Four collected volumes were released containing the primary 40-chapter serialization of ''The Brief Return of Dr. Slump'' (ten chapters per volume). Each volume's title (itself directly taken from a chapter title) is followed by の巻 (''no maki''), indicating that it is the "volume" in which those events take place. This appendix has been ignored in the following volume title translations.
A reprinted version was included as a bonus alongside the 1997 television series reboot's DVD box set in March 2008.

Dr. Slump (1997 Manga)
Dr. Slump (1997 Manga) Chapter 1 Original V-Jump Title Page
Running alongside and in conjunction with a corresponding television series reboot that same year, the manga series serves as a reboot of the original Dr. Slump manga series, and originally ran from the December 1997 to July 2000 issues of Shueisha's V-Jump magazine.
Though the series never received a traditional collected volume release, a reprinted version was included as a bonus alongside the 1997 television series reboot's DVD box set in March 2008.
While the Dr. Slump reboot manga is not directly named, the November 1997 issue of V-Jump contains a small splash of text in its next-issue-preview noting that a "super big new series" is set to begin that following issue:[1]
特報!! 超ビッグ新連載次号よりスタート!
Breaking news!! A super big new series will start in the next issue!
The series debuted in the following issue, running regularly until its final chapter in the July 2000 issue, incidentally the magazine's seventh anniversary issue tracking back to its monthly reboot in 1993.
Picking up only about a year after the conclusion of the sequel series The Brief Return of Dr. Slump (which also ran in Shueisha's V-Jump magazine, wrapping up after 40 chapters in the July 1996 issue), while writing duties remained and began with Toriyama-verse stalwart Takao Koyama before shifting occasionally to Yoshimi Narita, art duties shifted to equally-Toriyama-verse stalwart Tadayoshi Yamamuro — Katsuyoshi Nakatsuru, who provided the artwork for The Brief Return of Dr. Slump, was at this point a few chapters in to the Savings Warrior Cashman reboot manga also running in V-Jump.
Based on this production process, and as listed on each chapter title page and collected volume release:
Koyama and Narita received the "Script" (脚本 kyakuhon) credit.
Yamamuro received the "Drawing" or "Painting" (繪 e) credit.
Toriyama received the "Original Author" or "Original Work" (原作 gensaku) credit, indicating his role as the creator of the original Dr. Slump manga series. He additionally received the "Supervisor" or "Editorial Supervisor" (監修 kanshū) credit; as a point of comparison, Toriyama received the same credit many years later for Dragon Ball: Episode of Bardock, which was written and illustrated by Naho Ooishi.
The first chapter's title page contains a giant splash promoting the new television series also set to begin that November, as well as a special telephone card with the chapter's title page illustration that 100 winners could receive over the next five issues/chapters.
