We are shocked by the death of Akira Toriyama. Through a statement, his close circle reported that the creator of dragon ball He died on March 1 and they had kept it secret so that his funeral and final goodbye would be as private a ceremony as possible.
That is why since FayerWayer We honor the Japanese mangaka by mentioning a conglomerate of successful mangas created by the sensei, apart from Dragon Ball.
We all know that the artist's presence extended far beyond Dragon Ball. Video games, movies and countless characters have Toriyama's signature. Maybe you even read some of his stories and didn't know it, since his fame is strictly related to the adventures of the Z Fighters and the search for the Dragon Balls.

Perhaps the most successful, apart from Dragon Ball, is Dr. Slump, which came out between 1980 and 1984. It is a comedy manga that tells the adventures of Arale Norimaki, an android girl created by Dr. Senbei Norimaki. It is said that this little android is more powerful than Goku and she even made a crossover with Dragon Ball Super.
Cowa!, like Dr. Slump, Cowa! leans towards humor. The story focuses on crazy situations and eccentric characters. The world of this manga is inhabited by humans and monsters, but unlike Dragon Ball, here they avoid contact with each other. It had issues between 1997 and 1998.
My aunt brought me a volume of Dragon Ball every Sunday so I could draw on it when I was little, I think she even sent them to me on the beach. Years later, Akira Toriyama made Cowa, a manga about a little vampire who was not so famous ❤️ pic.twitter.com/oMsqTmn3pS
