This was the first manga that I officially read all (well mostly) the way through. It was a cute story about some monsters and humans trying to help each other out and do the right thing. I think it would be fun to read in the fall. It reminded me of the old-style comic strips.

Apto para niños y muy del estilo Toriyama, con historia sencilla pero resultona y unas cuantas batallas que recuerdan mucho a las de la primera etapa de Dragon Ball.

another fun one shot by Toriyama, similar to Sand Land, but not nearly as good. a tad too childish for my tastes, but still fun in it’s own right

Found this while looking around on the Shonen Jump app, saw an Akira Toriyama series I didn't know and had to read it. Cute, light, fun creatures; a real nice read.

Fun read. Great for tween boys -- monsters, fart jokes, fighting bad guys -- what more could they want.

Originally published in 1997, Cowa! is an incredibly charming all ages one-shot from the mangaka behind Dragon Ball and Dr. Slump, and perhaps one of the most famous Japanese creators in North America, Akira Toriyama.
Not an easy story to really pick apart, suffice to say that this story of a bunch of monster children and famed murderer saving the day is all the charm of Dragon Ball without any of the problematic parts. An obvious companion to the likes of the extremely popular Nightmare Before Christmas, I would also recommend Little Vampire by Joann Sfar if you have not already picked up that one. #365DaysofHalloween
