One Piece, Vol. 1: Romance Dawn

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!

Awesome manga if anyone is looking for actionAnd adventure mangas thank you for reading this paragraph of nonsense words.

Very good!

I couldn't be happier with this product! The quality is top-notch, and it works exactly as advertised. It arrived quickly, was well-packaged, and has exceeded my expectations in every way. Customer service was also excellent, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for something reliable and high-quality. Will definitely purchase again!

Fire as always Oda sensei great manga amazing anime was surprised to see the huge amount of differences between the anime and the manga.

I 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.

Excelente
