Continuing onward from the previous four chapters, Viz has added their English translation of the Dragon Ball Super manga’s fifth chapter to their website.
With its fifth chapter, the Dragon Ball Super manga skips the Resurrection ‘F’ re-telling from the television series and jumps ahead to the “Champa arc” (including the Universe 6 vs. Universe 7 tournament).
The respective page in our “Manga Guide” has been updated with this release information.
While the Dragon Ball Super television series has been licensed for certain international territories, no announcement has been made for North America.
The Dragon Ball Super manga began in June 2015 as a promotional tie-in for the television series. The manga runs monthly in Shueisha’s V-Jump magazine, with the series’ fourteenth chapter recently printed in the magazine’s September 2016 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 to act as further promotion for the television series. The first collected volume, covering the first nine chapters and one bonus chapter, was released this past April. Viz will release their own collected print edition beginning in May 2017.
