Dragon Ball, Vol. 1: The Monkey King by Akira Toriyama
4.0
I remember watching dragonball as a kid and wanted to read the manga this year. A quick synopsis would be to compare it to "The Journey to the West." The main character of dragonball shares the same name from the work that inspired it. The plot is very similar but does step away and does it own thing.
The humor is align to middle achol/early high school nut it seems to be natural. Even though the humor can be juvenile the way Goku was raised makes sense why he's awkward and different from the other characters.
The first volume introduces the main plot of finding the dragon balls to make a wish. If someone collects all 7 dragon balls, the gatherer can have any one wish fulfilled. It was a nice introduction and can't wait to see where it goes.
