I've still never been to a real desert ''(laughs)''. If I saw the real thing, it'd probably look a lot different, the scale and everything.\|Akira Toriyama}}
	In the "Special Project: 'Tera-P'" interview within the December 2013 issue of Shueisha's ''[[V-Jump]]'' magazine, Toriyama noted that the then-new ''[[Jaco the Galactic Patrolman]]'' was one of his own works that he loved alongside ''[[COWA!]]'' and ''Sand Land''.<ref>{{Cite magazine\|Mag=VJ\|Year=2013\|Month=December\|Date=21 October 2013\|Title="V-Jump December Issue Special Project: “Tera-P”"\|Page=pp. 453-457}}<br>[https://www.kanzenshuu.com/translations/v-jump-december-2013-akira-toriyama/ Kanzenshuu Translations Archive: V-Jump December Issue Special Project: “Tera-P”]</ref>		In the "Special Project: 'Tera-P'" interview within the December 2013 issue of Shueisha's ''[[V-Jump]]'' magazine, Toriyama noted that the then-new ''[[Jaco the Galactic Patrolman]]'' was one of his own works that he loved alongside ''[[COWA!]]'' and ''Sand Land''.<ref>{{Cite magazine\|Mag=VJ\|Year=2013\|Month=December\|Date=21 October 2013\|Title="V-Jump December Issue Special Project: “Tera-P”"\|Page=pp. 453-457}}<br>[https://www.kanzenshuu.com/translations/v-jump-december-2013-akira-toriyama/ Kanzenshuu Translations Archive: V-Jump December Issue Special Project: “Tera-P”]</ref>

'''''Sand Land''''' is a multimedia franchise dating back [[Sand Land (Manga)|a fourteen-chapter manga series]] by [[Akira Toriyama]], debuting in the 2000 No. 23 issue of ''[[Weekly Shōnen Jump]]'', originally released '''09 May 2000''' in Japan. The series ran through to the No. 36/37 double-issue that same year, and a collected volume was released that November.

A ''Sand Land'' theatrical film debuted '''18 August 2023''' in Japan<ref>{{Cite web|URL=https://natalie.mu/comic/news/517504|Website=Natalie|Title="「SAND LAND」映画化決定、8月18日劇場公開！クオリティに鳥山明「夢のようです」"|Date=22 March 2023|AccessDate=31 March 2026}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|URL=https://www.kanzenshuu.com/2023/06/29/japanese-sand-land-theatrical-attendee-bonus-items/|Website=Kanzenshuu|Title="Japanese “Sand Land” Theatrical Attendee Bonus Items Include Akira Toriyama Illustration Art Board and “Super Dragon Ball Heroes” Card"|Date=29 June 2023|AccessDate=31 March 2026}}</ref> with animation produced by Sunrise, Kamikaze Douga, and Anima. Its home video release in Japan was released '''29 May 2024'''.

Meanwhile, the movie was expanded upon and received its own in-universe continuation by way of ''Sand Land: The Series'', which began streaming worldwide '''20 March 2024'''<ref>{{Cite web|URL=https://natalie.mu/comic/news/565419|Website=Natalie|Title="「SAND LAND: THE SERIES」羽のない天使ムニエルと謎の少女アンが登場する予告編"|Date=18 March 2024|AccessDate=31 March 2026}}</ref>. Spanning 13 total episodes, the expanded series covers the events of the film (itself covering and expanding upon the events of the original 14-chapter manga series) over the course of the first six episodes in the "Demon Prince arc," and then moves on to all-new content developed in conjunction with original author Akira Toriyama in the "Angelic Hero arc" for the remainder of the series.<ref>{{Cite web|URL=https://www.kanzenshuu.com/2024/03/21/sand-land-animated-series-debuts/|Website=Kanzenshuu|Title="“Sand Land” Animated Series Debuts on Streaming Services Worldwide"|Date=21 March 2024|AccessDate=31 March 2026}}</ref>

In America, ''Sand Land'' was serialized in English in [[Shonen Jump (Viz Monthly Print Magazine)|Viz's monthly ''Shonen Jump'' print magazine]] beginning in the magazine's debut January 2003 issue and running through to completion in the November 2003 issue later that same year, followed by a collected print edition that December.

==History==

[[File:wj-2000-no-23-sand-land-debut-issue-photo.png|thumb|200px|Cover to the 2000 No. 23 issue of ''Weekly Shōnen Jump'' containing the debut chapter of Akira Toriyama's ''Sand Land'' manga]]
Following ''[[Dragon Ball]]'''s completion, Akira Toriyama produced various one-shots and short works for [[Shueisha]] including ''[[Alien Peke]]'' and ''[[Tokimecha]]'' in 1996, and ''[[Bubul of the Demon Village]]'' in 1997. Series with longer runs — serializations that would ultimately comprise a single ''tankōbon'' — were also produced, including ''[[COWA!]]'' in 1997, ''[[Kajika]]'' in 1998, and ''Sand Land'' in 2000.

''Sand Land'' was originally serialized within the pages of ''[[Weekly Shōnen Jump]]'' in Japan from the 2000 No. 23 to No. 36/37 issues spanning 14 chapters. The series was compiled into a single ''tankōbon'' that November. A new ''kanzenban'' edition was released in Japan in August 2023; that same month, a colorized version of the manga began in Shueisha's ''[[Saikyō Jump]]'' magazine in its September 2023 issue which ran straight through to completion in the October 2024 issue.

''Sand Land'' was Toriyama's third take on a story revolving around a drought, dating all the way back to 1978's ''[[Mysterious Rain Jack]]'' and then again in 1982's ''[[Pink: The Rain Jack Story]]'', a fact he alluded to in his 2023 ''kanzenban'' interview.<ref>''Ask Akira Toriyama: "Sand Land" Production Secrets''. ''Sand Land'' Kanzenban. Japan: Shueisha, 04 August 2023. ISBN 978-4-08-792607-1.
