"Complete Illustrations" is the first of seven hardcover volumes in the Daizenshuu (大全集, "Great Complete Collection") series of guidebooks covering the Dragon Ball series.
Overview
This first daizenshuu covers a multitude of illustrations and artwork drawn by Akira Toriyama up until the end of the manga's serialization. These illustrations include chapter title pages, tankōbon cover illustrations, Weekly Shōnen Jump cover illustrations and posters, video game promotional illustrations, and even some phone card artwork. Included before the table of contents is an introduction message from Akira Toriyama and the guides title page, which features the illustration from 1986 WJ #7.
Insert Poster
The book features a foldout poster of the guides respective cover illustration drawn by Akira Toriyama. An original sketch of the final page of the manga, with a handwritten goodbye message from Toriyama, is on the backside of the poster.
Shenlong Times
As a special bonus for buying the daizenshuu, Shueisha included a small newspaper type pamphlet called the "Shenlong Times". This 8-page pamphlet contains a round-table interview with Akira Toriyama's three past editors, Kazuhiko Torishima (first editor), Yū Kondō (second editor), and Fuyuto Takeda (third editor). The center of the pamphlet contains a short comic drawn by Toriyama detailing his life following the completion of series, which he is "incredibly glad" has ended. Following the comic is an "I Love Dragon Ball" section, which features a brief interview with actor and martial artist Jackie Chan. The pamphlet ends with a "Dragon Ball News" section, showcasing new and upcoming Dragon Ball merchandise.
