Where can I download Dragonball Manga?

Chibi · Post by **Chibi** » Tue Jul 29, 2008 3:54 pm

I really am pumped up into making my own fan fic, but I need scrutiny, someone that really knows, what sites I can go to, to download legitimate Viz English Translate Manga, and Original Japanese Manga. For Canon reference so my fan fiction tale does not contradict the Manga. Please anyone know?

There are a few wonderful sites. Try www.amazon.com or www.barnesandnoble.com or maybe www.booksamillion.com

(I'm trying to save you from yourself, here)

Oh

So there's no sites where I can get them provided to me for free?

Support the franchise. Por Favor.

I'm sure there are. But it is highly, highly, HIGHLY frowned upon, at this site, to ask for links to them.

If you're truly concerned with accuracy, then read some sumamries and find some info sites.

With the new VIZBIG releases, Dragonball manga has never been cheaper. So, just buy the official releases.

The more that is bought, the longer DBs life will be is how I see it. You can get all of the manga of DB and DBZ for only a little over $100 (not bad for 42 books

).

Yah it's all very cheap now; the dub "remastered" box sets are down to about $23 on Amazon, which i about $0.63 an episode.

Not quite "manga" but still a valid point, I guess.

Ebay, if your looking for those prices, but they'll usually be used, but still totally worth buying.

Well they're $7.95 each at Borders, so it's a lot more than $100

I ended up getting the vast majority of the VIZ manga back when RightStuf had this huge sale where the manga volumes were al super cheap. I got so many that they had to give it to me in two shipments. Overall it was significantly under $200 for all 42 books. Normally, it would be somewhere around $340 to get them all.

EDIT:

Dragonball 1-16 (Complete) for $25+S&H:

Most of DBZ (23 of 26) for $40 + S&H:

You can also find used manga volumes in great condition individually for as low as $1 on Amazon.

That's the retail price for the books when they're new, used book stores sell them pretty cheap when they have them. And a lot of times stores like Walden Books and Barnes & Noble have sales for stuff like manga, plus coupons for Walden Books are pretty easy to get.

Chibi, if you're looking for one or two pages to be scanned, people here will usually help out with that. But being you're asking for "legitimate Viz English translate manga" that is a problem. The rules are pretty strict about bootlegging. I would link you to the rules page but, the site is down right now.

...And maybe I'am just nit picking but, shouldn't this be in the questions section?

You're making SO many topics. I think every new guy does that.

Sorry, its just that I'm from Japan, not US, so I like to be open on Manga, and here the opinions of other people. But I'll stop for a while heh.
