often that we get new manga from Akira Toriyama. Jaco the Galactic Patrolman started as a fun little story back in 2013 with a new trio of characters, but by the time its collected edition saw a print release in Japan, we not only had a full Dragon Ball prequel on our hands, but an additional chapter causing us to rethink the entire back-history of the series!

The majority of this review was actually written back during its original serialization. When the final chapter announced a collected edition for that upcoming January, I decided to hold off until then. January came and went with an official delay and then the announcement of Dragon Ball Minus, so this review now encompasses everything…!

While Viz’s edition of Jaco the Galactic Patrolman is no longer available digitally chapter-by-chapter (and their collected edition is still a ways off), their English translation of Dragon Ball Minus is still available for purchase digitally.
