Dragon Ball

by Akira Toriyama

Dragon Ball follows Goku from a monkey-tailed boy searching for magic wish-granting orbs to a cosmic warrior defending the universe against gods. Akira Toriyama's creation defined shonen manga: the training arcs, the transformations, the power-ups, and the idea that there's always someone stronger over the next hill.
