Introduction

The volume's introduction from author Akira Toriyama is printed on the front flap of the dust cover and accompanied by a small color illustration.

A "skeeter" came buzzing up to me, drank my "blood", and skee-daddled. It didn't even say "Thank you". I've heard that if Dracula drinks your blood, you become Dracula, but do you also become a "skeeter" if a "skeeter" drinks your blood?! "Waaah! No way! I don't wanna turn into a 'skeeter'!"

I'd rather have rice for dinner.
— Akira Toriyama

Viz includes their own English translation of Toriyama's words on the first page of their print and digital editions with the illustration printed in greyscale.
