I read this last year but I guess I never reviewed it. Thing is I read all of Dragon Ball in Korean when I was 10. More like looked at all the pictures and guessed what they were saying. Dragon Ball has a ton of humor though and I missed that. it wasn't until I was older I got to read Dragon Ball in english. Now that it's here what do I think? Well shit man, this is fun stuff.

What I liked: All three stories connect. Especially the first two arcs (volumes) is all about fun goofy adventures with Goku and crew. I really love the crude toilet type humor. It works so well. Also Goku being so innocent makes him the best burn master of all time. I also loved the simple art that still is memorable to this day. However, the final part is actually my favorite. When Goku meets Krillian and they have to work together training with their new Master Roshi. It's both entertaining and a bit more serious tone. After training they start the first tournament. Yes, it's filled with a guy who uses his pubic hairs/smell to beat people. It's insane and fun and honestly makes me love this series even more.

What I didn't like: The unsure tone of what it wanted to be. It's at the end of this volume you seem to have a clear set mind of what this series will evolve to. Till then it seems a bit fuzzy and sometimes makes it a slog to read.

Dragon Ball is both fun and exciting. It's what most Manga artist/writers wanted to create back in the day. Iconic characters, fun stories, and just having amazing amounts of FUN with it. Think I'll go back and read the rest of my series very soon =)
