Jaco the Galactic Patrolman: Volume 1

I'm about 63% through this book, so far it's perfect. I can't put it down. I have it on my iPad through the kindle app and it's really good. Don't expect this to tie in to dragon ball, because so far it didn't. That said, I love jaco and it's going to be awesome to see him cross over into dragon ball. Think of this as a separate story, in the same universe, it's set just before the events of dragon ball. Awesome!EDIT: I have now finished this book 100% and the last chapter ties into dragon ball. You will meet a young bulma and her family, you will also see baby goku. SPOILER: jaco is sent to earth to kill goku, as goku was sent to earth to destroy the earth.All in all this book is a must read. I LOVED it.Now let's talk about the dragon ball minus spin off at the end. I wouldn't read this if I were you, it contradicts with dragon ball, as stated in dragon ball z, goku was sent to earth to destroy it, as all Saipan babies are, yet in minus bardock sends goku to earth for his safety. WHAT. BARDOCK IS ALSO PATREAYED AS A GOOD GUY? WHAAAT. it's a horrid mini part and it does not tie into the dragon ball series, but this review is for the jaco manga, and it's a must buy. 5 stars. There were a few issues I had like bulma being insanely smart at 5 years old, yet in dragon ball, she was never that smart. And a few small things, but for the most part, it's an amazing manga, and I cannot wait to see jaco in dragon ball super. BUY THIS MANGA..

Lovely charming story from akira toriyama. Essential reading for fans of Dragon ball. I recommend avoiding spoilers and jumping right in.

This manga is a really fun read and has that dragonball quirky charm. It's sort of a prequel to the dragonball series but perfectly fine as a stand alone manga as well. The characters are charming and funny. The humour is right there as well.Each panel is laid out with thought and it flows from one to the other seamlessly. If you like dragonball or just want an introduction into Akira Toriyama's style this is a great book and well worth and read.

I was so completely surprised by this manga, it was both intriguing and hilarious! If it wasn't tied to Dragonball it would still hold up as a fantastic read for Dragonball fans or no. The fact it is tied to Dragonball just makes it better. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to read a fun manga!

This volume is what the dragonball needed a closure of how it all started and who was the legendary warriors parents. Its a must for all mange and anime fans. You enjoy reading it with humor and laughter but also tears of joy and sadness. Well done Akira Toriyama.You did it again.

I enjoyed this book very much, it’s rather good.

I used it to wipe my ass

This has to be one of the best mangas I've read in a while. It mite be because I'm a massive DBZ fan but I just feel comfortable and great reading something new.

Chegou no prazo certo, bem embalado e em ótimo estado. Muito bom.

I have been looking for the back story of Goku, planet Vegeta, and Bardock for a long time, this does'nt only answer so many questions, but it also has a great story.

Excelente historia de las aventuras de Jaco, tiene una historia que se llama dragón ball minus, muy buena también

I want to preface this by saying I don't like Dragon Ball Super at all, it fails to capture what the original series did for me. I'm not sure why I decided to pick this up having said that but I'm glad I did. Toriyama knocks it out of the park with this one. The humor is on-point the entire time and I found myself laughing out loud at a few parts. The plot is simple but engaging enough to keep you reading by introducing new characters and uncovering more struggles for them to go through to help Jaco get home. If youre expecting action like you probably would from Dragon Ball you won't find it here, but that's definitely ok. Theres a very minor action scene, if you could even call it that it's that minor, in the middle of it but this story is solely focused on the humor, characters and the interactions between them. And if you still aren't sold because you like DBZ too much, they have included Goku's origin story as a bonus chapter at the end. A nice touch for the fans.Overall I very much enjoyed this spin-off from Toriyama. It's very reminiscent of the light-heartedness I adored in the original Dragon Ball series. And if youre like me where you also do not like Dragon Ball Super or don't like Jaco from that show, maybe give this a shot anyway because it might change your mind.

If Fun is what you are looking for then you'll not be disappointed at all. Based on the Dragon Ball universe, but don't sweat yourself, you can enjoy it anyway because it hasn't many ties. If you know something about Dragon Ball then it helps for some extra fun. If not, it will still make you laugh. and the best thing for a lot of people, this is a one volume deal!! No worries of having to follow it!
