Land of Sand is a story created by Akira Toriyama that imagines a desert world where there is a constant struggle for water as it is a scarce and valuable resource. The story follows a young hero named Rao, a demon, and his companion as they set out to find the liquid and save their people. Throughout their journey they will have to face challenges and colorful characters.
This incredible work will have an anime adaptation so fans can see more of the adventures created by Toriyama Sensei. The best part is that you can now enjoy the beginning, which can be seen chapter by chapter.

On the other hand, the ending, titled “Drive My Idea”, will be composed by indie rock band Tempalay, both groups debuting with a song for the anime.
