His pirate adventure One Piece, which debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1997, quickly became one of the most popular manga in Japan.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2026Absolute peak, though I might be biased because I already read the whole manga to date lol
- Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI love the one piece anime and reading the first volume of the manga was amazing. Didn’t know zoros name was Zolo originally either.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2016This 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! - Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2026This is a must read for any anime or manga fan. This will change your life.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2026Got it as a gift for my boyfriend. One piece is his favorite anime he was very excited to get this.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2025I picked up One Piece, Vol. 1: Romance Dawn for my 8-year-old son since he asked for it, but it didn’t quite hold his interest. The story is fun and full of adventure, and I can see why it’s such a beloved series. The artwork is engaging, and the characters are unique and entertaining. It might just be a bit too much for younger readers to dive into right away. I still think it’s a great start to an epic series—just maybe better suited for slightly older kids or big manga fans.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2025Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI don’t typically read the manga series, but my friend insisted that I did both anime and manga for one piece, and I’m not regretting it!! I would recommend this book to people who watch anime/manga like Demon Slayer or My Hero Academia
- Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2026Compre este libro para mi hijo y él está encantado ya que le encanta leer y one piece es uno de sus animes favoritos todas las noches lo lee antes de dormirse lo tiene junto a su cama la verdad pienso que hice una buena compra recomendado

5.0 out of 5 starsthere was a man who achieved everything in this world...
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.
