This iconic series, created by Akira Toriyama, has garnered immense popularity since its debut in the 1980s and original copies are considered highly valuable collectibles.
The police are currently investigating how these counterfeit editions were distributed and sold, as genuine first editions can command high prices due to their rarity and significance in manga history.
