Most manga don’t make it to fifty published volumes. I don’t know the statistics, but I’m confident that a lot don’t even make it to ten volumes. That makes it all the more impressive that after reading volume 50 of One Piece, we’re still not even halfway done with everything that’s out. And that’s not … Continue reading One Piece Volume 50

One Piece Volume 44
