Manga/Tankōbon/Volume 05

==Question #1==
Naoki Koyama (Okayama Prefecture):
At my house we have volumes 1-24 of the Kinnikuman ("Muscleman") manga and one Kinnikuman video.
Akira Toriyama:
Umm... I'm sorry, Naoki. Kinnikuman is drawn by a person named Yudetamago... If you'd like, please take a look at Dragon Ball. Ha ha... ha...
==Question #2==
Eiji Harada (Okayama Prefecture):
Hello. I really like Dragon Ball. I really like you too. I have a question for you. Dr. Slump lasted 18 volumes. How long will Dragon Ball continue for?
Akira Toriyama:
Hmm... maybe for ten volumes or so. I think I'd like to make it short and sweet. But then again, there are lots of things I want to include in the story so I don't really know.
==Question #3==
Tsukyoshi Maezawa (Hokkaido Prefecture):
This is the first time time I've written to a manga artist. Do you think that the technique I thought up is good for Dragon Ball?
Akira Toriyama:
Wow! This technique is most certainly impressive. I may be able to use it in the manga. Thank you for your assistance!
==Question #4==
Takeya Nakamura (Okinawa Prefecture):
I always look at your manga and use them as a reference to draw my own manga. I really respect you. I have all of your manga including Dr. Slump, Dragon Ball, "Hetappi Manga Kenkyujo" (Lousy Manga Laboratory), "Toriyama Akira Maru-saku Gekijo" (Akira Toriyama's Fill-In-The-Blank Theatre). I keep them to use as reference material. In particular, "Hetappi Manga Kenkyujo" greatly influenced the way I draw manga.
Akira Toriyama:
Thank you. You've complimented me so much I'm a bit embarrassed. Please keep up the hard work on drawing your own manga.
==Question #5==
Mami Sato (Ibaraki Prefecture):
I love Dragon Ball. I really like Bulma. Please continue to draw your great manga.
Akira Toriyama:
Surprisingly, there are a great number of girls that say they like Bulma. Perhaps it's because her personality is a bit like a boy's. Personally, I don't really like harsh, selfish girls like Bulma.
==Question #6==
Akina Deura (Shizuoka Prefecture):
I was really happy to see Kuririn appear in the manga. (Although he hasn't made an appearance in a while.) Kuririn looks exactly like my daughter who is about to turn one year old.
Akira Toriyama:
Thank you. So, your daughter looks exactly like Kuririn... I don't know how to respond to that. But I'm sure your daughter is very cute. By the way, does she have a nose?
