Dragon Ball
Dragon Ball follows Goku's adventures from childhood as he trains in martial arts and searches for the mystical Dragon Balls. This manga series blends action, humor, and fantasy, chronicling Goku's growth into Earth's greatest defender against increasingly powerful threats.
The original manga series begins with "Dragon Ball" and continues directly into "Dragon Ball Z." "Dragon Ball Super" is a sequel that takes place after the events of "Dragon Ball Z."
The Dragon Ball manga has been adapted into several highly popular anime television series, including "Dragon Ball," "Dragon Ball Z," and "Dragon Ball Super," which largely follow the manga's storyline.
While primarily a standalone universe, early chapters of Dragon Ball feature a crossover with Akira Toriyama's previous work, Dr. Slump, with characters from that series making cameo appearances.
