Toyotaro succeeded the manga of Dragon Ball Super. However, he will soon present another project at a fair – which has nothing to do with the adventures of the Saiyans.
What kind of project is it? After the death of Akira Toriyama, Toyotaro took over the reins of the manga of Dragon Ball Super. Since then, a new volume has already been released. But in addition, he is working on another original manga project.
Since it is an original work, it will be completely detached from Dragon Ball. So far, the artist worked on a spin-off of Dragon Ball, which he even finished specifically for the continuation of Dragon Ball Super.
What exactly the story is about will only be revealed when Toyotaro talks about his manga.
When will he present it? The mangaka wants to introduce his new work at this year’s Japan Expo, which takes place from July 3 to 6, 2025, in Paris. Together with Kazuhiko Torishima, an editor of Dragon Ball and Dr. Slump, he will host a panel.
Toyotaro starts new project, which fans do not like
What are fans worried about? It is already difficult enough to keep a manga alive. The schedules of major mangaka can be very tight. For example, Eiichiro Oda, the author of One Piece, barely ate and slept.
Toriyama also had to look for ways to save time in every corner. This is how the hair color of the Super Saiyan originated, because he no longer had to fill in the blonde hair.
On Kazenshuu, some users like WittyUsername are concerned in the comments that it might all be over for Dragon Ball now. Although some are happy for him that he can finally do his own project, others like Vegeta th3 4th say that such a workload could land him in the hospital.
Are the worries justified? Until the reveal of the manga, we can only speculate on how it will continue with Dragon Ball Super. However, it is already clear that Toyotaro will continue the manga of Dragon Ball Super – at least that has been communicated so far.
Therefore, it could be that the new manga project is only a one-shot. Afterwards, he would return to Dragon Ball Super.
This could be one of several reasons for the long break that has occurred with Dragon Ball Super so far. In addition to mourning Toriyama and some logistical issues, a legal dispute could also be responsible: A dispute behind the scenes could be responsible for the long pause of Dragon Ball Super.
