This volume kicks off Akira Toriyama's classic shonen saga, introducing the young, tailed martial artist Son Goku and his first meeting with the clever Bulma. Together, they search for the legendary Dragon Balls, encountering a colorful cast including the shapeshifting Oolong and Pu'ar, the desert bandit Yamcha, and the wise Kame-Sen'nin. It collects the earliest chapters of the original manga, setting the stage for Goku's journey from a naive boy to a world-class fighter.
