We’ve made it to Volume 12, the first volume that says “Baroque Works” on the spine. Some quick math on my end reveals that this means we are a quarter into the year already. Can you believe that? As I’m writing this I’m not feeling great. I’m on the fence about going to work tomorrow, … Continue reading One Piece Volume 12 + Thoughts on the East Blue Saga

One Piece Volume 10
Volume 10. With a total of 104 volumes released that puts us at roughly ten percent of the story. It’s crazy to think that all of the East Blue Saga will eventually fit into ten percent of the story of One Piece. That’s less than some of the newer arcs cover on their own. Perhaps … Continue reading One Piece Volume 10
One Piece Volume 9
Wow. I knew I was going to enjoy this volume because it has my favorite chapter of all time. But I didn’t expect to have to take a break twice because I couldn’t see the panels through my tears. That’s a lie, I kind of did expect that if I’m totally honest with you all. … Continue reading One Piece Volume 9
One Piece Volume 8
I’ve been reading the volumes so far and I’ve been talking a lot about how much I’m enjoying them. I’ve also mentioned before that Arlong Park is my favorite arc. This volume, covering the remainder of the Baratie arc and the start of Arlong Park, is where One Piece hits its stride and never looks … Continue reading One Piece Volume 8
One Piece Volume 7
Here’s a little fun fact for you. This volume has a Question Corner at the end of chapter 54. Oda answers a question about a door being fixed when it should be broken in volume 1. He chalks it up to Mr. Minatomo, the carpenter. There’s even a small illustration of the guy. Now why … Continue reading One Piece Volume 7
One Piece Volume 6
Volume 6 is here and we’re quickly ramping up in excitement. Last time we finished up the Kuro pirates arc and Usopp officially joined the crew. We met up with Johnny and Yosaku who are Zoro’s buddies. The crew traveled to the sailing restaurant Baratie where we met Sanji, the next member to possibly join … Continue reading One Piece Volume 6
One Piece Volume 5
Five volumes read, another 100 or so to go. I recognize now that this journey might take a while. Which is fine but I do worry I’ll reach a point where I don’t want to stop reading. I might have to read ahead and get back to the volumes up for discussion each week. I … Continue reading One Piece Volume 5
One Piece Volume 4
Alright, we’ve made our way to volume 4. It’s going to be February by the time I’m posting this, can you believe how fast time flies. I still remember deciding on this idea for 2023 and beginning to read the volumes like it was yesterday. It’s a good way to get my fill of One … Continue reading One Piece Volume 4
One Piece Volume 3
We’ve made our way to Volume 3. We’re still in the early stages of One Piece and with the Captain Kuro arc coming up, which I think is one of the worst arcs in the series, we have one or two volumes to get through before things pick up and we never look back. Buggy … Continue reading One Piece Volume 3
Webtoon Unscrolled – Tower of God Volume 1
Look at it, it's an actual physical book now! I was so excited when I found out and I've already read it twice now. Hopefully they don't take too long adapting more of it, I'd love to at least have part 1 complete at some point. I think that won't be much more than 3-4 … Continue reading Webtoon Unscrolled – Tower of God Volume 1
