Dragon Ball Super Vol. 24 is exactly what you expect: high-octane, beautifully drawn, and loud. It’s the comfort food of the manga world.

It’s not trying to be high art, but it’s a fantastic way to keep a kid reading. The violence is 'cartoonish'—think superheroes, not slasher films—and the focus on Gohan’s family life adds a layer of heart that the series sometimes lacks.

If your kid is already into the show or the previous books, this is a no-brainer. It’s safe, exciting, and lightyears better than most of the mindless scrolling they could be doing instead.
