Is Dragon Ball Super considered canon?


Is Dragon Ball Super considered an original works by Akira Toriyama?




This really depends on [what you consider
canon](https://anime.stackexchange.com/a/5219/11469), but for now let's define
"canon" as material that's covered in the original source material and has
impact on the story.

Since this season does have a manga adaptation and takes place after [Kid Buu
Saga](http://dragonball.wikia.com/wiki/Kid_Buu_Saga) from _Dragon Ball Z_ but
before the tournament with Uub, I would say that this **is canon** material.

_But_ , After seeing more then the first episode I think its safe to say that
the anime does not follow the manga 100%. Therefore I consider it **somewhat
canon**.
