In the past VIZ Media, LLC has released many versions of the Dragon Ball manga by Akira Toriyama. Including their graphic novel run from 2003 that concluded in 2006, the Viz Big run from 2008, and their recent 3-in-1 editions. Of their many version, VIZ Media, LLC have yet to release a true uncut, high quality version of this historic manga.



In 2002 Shueisha began to re-release the original 42 Dragon Ball tankôbons into 34 kanzenbans. These perfect editions versions were slightly larger in size than the tankôbons. They included the original color artwork from their Weekly Shonen Jump run. Also each volume contained restored artwork and a newly drawn cover illustration by Akira Toriyama.



We the fans have had to endure the censorships imposed on this world-wide best selling manga. These edits including, but are not limited to gun usage by characters, middle fingers, cigarettes, nudity, and lip color. We would like all content left intact, as printed in the Japanese editions.



These kanzenban re-releases should be of the highest quality and should mirror the Japanese releases. High quality paper is a must. While turning pages, there should not be any fear in the readers mind that the pages will tear.



Past incarnations have included some, but not all, color artwork. These perfect releases should include all color pages from the original Weekly Shonen Jump run. It is important that this classic series be released with color pages left in tack so we can enjoy the original artwork.



Viz Media, we the fans ask you to bring the best treatment possible to a series that has been, and still is, enjoyed by millions around the world. Please re-release Dragon Ball in a collection of 34 high quality, truly uncut kanzenban volumes. Including the slightly rewritten ending, correct covers, and color artwork from its Weekly Shōnen Jump run.
