The Title of the manga gives the idea that it is related to Toriyamas all time classic series and.. that couldnt be more accurate since it is very much a Dragon Ball prototype story here we get to see many of the ideas expressed and not expressed in the og manga it has a pretty similar vibe to early dragon Ball specially in aesthetic and humour. This was created in early 1980s after Toriyama had already archive significant success with his comedy gag manga dr. slump when dr slump was nearing its conclusion toriyama sought to explore new creative ideas his editor actually encouraged him to write manga with marshall arts theme since Toriyama was a massive fan of kung fu action films this endeavour led to creation of dragon boy and eventually the dragon Ball mangas. i will try to compare this to the original dragon Ball from here. Plot: the Story follows Tanton a boy who grew up in a isolated mountain far from civilization he is pretty clueless about everything wether its outside world society or women yeah he is very much a Son Goku prototype Tangton is given a task by his master goroshisama a early prototype for master roshi to return the Princess of war torn Flower kingdom to her home country since the war has ended.. Dragon Boy Arthttps://i.ur.com/QLbsDAV.jpeg Thus begins their great adventure in this ancient chinese inspired scifi mystical world. Characters: tanton is a Goku prototype that looks like a miniature bruce lee he is a monster boy who can grow dragon wings and fly with it yeah hes a dragon boy literally but he seems to not like showing his wings to other people atleast to the princess maybe cuz of his trauma that his parents abandoned him for those wings or maybe Im reading to much into it he is clueless about everything. Goroshisama the master of tanton and a father figure to him he shares parallels with both roshi and grandpa gohan since he is the one that raised and trained tan ton in the mountains he travels around in a nimbus like flying cloud he also gives the protagonist a rather useless Dragon ball how did he turn this minor gag into major plot point in his next series?. Theres also Puar well hes not actually puar a shape shiting demon who joins the gang in their adventure he may have gone to the same shapeshifting school as olong and puar yk the one we never heard about again in the series. The princess character is shown to be selfish arrogant full of herself shes basically bulma of the story her and tantons duo was quite funny she doesnt seem to mind being naked in front of tanton probably because of her arrogance she was actually very fun character..
