日本版と一緒に見比べて、子どもも喜んでいました。

Great book!

I've got all of the books in Japanese and am currently collecting the English version. I truly believe that this series has something in it for every reader. The story revolves around a boy who wants to become the king of pirates and his band of merry pirates. But the great part is that it isn't all just fun and games. This epic tale takes on popular themes like friendship, adventure and hope but also doesn't forget that the world isn't perfect and brings in death, war and racism. I can see why it is the most popular comic series in history and has sold over 230million copies. I am using these books as a reading activity for my students (I'm a kids English teacher) who have medium to high reading abilities. It's far more enjoyable than reading regular books because the pictures make it faster and easier to understand. If you are studying English I recommend reading this or other comic books rather than trudging through a long novel with a dictionary in hand.

息子の勉強のためと思い、まだワンピースのお話を知らないため、１巻を購入しました。 英語、良い感じです。私の方がはまってしまいました！！

日本語版と一緒に重ねて読むと、英語の勉強になる。 そして、勉強なのに、まったく飽きが来ない。 意外と簡単な英語なので、読みやすいかもしれない。

My son (11 yrs) loves to read it! He wants to get another one.

英語表現が楽しく勉強できるので。でも海外版はやっぱり高いですね。

Good manga

Amazing product, official matterial

I had a well-preserved One Piece collection, but last year I had to sell it to raise money to buy a new notebook, hard times, it wasn't an easy decision... Some time later I got better financially and started a collection again, kanzenban (3 in 1), the paper is better and has a higher cost benefit in the end. And today I decided to buy the American volume 01 to make my collection even cooler, I liked the format, the paper better than the one used here in Brazil, I just didn't like the translation "Zolo" .... my God hahaha other than that, yeah a great manga.

A crazy and fun adventure based manga with strong characterization. This is currently my favourite manga series for many good reasons ! First of all it's visual style is very strange and unique .... it's very borderline cartoonish , which some people may find a turn off. But if looks turn you off that easily, well I guess you're a shallow one then. This drawing style simply oozes fun and freedom , which is what this title is all about ! The characters are very expressive and you can sense the unrestrained joy in the characters' chesire cat grins. Unlike a lot of generic and restrictive styles of anime/manga , this title is full of outlandishly varied character designs .....some are very caricaturist , but you'd be surprised even alot of the weirdo looking characters play important parts ! Secondly this Manga series has really great characterization , probably the best I've seen from a long running title. All the main characters have a strong background story which explains the way they act and is revealed at the right time. This gives great development and depth to the characters and make them rather more likable than your typical manga/anime stereotypes. Another good thing about this manga is that it doesn't take it self too seriously ! It's full of weird and wacky humor which is a refreshing change, from a lot of the over-melodramatic anime/mangas that take themselves too seriously. There are really funny times throughout this series, a lot of them come from the immature bickering from the main characters, as none of them really get along .... hehe .... which is comedy chemistry gold. Also a lot of great physical comedy and laughable expressions can be found in this title also. Especially considering the strange body morphing powers of some of the characters. The fight scenes are very imaginative also. A lot of your typical anime/manga battles tend to consist of who can hit/cut the hardest for the longest amount of time or who has the stronger energy blasts ..... but these battles are very imaginative , as the characters have more varied powers with proper weaknesses. The main hero is a rubber man for example and the artist can do all sorts of crazy things with this character visually. Anyway this is only the first book of many great stories and will set up the background of two of the central characters. Upon reading the first book , you'll get the idea of the free spirit of this series and you'll most probably like it.

Quality is very good
