Dragon Ball Super Manga Launches Next Month

Dragon Ball Super Manga Launches Next Month

Starting in July, Dragon Ball is back in the form of Dragon Ball Super! The exciting announcement was made last month by the Japanese animation studio behind the franchise, Toei Animation, who mentioned Dragon Ball Super would be an anime that will take place in the aftermath of Goku’s fierce battle with Majin Buu.

The July issue of Shueisha’s V-Jump magazine, which officially releases on Thursday, May 21 in Japan, is revealing Dragon Ball Super will also have a manga adaptation. The original story will be by Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama and the manga adaptation will be by Toyotaro, the person behind the official Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection ‘F’ movie manga and fan-made Dragon Ball AF.

The Dragon Ball Super manga launches in Japan next month and it’s expected to be officially published around June 20-21, so expect Dragon Ball Super spoilers to begin a few weeks before the anime’s release. Speaking of the anime’s release, it will begin to air on Japanese television in July on Sundays at 9:00 AM (which are Saturday nights in America). No specific date was mentioned, so we at Saiyan Island are assuming it will be the first Sunday, July 5th. Of course if it differs, we hope to let you know!

FUNimation, the company behind Dragon Ball in North America, has not yet announced any information about an English version of the anime, dubbed or subtitled. If things go as we hope them to, there should be an official version of Dragon Ball Super episodes on the web as soon as they air in Japan.

The story of Dragon Ball Super is still a mystery, but the announcement for the series does note it will “no doubt exceed everyone’s expectations.”
