New Dragon Ball media releases have gotten a bit confusing. The Dragon Ball Super anime has ended, but the manga is continuing onward. A new movie, Dragon Ball Super Hero, is on its way, and there are various games, but the franchise’s future is nebulous. Those who have heard about the Dragon Ball Super Kakumei manga may be wondering if it’s an official release or if it’s fanmade. We’ll discuss this new manga below.
Is Dragon Ball Kakumei an official manga release?
Dragon Ball Kakumei is not an official manga from Akira Toriyama. It’s not published by Shueisha or Viz Media and doesn’t run in V Jump. Instead, it’s a doujinshi, a non-canon story produced by a team of fans.
The story in Dragon Ball Kakumei picks up right after the Tournament of Power and deals with the consequences of Android 17 restoring the erased universes. In addition to the six universes destroyed by Zeno, the wish brought back Universe 19, which has warriors that are powerful enough to take down Zeno and the angels.
Unfortunately, this doujinshi was canceled after the third chapter a few years back. However, it seems like it has been revitalized and might be in production once again.
Dragon Ball Super Kakumei is worth checking out for fans of the series. The artwork is well done, and the plot proceeds in a logical manner from where the Tournament of Power ended. From what we’ve seen, there aren’t any erotic elements either, so it’s one of the rare doujinshi that don’t concentrate on shipping.
However, it’s hard to find the second and third chapters of Kakumei since they were taken down after the original cancelation. The first chapter has just been uploaded again and can be found on the team’s Facebook page.
Those who aren’t huge fans of where Dragon Ball Super is heading should definitely give Kakumei a read. We’ll keep our fingers crossed, hoping it doesn’t get canceled again.
