About the author
Akira Toriyama
1,918 books1,819 followersAkira 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.

Questions that Demand Answers is the first humorous section of this volume. Senbei goes shopping and things he finds a coffee shop that has waitresses wearing no clothes on the bottom part of their body. He ends up disappointed.
Tranpire, the female vampire from much earlier, makes an appearance. Midori comes home and catches Senbei and the vampire in a compromising position and she gets an immediate divorce, leaves, and Dr. Slump dies from getting hit in the head by a coconut.
Even reading that summary is confusing.
The vampire and her helper plan to take Senbei to Lord Enma, the judger of souls. Senbei ends up being brought back to life, though.
Next story has Senbei changed into a fly. Gatchan eats the morph gun, leaving Senbei a fly. Turbo will make a new gun, but in the meantime Arale goes to school as a fly.
The next story is the tale of a robot who wants Senbei to make for him a baby robot.
The 'author' goes into the future of Penguin Village, ten years in the future. The future ain't what it used to be.
It's Christmas and Senbei and the others have a talent show. Poop spinning and pulling down women's pants are just two of the wonderful events. Dr. Mashirito is still planning world domination but wants to start by blowing up Senbei.
The next story is about a contest for who is the strongest person in the world.
