About the author

Akira Toriyama (鳥山明) was a Japanese manga artist and character designer. He first achieved mainstream recognition for creating the popular manga series Dr. Slump, before going on to create Dragon Ball (his most famous work) and acting as a character designer for several popular video games such as the Dragon Quest series, Chrono Trigger, and Blue Dragon. Toriyama came to be regarded as one of the most important authors in the history of manga with his works highly influential and popular, particularly Dragon Ball, which many manga artists cite as a source of inspiration.
He earned the 1981 Shogakukan Manga Award for best shōnen/shōjo manga with Dr. Slump, and it went on to sell over 35 million copies in Japan. It was adapted into a successful anime series, with a second anime created in 1997, 13 years after the manga ended.
His next series, Dragon Ball, would become one of the most popular and successful manga in the world. Having sold 260 million copies worldwide, it is one of the best-selling manga series of all time and is considered a key work in increasing manga circulation to its peak in the mid-1980s and mid-1990s. Overseas, Dragon Ball's anime adaptations have been more successful than the manga and are credited with boosting anime's popularity in the Western world. In 2019, Toriyama was decorated a Chevalier of the French Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for his contributions to the arts.
In October 2024, Toriyama was inducted into the Harvey Awards Hall of Fame.

Por fin ha aparecido mi personaje favorito.
Un tomo muuucho mejor que los anteriores porque todo es fresco. Tengo muchas ganas de seguir leyendo por todo lo que viene.

Un tome excellent avec un arrivée bien trop classe du personnage de Trunks, cette fois Toriyama instaure un paradoxe temporel, classique mais pourtant ça fonctionne bien !
Je trouve que l'auteur est toujours aussi bon pour installer les arcs et il prend le temps de montrer les préparatifs avant les combats ce qui crée de la tension et de l'attente pour le lecteur, c'est avec hâte que je me lance dans l'arc des cyborgs !

Un giovane misterioso arriva dal futuro per avvertire Goku di una nuova incombente minaccia, destinata ad annientare tutti quanti. Dopo un altro time-skip, volto come sempre a rendere più potenti i vari personaggi, inizia la saga dei Cyborg! Freezer rimane insuperabile, ma questa saga mi ha sempre preso tantissimo e a livello puramente soggettivo è quella che mi è piaciuta più di tutte.
