One Piece Volume 61

Future Nick here. I took a little bit of a break between writing the previous post and this one. It felt like a good moment to take a break from reading One Piece and pick up some other stuff.

I know that some of my students like anime, but a vast majority most likely doesn’t interact with the medium at all. … Continue reading Teaching Anime →
