A review by thimtomes
One Piece, Vol. 55: A Ray of Hope by Eiichiro Oda

emotional funny fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.75

Don't love the "queer" rep, but it is quite typical of Japanese lit, especially older stuff I guess. 

Other than that, lots of friendship and willpower overcomes hardship in this one. Classic One Piece.
