Dragon Ball is one of the biggest franchise in the history of anime and manga. Created by Akira Toriyama in 1984, this franchise has went on to achieve some extraordinary things which are surprising even in the world of anime and manga.
After ending the series in 1995, we don’t get any further Dragon Ball content until Battle of Gods arrived in 2013, followed by Resurrection F a couple of years later. Soon enough, the Dragon Ball series was revived with Dragon Ball Super television anime, and Akira Toriyama was once again involved in a lot of stuff. The Dragon Ball Super manga was also serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump. However, instead of Akira Toriyama, it was Toyotaro who was the author this time.
That’s not to say Toriyama had no involvement with the story whatsoever. He is still responsible for the story, and is involved in the progress of both the anime, and the manga. Dragon Ball Super anime has since then ended, but we are getting a new Dragon Ball Super movie in December, which is going to be a sequel to the anime. On the other hand, the Dragon Ball Super manga is set to continue, as confirmation by several sources.
The Dragon Ball franchise is here to stay for long, and there are even rumors for a new Dragon Ball anime to begin next year, but nothing can be said right now. However, we do have a Dragon Ball Spin-off manga on the way. On Saturday, the official Twitter account of Viz Media announced that Dragon Ball was getting a spin-off manga, called “Dragon Ball: That Time I Got Reincarnated As Yamcha!”

His encounter gave him powers and led him to choose a path that seemed to be perfect—to become someone who hunts and fights the Nemesis. But Seth longs for a quest that goes beyond the simple hunt for monsters. He wants to find the place they come from, Radiant, and destroy it. Along with other wizards, he travels the world in search of Radiant, under the sinister eye of the Inquisition…
