One Piece: East Blue 1-2-3

I bought this manga book for my son who doesn't love to read, and he will actually put himself to bed early & wind down with this book. It's also helpful if your child likes the show, "Onepiece" and doesn't mind if it's in black & white. I will definitely get the next in the series since the storyline continues way beyond this book.

This omnibus contains the first 3 volumes of One Piece, which are introductory volumes (Yes, 3 whole introductory volumes), not that it is bad or anything, One Piece is an extremely fun read, and things just get even better as the volumes go on!Enter Luffy, I'm sure we all know who he is and how he looks like, but just in case (And for the sake of wanting to write this), I will explain who he is! Monkey D. Luffy is an aspiring pirate king who at a young age vows to find the biggest treasure in the whole world, the One Piece! But before he sets sail, he eats the Gum-Gum fruit, allowing him to stretch every limb in his body (almost) infinitely.Luffys quirky design and actions make reading his dialogue very fun even for adult readers! I am 17 and I love One Piece, every thing about it is just genius in my opinion! There is enough going on in each panel to keep the attention of young readers as well. I am reading One Piece to my little sister, and even through the background stories and explanations, she really enjoys it!Luffy is constantly getting into trouble, and his inability to think before he acts results in comical outcomes! Other characters are constantly yelling and reprimanding Luffy, but he doesn't seem to care, he just punches when he wants!The art in One Piece is dated, but good. The manga was originally created in 1997, so the characters may seem a little too cartoony for traditional manga readers, but that is alright. Imperfections in the art MUST be forgiven due to old age.Overall, One Piece is a must read for ANY manga reader of any age, give the manga 3 volumes, then see if you like it or not. I have the Omnibus versions of 1-3, 4-6, and 7-9, and I just can't get enough! At some point though, you are going to want to buy the tankobon versions, they have better paper quality and look very slick on your bookshelf! I rate this a 5/5, the perfect read for any age

This was my grandson’s first adventure into these series of books. He feel in love with it and the love of reading. He is 12 years old and is now up to series 16-18 in these books. Once you get started you can’t stop. He loves them and I keep buying them for him.

Loved the book and love the series. I can't wait for more of the story to read.

READ FROM THE LEFT TO RIGHT***LOVED THE BOOK it was great printing i watched the show but im a manga collector its not a scam or nothing and great price i recommend get 1 book each and not 3 in 1 because the printing is better but overall 10/10 for new manga reader

I absolutely love the fact that this is got the first three books in it. That way I didn’t have to buy multiple ones to make sure this was something my children were gonna like. Also, my kids have limited shelf space in their room so anytime I can buy an anthology of something I’m gonna do it! Beautiful cover great quality amazing illustrations!

Shonen is slowly becoming an over saturated market. You get more and more series that repeat themselves and lose their spark like Nauto, and less series like Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure that are so outlandish and well written that they can still be interesting and fresh. Going into One Piece, I wondered what it would be like. The answer? A brilliant, unique adventure that sets itself apart from any series I’ve come across in just THREE volumes! Three mere volumes is all it took for me to love a Shonen other than JoJo. Join Monkey D. Luffy as he sets off to become the pirate king and secure the OnePiece- the ultimate treasure. From the writing to the artwork, OnePiece is one of a kind. Every character and expression is lively and outlandish, but equally understandable and relatable. Luffy, a boy with a rubber-like body, aspires to be like his idol. Zoro, a tri-wielding pirate, wants to keep a promise to a long lost friend. Nami, a young navigator who despises pirates, finds friends in the most unlikely of people. All these characters couldn’t exist in real life how they do in the manga, but the way they’re written makes them feel real. If you’re losing faith in the Shonen genre, get this manga and reignite your passion.

I know “One Piece” is the most sold manga of all-time, but it’s also not the absolute best.. with that being said, it’s still pretty cool, so it’s worth a shot to see if it’s for you!
