I love how the manga is slightly darker than the anime. Its interesting to see the differences too.
There have been a long time since I’ve enjoyed a manga as much as One Piece. This manga pocket has been lying around in my bookshelf for years, and since my boyfriend is a huge fan I finally picked it up. Mangas are quick to read and very enjoyable.
Luffy is a lovable character in an exciting world. The characters are easy to enjoy and the story is easy to follow. You really just want to continue to read, and because the story is extremely long you actually can.

Back in 2003 when i got my first job at 14 I picked up volume 1 at my local Barnes and noble. My little teenage mind was blown away by how funny this book was and yet charming and exciting with art that went against most modern manga art styles. So then I picked up book 2 and loved it just as much and decided to jump into the anime. Years went by while I was in High School I watched the newest episode with subtitles every single week. I loved it and stopped around the arc when Luffy got him gum gum Kio Ken move. So anyway, fast forward about 12 years later and I'm ready to jump right back into the adventure and catch up.
I started with Omnibus 1 because I just had to see all these years later if it can recapture the same feelings. This covers Luffy on his first adventure alone, meeting Zolo (I'm so used to Zoro, not sure why it changed), meeting Nami, and then the first arc with Usopp. Zolo and Luffy's arc is probably the best, as it's fast paced and funny, but Nami has some heartfelt moments especially with a doggie, and usopp is charming and cute.
People say give one piece like 100 episodes before it gets good, but I disagree. Right off the bat the series has so much spunk and excitement. It's cute, it's funny, it can be super serious and pull on those heartstrings at times, and the fights are always exciting. I think One Piece is the most sold manga of all time for a reason, because it's so damn well crafted.
While not the best arcs, they are to come, this is still a great start to the series. A 4 out of 5.

I like when he does the stretchy punch thing
My child loves One Piece, so I thought I’d give it a whirl. It’s fun and accessible comedy adventure manga.
The first three volumes make up this omnibus. And it’s still getting it’s footing. It’s good, but it’s not mind blowing.
