The first of four promised installments for the “Vomic” — “Voiced Comic” — of Akira Toriyama’s Jaco the Galactic Patrolman is now online courtesy of Shueisha.
The first “Vomic” covers (including the title page) 19 pages of the first chapter‘s 35 pages. It has been completely colorized and features slight background music and sound effects. Issei Futamata and Tsubasa Yonaga lend their voices to Omori and Jaco, respectively.
Jaco the Galactic Patrolman was an 11-chapter manga series by Akira Toriyama that ran from the 2013 #33-44 issues of Weekly Shōnen Jump in Japan, and also saw a simultaneous digital release in English by Viz. Originally teased by Shueisha as the “shocking revival of Dragon Ball!!”, by the series’ completion it became clear that it was indeed a true prequel to Dragon Ball.
A collected release of the manga was originally due out in Japan this past January, but was delayed to 04 April 2014 and will include some bonus material such as the reveal of Goku’s mother, Gine.
