Manga/Tankōbon/Volume 06

==Question #1==
Tatsuhira Koike (Saitama Prefecture):
On the spines of the Dragon Ball graphic novels, so far you've drawn a Dragon Ball with one star for every volume of the series goes over seven volumes?
Akira Toriyama:
You're right! The spines with the drawings of the dragon and the Dragon Balls will end after the seventh volume. I am wondering myself what to do from the eighth volume on.
==Question #2==
Nobukatsu Sekigawa (Kanagawa Prefecture):
I like Pu'er. I told my brother that Pu'er is a cat and he told me that Pu'er is a mouse. Who is right?
Akira Toriyama:
Actually, Pu'er is neither a cat nor a mouse, but I draw him a little bit like a cat.
==Question #3==
Kimio Nagasaki (Shizuika Prefecture):
Over New Year's break, I made a stamp using your characters. Nine months from now, I am planning on using the dragon from Dragon Ball to make my New Year's greeting cards.
Akira Toriyama:
This is a great stamp! I imagine it took quite a lot of work. I am really impressed. I look forward to seeing your dragon cards, please send me one when you're finished.
==Question #4==
Yasuhiro Ando (Aichi Prefecture):
The caricature that you draw of yourself in the comics looks like a dirty old man, so I thought that you probably looked like a dirty old man yourself. But I saw your photograph in Shōnen Jump and you looked very handsome.
Akira Toriyama:
Ha ha ha! You think so? You're right! I do look good! You're a great guy! Unfortunately, I just can't get too excited about a guy complimenting me like this...
==Question #5==
Yasuto Tamagawa (Osaka Prefecture):
What are those six marks on Kuririn's face? Is it a scar? Please tell me.
Akira Toriyama:
Ah! You noticed it! The marks on Kuririn's forehead are incense burns. Sometimes you see these scars on Chinese monks in the movies. I thought I should add them because Kuririn's face is so plain.
==Question #6==
Koki Yasuda (Osaka Prefecture):
Often in the last page of your comic in Shōnen Jump, you write about how you have pet birds. I would like to become a manga artist, and I also love animals. I would love to draw manga and have a lot of pets.
Akira Toriyama:
I think it's a great thing to be an animal lover, although if you are going to have pets you should be responsible for them. In my household we have a bird, a cat, and a dog. Actually, if I could, I would love to also have a goat and a chicken.
