Akira Toriyama Has Passed Away

RIP. I don’t really watch Dragon Ball, but my kids did/do. It’s blowing up all over reddit, so it must be a big deal.

I had no idea what Dragon Ball was until I started a part time gig a few years ago selling library books to schools. What an eye opener! Always tough to get. Fortunately, for me anyway, most were only available in paperback, not hard binding. Made for some nice re-orders.

Yeah in the world of manga/anime this is a big deal. A titan of the medium, I think this would be the equivalent of a Stan Lee/ Walt Disney combo dying.

a very large portion of my generation was introduced to Anime/Manga by Dragonball Z on cartoon network
