I was very surprised to find that Akira Toriyama did this series after Dragon Ball ended. I'm not saying it's bad, but it's something I would have expected earlier in his career. What we have here is a monster village living with humans. The monsters get sick and they have to team up with a human, who's referred to as a murderer every other page it seems like, to road trip across the country in search of medicine.
I really didn't like this.
What's a shame is that I could totally see myself liking this because Toriyama created a better version of this story early in
...
his Dragon Ball run where the main characters were kids and the world was crazy fun. Here, it's just fart jokes and kid rivalries that get on your nerves. I didn't find the art to be interesting, the characters were obnoxious, the jokes weren't even that funny. I understand it's aimed at a younger demographic, but so was early Dragon Ball. What really got me though was that after a few chapters you could tell that Toriyama abandoned the whole slice of life aspect of the story and went full in on the fighting, which felt so... meh. Again, it was fine, but it wasn't needed.
I didn't expect much out of this and it disappointed me even then. It's not terrible, but I'd hardly recommend it to someone older than 8.
