As a child, Monkey D. Luffy was inspired to become a pirate by listening to the tales of the buccaneer "Red-Haired" Shanks.

Title: My First Manga
Review: This is my first real manga and while my husband and I are fans of the show and I was super excited to get this, I wasn't sure how I would like it. Aside from the newspaper funnies, Garfield books, and Poke'mon comics, I have never really delved into stuff like this. It was a little challenging reminding myself to read in the opposite direction, but I finally got the hang of it.Plot:It's pretty much like the anime so far but it showed more back story so it was still new and fresh. I liked the little fun sections like character history and how-to-draw pages. Sometimes it was a little hard to tell what was going on because there was so much happening in a panel, but overall I got the gist of it and the story itself is interesting. Zolo (Zorro) especially has an interesting back story.Setting:The overall setting of One Piece, when piracy is in it's golden age, is always fun.Characters:So far the characters are just like in the anime, though Zorro is called "Zolo" here. Not sure if I will ever be able to get over that change.Anyway, Luffy is just as funny in this, Zolo (Zorro) is his typical smartass self, and Nami is mischievous. I did like Koby a little better here. I find him super annoying in the show.Relationships:I liked seeing more of Luffy and Shank's history in this.It was also neat to see how Luffy won over Koby and Zolo (Zorro).Writing/Voice:Overall enjoyable lines, a few made me a chuckle.Ending:Made me immediately order the next book. Because while I know what happens in the show, it's a little different and I want to see it in manga form.Overall, this was a great first manga to try. Now I'm hooked! There's a ton of books in this series so I will be busy for a while. It was a different experience but since I love reading and art, I definitely enjoyed it. Being a fan of the anime helped. I ordered the next two books so hopefully I will get to them soon, too!

Title: Great Book that brings back memories
Review: I read this after One Piece, since I wanted to try the manga. It is great, easy to understand, no major differences from the anime, and reminds me of the older episodes

Title: One Piece, Vol 1
Review: It has been a hot minute since I have read a manga or any graphic novel. I will also admit I have never seen the One Piece anime, but I have watched a few episodes of the live-action series. With that being said, this is a fun introduction to the world of the Straw Hat Pirates as we read the first 8 chapters and start the introduction of Luffy’s crew. The story is easy to follow, the characters are well done and fun and I can see the appeal that this story has had over its many, many fans. I will also say that I like reading this on the Kindle Fire, as it is convenient for me to take multiple books with me on one device. I am glad that I picked this up.

Title: I'm ready for the long haul
Review: I have been itching to read this. I read the first few volumes as a kid but was never able to find the next volumes at B&N, so I gave up, but now I have a chance to read it again! It's just as funny as I remembered!

Review: I've thoroughly enjoyed a few hundred episodes of the anime series, and I've thoroughly enjoyed the first season of the live action reboot. I've now thoroughly enjoyed reading the first manga volume: some of the elements are the same, but there's something about the differences in what's included - and what's left out - that makes this feel like it's not only the definitive One Piece experience, but also the optimal One Piece experience!

Review: 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.
