List of Dragon Ball manga volumes

Cover of the first Dragon Ball manga volume released in Japan.

Dragon Ball is a Japanese manga series, written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama. The story follows the adventures of Son Goku, a child who goes on a lifelong journey beginning with a quest for the seven mystical Dragon Balls. Along the way, he goes through many rigorous martial arts training regimens and educational programs, defeats a series of increasingly powerful martial artists, and becomes the top martial artist in the universe.

The series was published in individual chapters in the magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump. These chapters were collected by Shueisha in a series of 42 tankōbon volumes; the first released on November 10, 1985, while the last one was released on August 4, 1995. In 2002, the manga was re-released in a collection of 34 kanzenban, which included a slightly rewritten ending, new covers, and color artwork from its Weekly Shōnen Jump run. There have also been two anime adaptations, both produced by Toei Animation; the first, also named Dragon Ball, adapted the first sixteen volumes of the manga, while the second is titled Dragon Ball Z and adapted the other twenty-six volumes of the series.

The North American distributing company Viz Media has released all 42 volumes in English. Viz titled volumes seventeen through forty-two of the manga Dragon Ball Z to reduce confusion for their readers. Both began being published in March 1998 (with a re-release of the first ten volumes of both parts in 2003); the last volume of the first part was released on August 3, 2004, while the last one of the second part was released on June 6, 2006. In June 2008, Viz started re-releasing both series in a wideban format called "Viz Big Edition", which is a collection of three volumes in one. In June 2013, they began releasing new 3-in-1 volumes of the first part, using the Japanese kanzenban covers.
