I will give this manga credit for one thing, it is definitely an interesting concept. The idea of a schoolchild adept with the world of Dragon Ball being thrown into the body of best boy Yamcha had so much interesting and creative potential. That being said, there is a strong emphasis on the "potential"
This short manga--emphasis on short--by Mr. Dragon Garow Lee is a cute mini-story that explored the above-stated concept in an entirely proficient way. The art emulated each era of Toriyama's styles present in the story to a surprisingly decent degree and worked as one of the major highlights.

The art's fine. the overall idea is fine, but that's it. The manga's too short to do anything interesting with the concept stretched over such a long timeline.
