Best manga ever created!! If you are new to manga, highly recommend this. The story is beautifully written and it’s hilarious.
I have been itching to read this. I read the first few volumes as a kid but was never able to find the next volumes at B&N, so I gave up, but now I have a chance to read it again! It's just as funny as I remembered!
It has been a hot minute since I have read a manga or any graphic novel. I will also admit I have never seen the One Piece anime, but I have watched a few episodes of the live-action series. With that being said, this is a fun introduction to the world of the Straw Hat Pirates as we read the first 8 chapters and start the introduction of Luffy’s crew. The story is easy to follow, the characters are well done and fun and I can see the appeal that this story has had over its many, many fans. I will also say that I like reading this on the Kindle Fire, as it is convenient for me to take multiple books with me on one device. I am glad that I picked this up.
The manga is awesome and very entertaining, One Piece is amazing!
As a life long fan I had to have the first book. Amazing bonus material
I read this after One Piece, since I wanted to try the manga. It is great, easy to understand, no major differences from the anime, and reminds me of the older episodes
This is my first real manga and while my husband and I are fans of the show and I was super excited to get this, I wasn't sure how I would like it. Aside from the newspaper funnies, Garfield books, and Poke'mon comics, I have never really delved into stuff like this. It was a little challenging reminding myself to read in the opposite direction, but I finally got the hang of it. Plot: It's pretty much like the anime so far but it showed more back story so it was still new and fresh. I liked the little fun sections like character history and how-to-draw pages. Sometimes it was a little hard to tell what was going on because there was so much happening in a panel, but overall I got the gist of it and the story itself is interesting. Zolo (Zorro) especially has an interesting back story. Setting: The overall setting of One Piece, when piracy is in it's golden age, is always fun. Characters: So far the characters are just like in the anime, though Zorro is called "Zolo" here. Not sure if I will ever be able to get over that change. Anyway, Luffy is just as funny in this, Zolo (Zorro) is his typical smartass self, and Nami is mischievous. I did like Koby a little better here. I find him super annoying in the show. Relationships: I liked seeing more of Luffy and Shank's history in this. It was also neat to see how Luffy won over Koby and Zolo (Zorro). Writing/Voice: Overall enjoyable lines, a few made me a chuckle. Ending: Made me immediately order the next book. Because while I know what happens in the show, it's a little different and I want to see it in manga form. Overall, this was a great first manga to try. Now I'm hooked! There's a ton of books in this series so I will be busy for a while. It was a different experience but since I love reading and art, I definitely enjoyed it. Being a fan of the anime helped. I ordered the next two books so hopefully I will get to them soon, too!
