"Ooishi-san understands Dragon Ball really well, and she knows so much about it too. I've plump forgot what in Dragon Ball, so she knows about 1,000 times more about it than me! But what I admire more is her considerable artistic strength and skill at manga composition."
— Akira Toriyama, 2009

"I have loved Dragon Ball since I was a child, so even now it feels like such a dream to get to draw it myself. Having Toriyama-sensei personally look at my story boards and offer me advice made me do my very best drawing this manga."
— Naho Ooishi, 2009
