Dragon Ball, Vol. 3 by Akira Toriyama
4.0
After a disappointment with [b:Dragon Ball, Vol. 2: Wish Upon a Dragon|1267078|Dragon Ball, Vol. 2 Wish Upon a Dragon (Dragon Ball, #2)|Akira Toriyama|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1442541887s/1267078.jpg|1255972], I'm not entirely sure why I carried on rereading the three volumes I have of this. I wanted to revisit it, first of all, because I do remember enjoying this volume in particular, and secondly, I really needed to get more books into my reading challenge this year.
Thankfully, I remembered correctly, and I really did enjoy this volume again the second time around. With more humour that isn't just left to crude sexual jokes that really aren't that funny in this age, and with some more beautiful artwork, the start of the new story line was spectacular. I loved watching Goku begin his training, his vague, naive sense of the world come to play, a new player joining the team and really trying as best he could. There was a lot more in this than previous volumes and it's a much better continuation than the second volume was. Much more enjoyable.
As always, the artwork is something that is a reliable in this series - Toriyama's artwork is something to be appreciated, and I would happily go to a museum dedicated to his art. He has style and skill with a pen, and it's shown throughout this issue. I really enjoyed rereading this particular volume, and it's made me remember how much I wanted to read all 42 issues.
