Whenever Oda isn’t doing a cover story at the start of each chapter, he does requests from the audience. They’re often a little bit weird and regularly involve animals. But someone requesting a picture of “goats eating letters written by Caesar Clown”??? What kind of strange mind came up with that? I just want to … Continue reading One Piece Volume 93

One Piece Volume 91
We’re here in the wonderful land of Wano and things are already weird. Giant animals are fighting each other, children are being kidnapped and there’s even a man dressed as tengu. Luffy finds himself with Tama and her guardian, who are waiting for the return of a certain Portgas D. Ace. We also see Basil … Continue reading One Piece Volume 91
One Piece Volume 90 (Start of Wano)
After a little break we’re finally diving into a long awaited arc of One Piece. When we first realized we were going to Wano we were all so excited and I think the detour to Whole Cake Island felt kind of less impactful because of it. Wano and Elbaph were the two major arcs we … Continue reading One Piece Volume 90 (Start of Wano)
From Sabaody to Wano
A lot has happened in a very short time. Well, a very short time in the world of One Piece, that is. When we look at how much time it took in the real world, it actually wasn’t a short time at all. A little more than 300 chapters have taken place in the new … Continue reading From Sabaody to Wano
One Piece Volume 89 (and a bit from 90)
This volume almost concludes the Whole Cake Island storyline, but there are two chapters in the next volume that are still a crucial part of this arc before we truly move on. For this reason I’ve decided to include those two chapters while leaving the rest of volume 90 for after a little break during … Continue reading One Piece Volume 89 (and a bit from 90)
One Piece: Fan Letter
As we all know by now - and if this is how you’re finding out, I’m sorry - the One Piece anime is taking a substantial break from its weekly episodes covering the manga. Instead they will show us a newly animated version of the Fishman Island arc as well as a special based on … Continue reading One Piece: Fan Letter
One Piece Volume 88
Volume 88 is upon us, and whenever I see the number 8 in something Japanese I’m reminded of the famous movie “Hachi”. Have you guys seen that? It’s based on a true story about a loyal dog named Hachiko that followed his owner to work every day, and continued to wait for him to return … Continue reading One Piece Volume 88
One Piece Volume 86
Volume 86 marks the 20th anniversary of the One Piece manga. For those of us who can do math, that’s about 4 volumes a year, with a little bit extra. Oda at this point in time admits that maybe he should start taking the series a bit more seriously. Which he then contradicts almost immediately … Continue reading One Piece Volume 86
One Piece Volume 85
We join the gang as they get out of their predicaments from the last volume. To an extent, at least. I love how a lot of these stories are very meticulously crafted so that the volumes work out having good cliffhangers. Writing consistent weekly chapters is a skill already, but also having both the chapters … Continue reading One Piece Volume 85
Dinner for two in another world
It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of worldbuilding. I love it when a world you read about or watch something about feels like it was lovingly crafted. The people living there feel realistic, they have their own cultures and their politics are complex yet sensible. I love complex magic systems but I also … Continue reading Dinner for two in another world
