It's kinda different, if you watch DBZ Kai then it's exactly like that. The DBZ Manga spans the entire show. It even has Dragonball (Goku as a Kid series, I recommend that one first, Dragonball, then DBZ.).
Here's the big difference, there is NO filler in the manga, Goku getting his driver's liscence? Gone. Garlic Jr saga?
Gone. And a bunch of other filler episodes, all gone. It's strictly NO FILLER, but it'll show you the entire series.
And yeah, it's chonologically ordered. In fact, all the books are out, (42 in all). You can buy the season Box sets if you like, Dragonball Vol 1-16 for like, 40$ at a bookstore site, or even just go to the store itself and nab it.
DBZ Vol 1-26 might be more, because there're more novels in it. It's fast-paced too. No boring peace-time.
They have a special out (manga) of the DBZ movie of Broly the Legendary Super Saiyan, in color, only a single novel, shorter than most, but looks expensive. Might be worth your time to get that too. I have all 42 novels of Dbz.
It's great to see another dbz fan! Oh yeah, I advise to buy the box sets. Individually the dbz manga spans 7.95 per novel.
Now do the math, 7.95 times 42. That's ALOT, so buy the box sets, saves you alot of money! Really it will!
If you are going to rent 'em at a library, can't garuntee they'll have all the novels. (especially if you want to go chronologically), you're better off buying them/reading them online. They have special edition Manga of DBZ out too!
3-In-One books, more expensive but they have alot more extras in it, including some chapters in COLOR. Oh yeah, some good Manga? Howabout.... Yu Yu Hakusho - If you've heard the anime, most of the voice actors of DBZ star in this one, it's really similar, fighting, tournaments, but here's the fun part, it's Spiritual!
No dragonballs, but they have a similar Diety, King Yemma! But he's more important in Yu Yu! He's lord of spirit world!
We never see him until the last epsiodes, trust me you'll love it. Naruto - HE STOLE GOKU'S COLOR, MAN! Anyways, a Ninja manga, really LONG manga, spans over 60 novels AND STILL GOING ON.
DBZ used to be the world's most popular anime, it might still be, but Naruto is catching up quick! Because it's still on the air with New episodes and new vol in manga! One Piece - Who Doesn't love Pirates, man?
Most of the cast have the same voice actors as DBZ as well! Fancy that? Alot of Comedy, laughter, but some serious moments, and TONS OF FIGHTING.
Pirate brawls, rum bottle throwing, Jack Sparrow'd love to be part of this Manga! Ruroni Kenshin - As it says. Batosai the Manslayer.
It's more Samurai based, and Historical, serious, (some comedy, who doesn't love comedy?), the fighting is more tactical, very blood-and-gore-y. If you like a good samurai then read this Manga. Yu-Gi-Oh - Now come on, man.
Who doesn't love Yu-Gi-Oh? All the nostalgia of playing with cards while Younger? Man I still have my cards!
You'll enjoy this Manga if you've seen the first season on TV! (not the crappy later episodes, but the good ol' old ones!) What else can I reccommend...? Inuyasha, who doesn't like a Half-Demon-Half-Human stimpy arrogant S.O.B and a hot girl in a japanese schoolgirl outfit with a bow? IT'S ALL THE RAGE I TELL YOU!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
