GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - s4story -- Dragon Ball Culture Volume 7 Book Reveals Why Hit Anime is So Popular

The world's first cultural tour guide to the #1 anime, manga, and video game series, Dragon Ball, has been published.

GRAND RAPIDS, Michigan., September 26, 2023 – Why is Dragon Ball the world's most-recognized Japanese cartoon and comic? Dragon Ball Scholar Derek Padula says it's the culture, and he proves it in Dragon Ball Culture Volume 7, the conclusion to his seminal non-fiction book series.

Author of the best-selling Dragon Ball Z "It's Over 9,000!" When Worldviews Collide, available in English, Spanish, Italian, and French, Padula's Dragon Ball Culture series explores the Japanese, Chinese, and Western cultural influences that comic book author Akira Toriyama fused into his work, and argues that it's this culture that makes Dragon Ball so successful across the world.
