One Piece is the best manga I have ever read. It is funny, exciting, badass, and touching. It's made me laugh and cry countless number of times. If you want to take your mind on an epic adventure, read this manga. Seriously, what other manga features an island in the sky, an underwater island, a bubble island as well as giants, mermaids, zombies, trannies, etc, in addition to pirates and marines? I am so grateful to Eiichiro Oda for creating this wonderful and beautifully written manga. It astounds me how this manga just keeps getting better and better.

It got dull after the sixth or seveth volume, and trust me I love stuff like this! It just asn't my cup of tea. It WAS good, but then it got... dull. (I don't like that I keep using that word.)

Awesome character development, AMAZING art (just check the backgrounds and objects!!), plot is genius.......I dont understand thoses who say it sucks....I could understand for the art since not everyone got the same taste, but the plot is just too amazingly thought(you never know how they will resolve a problem) and the character developements got to be one of the best I have seen !..

u tell by look at comment how good this manga is ...otherwise no one will waste write long comment ......but new people who is going read in 1st time sud watch anime 1st u will understand better that way .....ok

this is probably the only manga which i have enjoyed reading every chapter of without ever being bored or skipping, the concept of the manga is nothing new but the characters and the world that author created made this manga the best i have ever read and the most important thing about a manga is how much you enjoy it everything else is secondary

This is the best long running manga / anime.
At first the art was a turn off but you eventually get used to it.
The characters are so lovable and there's no major, unnecessary drama which usually ruins and bores me :S The humor here is great :'D
I'm not sure why people have rated it 1.
This manga is def. a 10/10

One Piece is my favourite manga series and is one of the best mangas I've ever read. Oda-sensei has such a unique look to work, in terms of his art, story, characters and execution of the plot. Each character he crafts with care, and they are extremely distinguishable from each other in terms of their physical appearance and personality. He obviously spent the most time on the Straw Hats crew and created wonderful back stories for each of them. The main thing that drew me into this story was the theme of friendship that has carried throughout the series and with each of the Straw Hats and thier bonds to each other. They're all friends and there's no complications of romance between characters and its all mainly friendship based (with the exception of Sanji but he's special ). There's amazing fight scenes, creative attack specialities especially in the many devil fruits featured and badass enemies! What an amazing mixture of action, comedy and drama! I love this series!!

I admit in the beginning I wasn't as into it as I am now, but it has a way of sucking you in as it never gets boring and all of the character interactions are funny and significant. This is one series that'll definitely go down as a classic. ^_^

I have read probably every single one of the "big shounen mangas," and this one definitely takes the top. Although the art may not appeal to many people at first, once you get used to it, it's really quite amazing. No two characters look exactly the same and they all have distinct personalities from each other. Unlike other mangas, this manga doesn't have a focus point on romance (thank god, really.) and focuses more on friendship, making this story probably the most unique story out there.

The storyline doesn't get boring either. There's always humor which makes you laugh, and the character interactions are well, nothing short of exceptionally amazing.

I used to avoid One Piece because of it's art, and now that I think about it, I wonder why I was so stupid (seriously, go read it!) his art takes it's own life, and it's so explicitly detailed it's utterly amazing and I can't say enough that One Piece is probably the shining beacon of all shounen manga because I think it's the only reason I haven't given up on it. It's not overrated, for one. In fact, I think it's under-rated. Unlike the other big mangas (Bleach, Naruto, etc. etc.) the plot never gets old, and the 550 something chapters fly by really fast.

There's ton of great scenes and all in all, if you don't read it you are seriously missing out on one of the best pieces of all time.

well i read the comments of people that didn't like the manga, well i respect your point of view considering a manga-ka can't satisfy everybody, i want to be a manga-ka myself and i consider Oda an example of what kind of manga-ka i wanna be because his creativity is beyond human reach, people say that the artwork is crappy sometimes but i think it's stylish it's his signature and well I am really happy that my mentality isn't mature enough to see one piece childish, because i feel kinda bad for the people that can't come to like this serie, with my humble opinion i believe is the best manga ever but that's just me i know people that like romance stuff (which you won't find in onepiece) above adventure mangas like this one and it's just great because everybody is different so for that everybody needs a different kind of entertainment.

10/10

One Piece is one of the best series that I've ever read. The bottom line is that this series is (for better or worse) almost 100% slap-stick comedy. The plot is simple, but pretty original and very good. There are no stupid love triangles, no smut, and no angst. If you enjoy over-the-top antics and a captain who constantly puts his crew in danger (but that's to be expected....because they're pirates. why sneak around and play it safe when you're a pirate?), then this is the series for you.

It's very long, but I don't mind . I just love this series.
