Shueisha and online retailers have listed the twentieth collected volume of the Dragon Ball Super manga series by Toyotarō as releasing 03 March 2023 in Japan for ¥528 + tax.

Following most previous volumes, the upcoming 20th volume should be set to include four Dragon Ball Super manga chapters, spanning chapter 85-88 — this would complete the collection of the “Granolla the Survivor arc” and head one chapter into the new/ongoing “Super Hero arc”, the first chapter of which was serialized last month. The volume is listed as spanning 208 pages, up slightly over the usual 192 pages, no doubt due to the extended page count of the aforementioned first “Super Hero arc” chapter.

The Dragon Ball Super “comicalization” began in June 2015, initially just ahead of the television series, and running both ahead and behind the series at various points. The manga runs in Shueisha’s V-Jump magazine, with the series’ eighty-ninth chapter coming today in the magazine’s March 2023 issue. Illustrated by “Toyotarō” (in all likelihood, a second pen-name used by Dragon Ball AF fan manga author and illustrator “Toyble”), the Dragon Ball Super manga covered the Battle of Gods re-telling, skipped the Resurrection ‘F’ re-telling, and “charged ahead” to the Champa arc, “speeding up the excitement of the TV anime even more”. Though the television series has completed its run, the manga continues onward, moving into its own original “Galactic Patrol Prisoner”, “Granolla the Survivor”, and now “Super Hero” arcs. Viz is currently releasing free digital chapters of the series, and began their own collected print edition back in 2017; the company’s eighteenth collected volume is due out in June 2023.

The Dragon Ball Super television series concluded in March 2018 with 131 total episodes. Crunchyroll (by way of the merger with FUNimation) owns the American distribution license for the series, with the English dub having wrapped its broadcast on Cartoon Network, and the home video release reaching its tenth and final box set in 2020. A complete steelbook “Limited Edition” was released by Crunchyroll this past September.

Following up on its return to serialization last month, Shueisha and Viz have added the official English translation of the Dragon Ball Super manga’s eighty-ninth chapter to their respective Manga Plus and Shonen Jump services, continuing onward into the brand-new “Super Hero arc”. Alongside other initiatives including free chapters and a larger archive for paid subscribers, this release continues the companies’ schedule of not simply simultaneously publishing the series’ chapter alongside its Japanese debut to the release date, but to its local time in Japan alongside its serialization in today’s March 2023 issue of Shueisha’s V-Jump magazine.
