Those who own DB novels 1-16 (Shonen Jump Version)

Post by disturbed001 » Sat Jun 14, 2008 1:51 pm

So I noticed that the Shonen Jump versions of the Dragon Ball manga that I own are all rated "Teen" except volumes 11 and 13. Also, Bulma's boobs are perfectly shown in the begining with Yamucha and when Kuririn pulls down her top to Kame-senin. After all the stuff thats been discussed with the new VizBig editions, I always thought that we never had an uncut version, yet mine seems to be. Anyone else own the Shonen Jump line and have these "Teen" rated volumes?

When you say you didn't think there was an uncut release, do you mean of Viz's DragonBall manga in general or just the Shonen Jump line? I have the original, non-Shonen Jump line release (the big ones with the reviewer blurbs on the back), and those are all uncut, at least when it comes to Bulma's breasts. With the Shonen Jump line, I believe they were originally released edited, but that later editions after Viz had a merger and became Viz Media were censored.

I have them. Every one of them has the teen rating, even 11 and 13. And yes, boobs a plenty.

I just meant the Shonen Jump line. I'm very curious to what the Dragon Ball and Z manga box sets are going to be like. Because as of now I only have volumes 1-16. I'm hoping (and most likely a false hope) that the sets will be the tankobon with uncut and maybe better paper quaity? One can dream right?

The newer printings of the manga were censored, so you can bet on the box sets having the censored volumes.

That's a shame. I was hoping to pick up the DBZ portion in a boxset.

I have the later printings (which are also rated Teen). No big deal, though. I have my resources. I can see uncensored DB manga whenever I want.
