Review: quick pacing, good quality - interesting, diverges from the anime. battle of gods arc goes by much faster and honestly some of the charm of beerus is lost. resurrection F is only mentioned in passing and is basically skipped. I’m alright with both of these factors because I imagine toyotaro would rather you just watch the films in their full glory and then continue on to the rest of the story which is well paced and comfortable (the Universe 6 arc) this manga is not bad at all and idk who could be toriyama’s successor if not toyotaro. champa and vados are introduced to the reader much sooner which is good, especially to help flow from battle of gods into U6 Tournament. I suppose my review sort of stands for the whole Super manga as a whole, but I would recommend buying it. (Unless you already have Super on DVD, in which case honestly you’re not missing much. If you don’t have the anime, though, definitely get the manga and watch the show for free online somewhere)

quick pacing, good quality
interesting, diverges from the anime. battle of gods arc goes by much faster and honestly some of the charm of beerus is lost. resurrection F is only mentioned in passing and is basically skipped. I’m alright with both of these factors because I imagine toyotaro would rather you just watch the films in their full glory and then continue on to the rest of the story which is well paced and comfortable (the Universe 6 arc) this manga is not bad at all and idk who could be toriyama’s successor if not toyotaro. champa and vados are introduced to the reader much sooner which is good, especially to help flow from battle of gods into U6 Tournament.

Your Wish Has Been Granted
The long wait is over, Dragon Ball Super's manga is here and boy does it cover a lot of ground in a short period of time. It manages to cover Battle of God's, briefly go over the resurrection of Freeza and even start the tournament between universe 6 and 7. But despite covering that much the pacing doesn't feel super rushed. Though the manga wasn't drawn by Toriyama, Toyotaro the new artist does a great job of giving the series the classic Dragon Ball look and feel. It's also fun that manga manages to add additional details to the anime's events. In short this is a must read for fans of Dragon Ball. For those unfamiliar with the Dragon Ball series, Super might not be the best starting point as it expects you to be familiar with Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. Also a note for anime only watchers of the series you will notice that some names of characters are different, so that might take a little getting use to.

The True successor of master Toriyama it's finally here
When I bought this I truly didn't know what to expect. After checking at those unnoficial stories not "recognized " by the original Sensei Tory I thought this might be just another one. But it was not like that. It's shockingly brilliant. I have always been a fan of the art of Dragon Ball and the way Toru does it is absolutely fantastic. The plot its allToriyama style so it has all the energy and fun the franchise has always been. If you love Dragon Ball get this, if you love the fantastic Toriyama artwork get this, if you love frantic scenes of action rendered in the most clear and perfect way get this. In a nutshell if you want more of Dragon Ball and you got tired of all the low quality knock offs this is your deal. Welcome back to the fantastic world of Dragon Ball hyper reloaded or in SAYAN MODE

Last time on Dragon Ball Z...
I'd been looking forward to this since the anime started airing in 2015. It feels very fast paced and its a nice continuation from where Z ended with the defeat of Buu. (spoiler warning) First off, this 1 volume covers a lot of ground, very quickly. It assumes you've either seen the movies or watched the anime since those came first. In the Z mangas, arcs like the namek/frieza arc and the androids/cell arc would span multiple chapters and volumes. That made it feel like the story progressed naturally without it going too fast. You wanted to keep reading to see what would happen next. In this volume alone, it covers the Battle of Gods arc in about 3 chapters, and basically goes over the Resurrection F arc in literally 3-4 panels... and then goes straight to the Universe 6 arc It covers all that ground a little too fast for my taste. I get it that the anime came first, but those arcs at least spanned 13+ episodes each. That could have been recreated with great artwork across at least 2-3 volumes, but instead either rushes it or glosses over it. I'm not sure if this was Toriyama's idea or the artist didn't want to do all that work, but I'm hoping the remainder of the Universe 6 arc, the Future Trunks arc and Universe survival arc are spanned out with more care and not just glossed over so we can get great fight art Despite my complaints its still great to have a canon continuation to the end of Z. The art is great, very faithful to Toriyama's original work. There's some entertaining dialogue evocative of Toriyama's spark when he was writing Z, and overall, its still a great first volume to have on the shelf. Can't wait for the second volume to sit there next to my first on the shelf

A Super Return to DB
I finally got to read DBS! I grew up watching Z in the 90s-2000s and haven’t caught up to the Super series yet, but the beginning was a great and exciting start where we get to see Whis and Lord Beerus. Goku and Vegeta are back with even more stronger power-ups and the tournament for earth starts now! I can’t wait to pick up the next volume and watch them fight for victory.

Entrega muito rápida, material muito bem embalado e de qualidade. Quanto ao mangá sou suspeito em falar (fã de DB/DBZ há mais de 20 anos)... é mais uma obra-prima do Akira Toriyama.
