"'''Dragon Ball'''" is a Japanese manga series created by famed manga artist [[Akira Toriyama]] ([[Bird Studio]]). The series was originally a gag manga (comic) that evolved into an martial arts action manga, becoming the standard to which all future shōnen manga would be compared. It began its run on '''20 November 1984''' in ''Weekly Shōnen Jump'', a popular manga anthology magazine in Japan. Each week a new chapter would be published with approximately 14 pages per chapter. When it was all said and done, the series had come to a total of 520 chapters, including one side-story, which was an amazing feat at the time. These chapters were all collected in 42 ''tankōbon'' ("separate") volumes, which were released as ''Dragon Ball'' was being published in ''Weekly Shōnen Jump'', and later in 34 ''kanzenban'' ("Perfect Edition") volumes, which started to be released in late 2002.
