Volume Information

Volume Introduction by Akira Toriyama

To be honest, I’m always struggling to come up with something to write about here. If you’re busy working on a weekly serial, then there shouldn’t be anything all that special happening in your life to write about. What’s even more pitiful is coming up with the “What’s happening this issue” promo text for the table of contents in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine. This is a secret, but more than half of the comments made on that page are actually written by my editor, Kondō-san. He always asks me, “Did anything interesting happen this week?” Nothing really did…
