The anime film adaptation of Akira Toriyama’s SAND LAND manga is set to open in Japanese cinemas on August 18, and a special version of the source material is on the way alongside it. A full-color version of the manga was announced in the August issue of Shueisha’s Saikyo Jump magazine, pictured above, and serialization is set to kick off when the next issue hits stands in Japan on August 4.
The original SAND LAND manga ran in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump from May to August 2000 and was compiled in a single volume.
VIZ Media publishes the SAND LAND manga in English and describes it like so:
In the far future, war has destroyed the entire Earth, leaving only a barren wasteland where the supply of water is controlled by the greedy king. In search of a long-lost lake, Sheriff Rao asked the king of the demons for help…and got the king’s son, Beelzebub, and his assistant, Thief. Together the unlikely trio sets off across the desert, facing dragons, bandits and the deadliest foe of all… the King’s army itself! It’s travel adventure and tank action in this new story from Akira Toriyama, the creator of Dragon Ball Z!
