One Piece Box Set Volume 1: Volumes 1-23 with Premium (One Piece Box Sets)

Product Information

chapters might seem like a lot, but if these first 200ish is supposed to be the weakest then the rest is doubtlessly a masterpiece. It is genuinely fun, funny and moving and the art is surprisingly good (I did have some misconceptions due to the anime figure sticks but in truth the author is a great artist: hello Zoro, Smoker, Crocodile etc). You can tell that the author put his heart and soul into this fictional world, because longtime readers can see that not a single detail was missed or forgotten about. My rating is completely pointless, though, as I've been reading One Piece since I was 9 and I still think it's a masterpiece. The box looks quite nice and is strong enough to provide an extra layer of protection for your books.

The manga is far from perfect and riddled with what are now generic anime tropes but in the end it's damn enjoyable! Pictures would be more useful than my descriptions alone, so I'll upload some and add them to this review at a later date. I will be honest and say I skipped Coby and Alvida's introductions, cause I've read those chapters so many times and I'm not a big fan of them.And when we do reach the point where we are several adventures in, our main characters have changed in meaningful and powerful ways.

This box set includes volumes 1-23, which comprise the first two story arcs, East Blue and Baroque Works. One of the reasons I love this kind of story telling is because it makes it feel like every plot thread matters. Although I always hear that the beginning is pretty rough to reread, I actually enjoyed most of this a lot. One of the most popular comic artists in Japan today, Oda started out by winning the Hop Step Award (a monthly award given by Jump for amateur artists) as well as the esteemed Tezuka Award.Volumes 10,11, and 12 have a lot of action including scenes where Luffy's crew fights the fish-men because they lied and betrayed Nami.
