Is Dragon Ball SD worth to buy?

[sangofe]

I'm wondering whether or not to spend money on Dragon Ball SD by Naho Ooishi since it's being released in France. Has anyone read a considerate amount of the 9 volumes that are out and could comment on it?

If you like dragon Ball with some what if and some references to Z with some changes then SD might be for you the wiki says that it's a kids manga but they keep some outfits that might not be appropriate for kids but they also changed some things like krilln not dieing but freeza and namic not exploding.
It's klike an dragon ball good ending

But After looking through the prices, it's the same as in regular volume. So I recommend not because it's basically just toned down Dragon ball Manga for for the same price The original uncut manga

But if you still want to read it, then it might be on internet archive but I'm sure.

I does seem like you have not read it yourself. Am I right in thinking that with your reply?

I've read it a bit off and on, and... it's really just Dragon Ball with different art and the occasional minor change. Extremely uninteresting and pointless in general.

Be careful of wikis, many of them are flooded with misinformation.

I also wouldn't judge Dragon Ball SD by random complaints people have thrown at it online. Unless your reading a review by a critic you trust its best to read it for yourself and come to your own conclusions, and assuming some streaming apps have it you may not need to invest in buying the printed volumes right away.

For the record I haven't read Dragon Ball SD, so I can't consider myself an authority on it, nor should anyone else in my position.

On a cursory look though it seems like a fun little re-imagining of Dragon Ball, but the fact it aims at a younger audience shouldn't deter anyone because at the end of the day all this supplemental material also appeals to hardcore fans who like to consume anything Dragon Ball (that includes myself and no doubt many others here) so I may one day try it.

After reading this post a will read some chapters online to see how good it is

It's not funny either?

It's a retelling, not a parody, so it doesn't attempt to be any funnier than the original material it's retelling was.

Oh. I heard on youtube it had funny elements and changes but I guess they are few.

I've read some chapters, it's a retelling that have some jokes, including referencing DBZ and DBS sometimes in the early arcs, like you said i recommend reading some chapters online and see if you like it.

I have the first few volumes and I like it. I's sort of a retelling with winks to future events, done in a cool art style and in full color nonetheless.

Haven't they like... Adapted the whole series by now? Where is it up to?

Kinda wish Naho Ooshi gets to try out drawing new Dragon Ball content but seing how long it has gotten to get to the android saga that probably wouldn't be for a long time. Wonder how her storytelling and art style would be if she had to do as much as Toyotaro.

Completely agree. She has a knack for replicating Toriyama's but giving it her own flair.

The question is though: how well would her art be if she was under time pressure? It doesn't seem like she is with Dragon Ball SD.
