As a fan of One Piece for over 10 years now, I knew I had to get a proof copy from NetGalley for the first English translation of Oda’s early works. I had come across Romance Dawn and Monsters before, but the other 3 short stories I didn’t know about! It really shows what Oda’s philosophies in life are and what he pulled from the stories when making One Piece. I was quite surprised at how much he enjoyed writing about ghosts.

A brilliant debut novel which shows how complicated family can be, yet never shying away from the beauty of it. I really enjoyed Rebecca K Reilly’s writing and the development of her characters and I am looking forward to whatever they write next.
