I've watched Dragonball Z but never read it, so this was an exciting beginning!

I picked this up at the library on a whim. Man am I glad I did. How much fun was that? I've never even watched the show. I'm not even positive it is a show. I'm pretty sure it's a show though. Kidding, I know it's a show. And I watched some random episodes back in the day.

But who knew the Manga could be so fun?

It's been a long time since I read any manga types. I should really get back into it. I read a ton of modern comics. Superhero stuff. And rarely entertains me the way this did. So good. Should I go five stars? Let's say four and a half. For the purposes of goodreads, of course we have to round it up.

Great starting and ending to kick off the more mature series of DBZ.

So excited to finally get into the Saiyan saga!! I can't imagine how it must have felt to read this as it was coming out. This is such a fantastic return to the story after a 5-year time skip; I love that it just gets straight into the action. I've always loved the beginning of DBZ (the anime) but after coming straight off the tail end of reading the DB manga, the team-up between Goku and Piccolo feels so much more hype. Also baby Gohan is just so dang cute lol.

I'd also be remiss not to say: Raditz
