Cowa! (こわ! Kowa!?) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Akira Toriyama. It began in late 1997 despite the artist suffering from a hurting arm.[1] The manga was first serialized in Japan by Weekly Shōnen Jump and then made into a tankōbon by Jump Comics. This was Toriyama's first major project since the Dragon Ball manga.[1]
