The information I present in this article come from two sources: Toriyama's World website and an interview with Akira Toriyama about Dragon Ball where he mentions Dragon Boy as a "trial run" manga for the later series. Toriyama's World lists only two chapters completed, but the manga does not "end" and there may have been more chapters-- but I don't think so as it would have been at least listed in his one-shot compilation. So, I present that this information is close to correct but may have gaps and that if anyone knows better to please update it accordingly. JRP 16:43, 17 Jul 2004 (UTC)

For all intents and purposes Dragon Boy was finished. Most of the manga published in Fresh Jump are often yomikiri or one-shot mangas that serve to test the idea for a possible serialization. If a pilot is successful, it may be picked up for serialization in the Weekly Shonen Jump. If not, the author can simply end the story with another one-shot or two. Sometimes, the serialized version are drastically different from the pilots and don't follow the same continuity. Jonny2x4 03:57, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
