Dragon Ball

When teenage Bulma goes hunting for the seven mystical Dragon Balls that summon a wish-granting dragon, she stumbles on Goku: a naive, absurdly strong boy raised alone in the mountains, with a monkey's tail and a bottomless love of fighting. Their search launches a globe-spanning adventure of martial-arts tournaments, wish-hunting villains, and escalating battles that carry Goku from childhood into legend. As enemies grow from bandits to warlords to world-ending threats, Goku trains relentlessly to become the strongest — and to protect the friends and planet he loves. Funny, fast, and endlessly imaginative, Akira Toriyama's genre-defining classic is the blueprint that shaped modern action manga and anime the world over.
