While this is perfectly serviceable， it's really mostly for the Toriyama fans out there。 At over 600 pages， the three-volume omnibus of Toriyama's short work （ranging from 1978-1994） begins to feel repetitive fairly quickly。 All of the heroes are plucky in the exact same way， the humor stays firmly in the potty or fourth wall breaking zones， and the sexism is impressive， with girls' intelligence directly corresponding to how much clothing they wear。 （Our smartest heroine has on a long skirt; the While this is perfectly serviceable， it's really mostly for the Toriyama fans out there。 At over 600 pages， the three-volume omnibus of Toriyama's short work （ranging from 1978-1994） begins to feel repetitive fairly quickly。 All of the heroes are plucky in the exact same way， the humor stays firmly in the potty or fourth wall breaking zones， and the sexism is impressive， with girls' intelligence directly corresponding to how much clothing they wear。 （Our smartest heroine has on a long skirt; the dumbest is constantly shown from upskirt angles。） No， the male demographic and time period these were written in isn't an excuse。It is interesting as a survey of how Toriyama's art has evolved; he didn't really achieve his signature style until 1988。 It's also neat to see the Dragonball prototype in 1983's "Dragon Boy" and the fact that Clamp's Chobits was likely inspired by Toriyama's "Chobit，" which features a heroine who's a dead ringer for Sumomo。 But this is really for the Toriyama fans， as I said。 Otherwise it starts to feel like a slog about a hundred pages in。 。。。more
