About the author
Akira Toriyama
1,899 books1,736 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.

This was fun and enjoyable which led to things that I did not expect. Like how the sports day went at the school or how the date went. All which were hilarious.

Childish, silly, immensely entertaining, and playfully drawn.
I used to enjoy this as a teenager, and I admit I still have some fun this. Perfect bedtime reading to switch your brain off and relax. The best story in this volume is 'the horrors of dating' :D

Mr. Tsun is just as perverted as Senbei. They both wear goggles that allow a person to see through things and they go out to look at girls. One falls, spreading her legs as she does. It's all the encouragement these two need.
The biker 'gang' gets a tractor, plows up much of the town, and Arale and Gatchan plant seeds, resulting in an abundant crop of vegetables.
Senbei's grandfather is coming to visit. Senbei tells a lie about Arale's origin. His grandfather apparently lives in a very, very backwards area.
Someone from the galactic police is chasing a crook that is forced to crash near the village. He asks for help against a group of space crooks. The particular story is only so-so.
Then there's a story about time travel and an alternate explanation for the origin of the moon.
Next is a strange and not very funny story about ballet with many of the main characters as females but looking like they normally do.
In the next story Gatchan eats a lot, forms a cocoon, and some days later it opens, releaseing two gatchans. Then Senbei has a nightmare about two huge gatchans chasing him with poop on sticks. The gatchan's in this story can eat dirt.
