One Piece, Vol. 1: Romance Dawn

This is the best anime book i've ever read and it was so fun To read it and I was sad when it ended. If you are an anime lover you might love this book, becase it has a lot of fighting in it and you might Realy like it.

This is my first real manga and while my husband and I are fans of the show and I was super excited to get this, I wasn't sure how I would like it. Aside from the newspaper funnies, Garfield books, and Poke'mon comics, I have never really delved into stuff like this. It was a little challenging reminding myself to read in the opposite direction, but I finally got the hang of it. Plot: It's pretty much like the anime so far but it showed more back story so it was still new and fresh. I liked the little fun sections like character history and how-to-draw pages. Sometimes it was a little hard to tell what was going on because there was so much happening in a panel, but overall I got the gist of it and the story itself is interesting. Zolo (Zorro) especially has an interesting back story. Setting: The overall setting of One Piece, when piracy is in it's golden age, is always fun. Characters: So far the characters are just like in the anime, though Zorro is called "Zolo" here. Not sure if I will ever be able to get over that change. Anyway, Luffy is just as funny in this, Zolo (Zorro) is his typical smartass self, and Nami is mischievous. I did like Koby a little better here. I find him super annoying in the show. Relationships: I liked seeing more of Luffy and Shank's history in this. It was also neat to see how Luffy won over Koby and Zolo (Zorro). Writing/Voice: Overall enjoyable lines, a few made me a chuckle. Ending: Made me immediately order the next book. Because while I know what happens in the show, it's a little different and I want to see it in manga form. Overall, this was a great first manga to try. Now I'm hooked! There's a ton of books in this series so I will be busy for a while. It was a different experience but since I love reading and art, I definitely enjoyed it. Being a fan of the anime helped. I ordered the next two books so hopefully I will get to them soon, too!

Got it as a gift for my boyfriend. One piece is his favorite anime he was very excited to get this.

This is a must read for any anime or manga fan. This will change your life.

I bought this one as part of the set of 25 because I am a fan of the anime and decided I wanted something to read. I am glad took the plunge and hope that they sell a second set for the same price since it saves about 30 USD. I am enjoying seeing how the drawings started out and how they have changed over the course of time. This is a fun series. I will comment, on a comment another commenter made with regards to Zoro's name being written Zolo in this series. I agree with that individual since it's written Zoro in the Japanese anime series, as well as on the translations on Crunchyroll. I have to say, come on. Zoro is a swordsman, and Zoro is so close to Zorro that it clearly should have the R instead of the L. With regards to other things that are a little 'off' thus far in my reading (I am only on volume 8 at this time), a translation of "I decline your declination" is way too out of character for Luffy. I'd be surprised if he even knew what the word declination means, so the translation of "I refuse your refusal" is a much better translation. The other issue I seem to have is that instead of a translation of Going Merry, which is what is clearly stated in the anime, the translation in this series cuts off the 'Going' part and keeps the Merry-go instead. In the original manga the ship is called, ゴーイング・メリー号, which is Going-Merry-go. I've never been too keen on how English mucks up translations and such, but the least they can do is follow the original to the closest proximity. Aside from those little gripes, I am enjoying the series. It's definitely not one for everyone, but it clearly has some good points and is popular for a reason.

I picked up One Piece, Vol. 1: Romance Dawn for my 8-year-old son since he asked for it, but it didn’t quite hold his interest. The story is fun and full of adventure, and I can see why it’s such a beloved series. The artwork is engaging, and the characters are unique and entertaining. It might just be a bit too much for younger readers to dive into right away. I still think it’s a great start to an epic series—just maybe better suited for slightly older kids or big manga fans.

Absolute peak, though I might be biased because I already read the whole manga to date lol

I love the one piece anime and reading the first volume of the manga was amazing. Didn’t know zoros name was Zolo originally either.

I was looking for good anime to read after reading one punch man so my friend recommended this and I love it 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Good manga

Amazing product, official matterial

I had a well-preserved One Piece collection, but last year I had to sell it to raise money to buy a new notebook, hard times, it wasn't an easy decision... Some time later I got better financially and started a collection again, kanzenban (3 in 1), the paper is better and has a higher cost benefit in the end. And today I decided to buy the American volume 01 to make my collection even cooler, I liked the format, the paper better than the one used here in Brazil, I just didn't like the translation "Zolo" .... my God hahaha other than that, yeah a great manga.
