Now we get to Vol. 2...

This is the second volume in the 42 set of Dragonball. Vol 2 continues where volume one left off, with Goku trying to get the magic fan. Included in here are Chapters 12 - 24. 181 pages of Dragonball Manga. In this volume, Bulma and Goku go about getting the last 2 dragon balls. Only, Gasp, they run into trouble. The bunny mafia and emperor pilaf both make their grand entrance here. This completes the emperor Pilaf story arc, and brings us into the training arc. The last chapter is, infact, the first chapter of the training arc, where goku is challenged to find a girl that will impress that lecherous old Turtle Hermit, to get him to train him. Kuririn is hinted at in the next title, so he makes his grand appearence then. Db is a series for those who like lots of off color humor coupled with some action here and there. There is some pretty objectionable stuff - ball jokes, and Turtle Hermit is at his most perverted, most of the same from Vol 1. As far as nudity goes, you get a shot of Goku's rear end, and a shot of the front, but that really doesn't count since Toriyama didn't exactly detail that particular area (Can you blame the man?). Non of Bulma atleast. As you flip through the volume, you can start to see Toriyama's art style change in some panels to the harder style of DBZ, then revert back to his bubbly, silly drawing style favored in the dragonball series. Personally, I prefer the latter, but it is interesting nontheless to see little spots of his Z-art style emerge in some of the more action oriented panels. Overall, this is a recommended read, if you liked the first volume. Personally, I've never been one for the emperor pilaf arc, I like the tournament and training arcs myself. The next book in the series is recommended also.

Dragonball Vol.2

This book is great! It's a really good Dragonball book. If you have a little kid that wants to get a Dragonball book, get him this one. Some of the other ones have things that might not be too good for little children to see ( vol.1 has some nudity.) I've read it like, 7 times aleady! You should buy it!

the funniest one yet!

i read it 15 times in one month! its a lot funnier than dbz, and it lets you know the characters personalities a LOT more. you should buy it now!!
