Summary: ONE PIECE!!!
Review: One Piece is THE BEST Anime/Manga I have ever seen, I've watched over 200 animes in the past thirteen years; Nothing comes close the greatness of One Piece. This Manga is hilarious! Monkey D. Luffy is one of the best characters ever created, along with Roronoa Zoro and Nami. These are the only main chars you'll see in the first Manga, but there are many more to come so don't miss the next one where Buggy the Clown Pirate appears! Red nooose kaizokuuu!!

Summary: They call him Strawhat Luffy...
Review: One Piece is the first manga i've ever read. Ive often been recommended to read an manga, but the most i've ever done is glance at them on the shelf. After being lent this vol. 1 of one piece, i'm already hooked! It begins w/ a young boy who dreams of being a pirate like his idol, Captain "red haired" Shanks is. He always tries to impress them only to be told he is too young. Soon he accidentally eats the "Fruit of the Devil" which gives him rubber-like qualities. After proving himself to Shanks w/ these new abilities, Luffy is given Shanks' straw hat. 10 years later..... Luffy is now out on the sea trying to find himself a pirate crew. The first person he meets is Koby, a young cabing boy. Luffy helps him escape from the evil Iron Mace Alvida, and the too set off to the navy island, where Koby wants to enlist. While at the island, Luffy gets tied up in an adventure which includes Roronoa Zoro, a pirate hunter, who Luffy wants to join his crew. But to free Zoro, Luffy must go through Axe-Hand Morgan, the dictator-like commander of the navy, and his spoiled son, Helmeppo. Also, Luffy meets Nami, a pirate robber and is chased by pirates who work for Buggy the Clown. (to be continued....)

Summary: Pirates are FUNNY!!!
Review: One piece is the hilarious story of a man named Luffy who wants to be the best pirate ever. But, by accident he ate the fruit of the devil and now he's a rubber man who will never learn to swim. If you think THAT stopped him, than you just don't know Monkey D. Luffy!!
One Piece is a great story that is wildly popular in Japan, and for good reason! The antics are both extremely funny, and incredibly engaging. One Piece is originaly found in Shonen Jump, but now with the graphic novel out, more people can enjoy the awesome manga experience that is One Piece!

Summary: One Piece
Review: The first volume of One Piece is when Luffy first sets out to become a pirate in an era when the Navy has gone corrupt. When we think of pirates most of us think of mean people who have no loyalties, but Luffy is not like that at all. He's fiercly loyal to all his friends and comrades and sticks up for what he thinks is right.Although he is unable to swim, a consqeuence of eating the Gum Gum fruit, Luffy faces his goal of being the best pirate in the world with steadfast determination. Armed with his rubbery body, which he uses to fight off other pirates and a hat, a mento of a pirate captain (and friend) who saved Luffy from a shark at the cost of his hand, Luffy sets out on his journey to become the worlds best pirate. This first novel shows how Luffy gains his First Mate Zoro a world reknown pirate hunter and swordsmen and his Navigator - a pirate thief. I recommened this novel to anyone who likes Anime/Magna and anyone who is not yet a fan. This is a fun story full of friendship, loyalty, and of course pirates.

Summary: One Piece: The Best Manga Ever Created!!!!!
Review: This is one comic that you're gonna buy when you finish reading this review. Guarnteed. This is the best manga I've ever seen(and believe me, I've read a lot of manga in the last week, about 3-4 chapters of 14 different titles). Volume one starts off with a young boy named Luffy, inspired by captian shanks to become the king of the pirates. Luffy acidentally eats the Gum-Gum fruit, a fruit that when you eat it that disables your ability to swim from the rest of your life! And so his whole body became able to stretch like rubber. 10 years later, he finally sets out to sea. One guy in a rowboat destined to become the king of the Pirates!

Summary: One Piece: The Best Manga Ever Created!!!!!
Review: This series is wonderfully original and phenomenally funny! Just reading the first chapter made me a fan for life. The art style is very different but quickly endears itself to the reader because of its flow, pacing, and simplicity. The author, Oda has a gift for storytelling which is evident in this book and only improves as the series progresses. I strongly recommend that everyone pick up this book immediately and see why the series is loved all around the world. The book is set in a world where pirates roam the seas, and mysterious powers can be gained by eating "devil-fruit". The characters in this series are immensely likeable, with stories that will make you laugh and cry. The sense of adventure that the main character Luffy exudes is insanely infectious, and will quickly instill a desire in the reader to grab a bandana and join the crew. This book is the epitome of how stories should be told. There are 29 volumes published in Japan (as of October 2003) and the series is still going strong. Currently it's being serialized in Viz's Shonen Jump monthly anthology (also highly recommended) and collected into Graphic Novels when enough chapters have been published. Shonen Jump tends to print 1-3 chapters of One Piece in each issue, and each volume contains 9-10 chapters each, so readers can expect 2 or 3 collected volumes each year.

Summary: Highly enjoyable manga
Review: This wonderful series, "One Piece" is a comedy-drama, and one of my favorite manga. I think the reason I like it so much is that, although it is technically a shonen series, it has a little something for everyone: comedy, drama, tears, laughter, magic, strong male and female characters, and the obligatory "cute" character (Tonytony Chopper, who is introduced much later and is so much more than just a cute sidekick). And, of course, pirates. :D Even with the over-the-top character designs, superpowers, and elements of magic, Luffy and his friends are all enjoyable and sympathetic, with well-balanced flaws and strengths. Luffy seems too stupid to captain a ship, but occasionally has moments of brilliance that make you wonder if he's secretly a genius. Zoro, the gruff woman-hating swordsman, softens when faced with a little girl who did something special just for him. Nami begins to care about Luffy and company, despite her insistance that she will never be a pirate. Usopp is a coward, but comes through when those he cares about are in danger. Despite his suave exterior, Sanji goes gaga when a pretty woman pays him the slightest attention. Chopper begins to see that there are humans out there worthy of his trust. The dynamics between the whole group, once they are assembled, is incredibly fun and full of chemistry. On the most basic level, you could call it a pirate comedy, but it is so much more than that. Sure, it is full of funny jokes and silly sight gags, but there is something very serious behind all that. "One Piece" is about chasing your dreams, and doing so with a group of loyal nakama ("companions") at your side. Luffy's crew are more than friends; they are family, bound together by affection and hardship. They trust their lives to one another, and learn each other's limits. Along the way, they confront their pasts and look to the future, and set out to make their individual dreams into reality.
