Hello all, GK asked me to come here and pimp this manga, and who am I to turn him down? XD One PieceIt's a series created by Eechiro Oda, and it's a Shounen series that runs in Weekly Jump. So, what is this one about, then? Pirates!! It's the story of Monkey D. Luffy, that sets out to find the biggest treasure in the world, the One Piece, and so be crowned Pirate King! On his journey, he meets a lot of cool people that join him, to make their own dreams come true. Art exampleThis is quite an action-packed series, and while the art is not superb, the story is simply amazing, and it will have you laughing and crying every other page. ^__^ Even though you don't like the first few volumes, give it time, it develops further out, and becomes what is now the most popular series in Japan! And if you still doubt the quality, ask GK or NJT, and they will gladly confirm it (right?).

I like OP but not THAT much, Hermie, hence why I asked you to pimp it instead But yeah, One Piece is unquestionably the most popular manga in the world. I've read as far as the latest chapters and it does offer a lot of unique adventure and plot twists, as well as very zany comedy moments and a memorable character cast. If you've experienced OP at all through the anime currently televising on 4kids, trust me, they completely *butchered* the original story - skipped parts, changed the art, and from what I've heard, terrible voice casting. The anime is best watched in its original format.

I usually enjoy One Piece in Shonen Jump, but it goes up and down quite a lot for me. Lately, I haven't liked it that much, but it's looking up. I enjoyed the last chapter I read.
I did want Will to get the anime someday, but if it's not good, then I won't have him bother with it. I think he'd enjoy the story, but not if the anime messes up the story.
