Originally announced back in December in conjunction with Jump Festa and again with the final 40th Anniversary Tribute “Dragon Ball Super Gallery” entry, Shueisha has confirmed a new “Dragon Ball Complete 42-Volume Set Double Cover Box” releasing 04 February 2026 in Japan for ¥31,800.

The new set covers the original, full, 42-volume tankōbon run of the Dragon Ball manga with two versions of its cover art: the dust jacket portrays the 40th Anniversary Tribute “Dragon Ball Super Gallery” submissions by various artists used for the back covers of Shueisha’s Saikyō Jump between 2021 and 2024, while the book itself is printed with the updated version of the original tankōbon cover art that Shueisha began printing in 2009.

The new books come in a four-part box that features both the original and 2009-updated spine art. The box also comes packed with eight dividers and a 42-card set of postcards with both the original and tribute artwork.
