Shueisha has announced two collected volumes of different Dragon Ball manga series for release in Japan on 04 December 2023:
Dragon Ball Super — Volume 22
The twenty-second collected volume of the Dragon Ball Super manga series by Toyotarō will release 04 December 2023 in Japan for ¥528 + tax. Spanning 192 pages, the upcoming volume should pick up with chapter 93, and (in line with prior volumes covering four chapters total) likely span through chapter 96.
The Dragon Ball Super “comicalization” began in June 2015, initially just ahead of the television series, and running both ahead and behind the series at various points. The manga runs in Shueisha’s V-Jump magazine, with the series’ 98th chapter coming last week in the magazine’s December 2023 issue. Illustrated by “Toyotarō” (in all likelihood, a second pen-name used by Dragon Ball AF fan manga author and illustrator “Toyble”), the Dragon Ball Super manga covered the Battle of Gods re-telling, skipped the Resurrection ‘F’ re-telling, and “charged ahead” to the Champa arc, “speeding up the excitement of the TV anime even more”. Though the television series has completed its run, the manga continues onward, moving into its own original “Galactic Patrol Prisoner”, “Granolla the Survivor”, and now “Super Hero” arcs. Viz is currently releasing free digital chapters of the series, and began their own collected print edition back in 2017; the company’s nineteenth collected volume was released last month.
Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultra God Mission!!!! — Volume 3
The third collected volume of the Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultra God Mission!!!! manga series by Yoshitaka Nagayama will also release 04 December 2023 in Japan for ¥572 + tax. Spanning 176 pages, the upcoming third volume should pick up with chapter 11, and (in line with prior Nagayama volumes) likely span through chapter 15.
Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Ultra God Mission!!!! is a promotional manga series written and illustrated by Yoshitaka Nagayama, having just completed its run in Shueisha’s monthly Saikyō Jump magazine. The series adapts events from storylines original to the Super Dragon Ball Heroes arcade game. Ultra God Mission!!!! succeeded Nagayama’s own prior Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Dark Demon Realm Mission!, Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Universe Mission!!, and Super Dragon Ball Heroes: Big Bang Mission!!! series in the same magazine. Thus far, Ultra God Mission!!!! is the longest-running of Nagayama’s batch by a wide margin, clocking in at 20 chapters.
The various Dragon Ball Heroes manga series remain without an official English translation and release.
