This year’s January issue of Shueisha’s V Jump magazine announced on Wednesday that Toyotarō’s Dragon Ball Super manga will launch a new “Galactic Patrol Prisoner Arc” in the next issue on December 21.
This month’s chapter 42 finished the manga’s version of the events of the Dragon Ball Super anime before introducing new characters for the new arc.
The film’s story will take place after the Dragon Ball Super anime, and it will get a novel adaptation.
Toyotarō launched the manga in V Jump magazine in June 2015 as an adaptation of the Dragon Ball Super anime, though the manga diverges from the anime in several ways.
