Shueisha has released the cover artwork for the upcoming tenth volume (“Legend 10”) of the Dragon Ball manga’s new “Digest Edition” (Sōshūhen), kicking off the “Freeza arc” of the manga re-release series:
These editions are touted as allowing the reader to “enjoy Dragon Ball the same way as when it was serialized in Jump“, and are the same size as the original Weekly Shōnen Jump serialization (JIS B5; 18.2 × 25.7 cm). The volumes feature an exclusive large foldout poster, the original color pages and titles, promotional slogans, text and logos, and next issue previews at the end of each chapter.
“Legend 10” picks up with Chapter 247, will run 422 pages, and is set for release 09 September 2016 for ¥550 plus tax, with the second and fourth Friday of each subsequent month seeing one new volume apiece; though “Legend 10” will release ahead of the normal schedule, “Legend 11” will indeed still see its release 23 September 2016. “Legend 10” is available for pre-order via Amazon Japan and CDJapan.
