3. What's Dragon Ball Z?
What is Dragon Ball?
In its original form, Dragon Ball is a manga (Japanese comic) written and drawn by Akira Toriyama from 1984 to 1995. Published by Shueisha, one of the three major Japanese publishers, it was the most popular series of Weekly Shônen Jump, a comic anthology of more than 400 pages that includes about 20 continuous series by different artists.
Dragon Ball is basically a martial arts story with elements of fantasy, science fiction and comedy. The hero, Goku, is a child with a monkey's tail (or not, in the real action version) who is raised in the forest by a martial artist. Bulma, a girl in search of the seven magic Dragon Balls (a treasure that can grant any wish), accidentally discovers the innocent Goku and introduces him to civilization. Through many adventures, Goku travels around the world, develops his already prodigious fighting skills and often saves the world from the wicked.
