Mangas are the comic books...tch. Akira Toriyama started his living with the Cop Dog Manga series. HE writes HIS manga's which are the Japanese version of comic books. Unless he gave someone else permission to write one for him, he wrote it. And, how many times do I have to tell you people this, go look for yourselves. Check out Japanese Manga in your search engines (that's what I did) and find Akira Toriyama's work. In one of the MANGA'S written by AKIRA TORIYAMA, it has the story of King Vegeta, and how he met this girl (name not mentioned) who could go super saiyan. He mated with her, and poof, itty-bitty baby Vegeta came to be. I think this story was only written to show that the belief of one super saiyan every 1000 years was superstition (in fact, I"m pretty positive that was why it was written). Now, back to topic.
I think that we won't have to wait long to see short-haired Videl and #18. They are in the stove, being cooked up by modellers as we speak. Yippie! I can't wait!
