If, when you look at the manga, you can see city buildings and roads, maybe even what looks like an airport, it's not a continent. When it comes to DB, the manga - as created, written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama - trumps all else. The more fingerprints he has on something, the more canon it is - unless, like the BoG and RoF movies, he allowed them to be retconned so their story could be retold in the anime, although the RoF movie is still canon to the DBS manga. So in terms of DB canon, what Toriyama creates is canon. The writer/illustrator (called a mangaka) is the total creator and owner and they publish their work through a 3rd party after the 3rd party has agreed an edit with the mangaka. When a creator working for DC or Marvel creates a new character, its the studio that owns that character, not the creator, therefore any writer or illustrator working for the studio can create a new story for those characters and it will be considered canon. Or does that only count for DC and Marvel? Or any other fiction except DB?.Ĭomparing DB to DC or Marvel is a fools errand.

With all that history to pull from, it’s no wonder the world of manga is such a varied literary landscape. While the Western literary canon was largely confined to prose-centric novels until the rise of comics in the 1930s, Japanese storytellers have been embracing the power of combining pictures and words for centuries. Many Western readers understand the term “manga” to simply mean “Japanese comic books” - but in fact, manga has an incredibly rich history that stretches all the way back to the 12th century.
