Toriyama Short Stories

Akira Toriyama's early, wild imagination gets the spotlight in this German-published collection from Carlsen Comics. Spanning eight issues from 2014 to 2017, it gathers the legendary creator's short, standalone manga—offering a glimpse of the inventive humor and dynamic art that would later define his most famous works. For fans of Dragon Ball or Dr. Slump, it's a treasure trove of lesser-known, playful stories that showcase Toriyama's range beyond his blockbuster epics.
