Mako Maruyama
Akira Toriyama said this manga was his personal favorite.
The main character is Paifu, but I chose to focus on Mako Maruyama, or Makoleen,
because Akira Toriyama said this was the character he really wanted as the protagonist.
—Toyotarou
This is a special monthly series where we feature sketches drawn by Toyotarou, the co-creator of V Jump's ongoing series Dragon Ball Super!
This month's illustration is "Mako Maruyama"!
In this manga, Akira Toriyama attempted a "slightly picture book-esque" style.
The story featured a uniquely creepy, yet cute world with spooky creatures and humans living together, and the first chapter, published in Weekly Shonen Jump 1997 No. 48, was printed in full color.
Be sure to leave a comment below telling us what character you want Toyotarou to draw next and in what situation!
You might get to see your idea come to life in the next article!
