Volume Information

Volume Introduction by Akira Toriyama

As many of you can probably imagine, doing a weekly manga serial is very hard work. I’ve been doing a weekly serial for 13 years straight and it’s beginning to wear me down physically and mentally. I never considered myself to be the kind of guy who had a lot of grit and willpower. So, thinking of myself and my family, I’m starting to think of ways to take it easy.
