Toriyama's picture book, Toccio the Angel

Post by tocciotenshi » Fri Apr 06, 2018 2:17 pm

Akira Toriyama put out a children's book back in 2003 called Toccio the Angel (て ん し の ト ッ チ オ)

"The fat and lazy guardian angel Toccio loves playing so much, but he absolutely hates studying. The head of Paradise, however, is tired of Toccio's behavior and orders him to come down to Earth to help people, if he does not want to lose his place in heaven. Arriving on Earth, Toccio makes friends with a group of animals, helping them with his magical powers."

Also, there's a tank because Toriyama.

Anyway, it's not online anywhere so I decided to scan and upload it for all you good people.

Thanks very much for this, I was hoping it would be translated back when it first came out but no joy. Maybe some generous guy out there will give it a whirl now that you've graciously provided the scans.
