The cake is a lie
I figured this fit here better than in "The Arts", since One Piece is both an anime and a manga.
Any other people here like One Piece? When I first saw pictures of it I avoided it like the plague; the style looked totally unlikeable, and it looked like a typical shonen series with nothing but the same old fights and enemies and about as much storyline as a rock.
A friend of mine had been badgering me for years to pick it up, and finally one day when I was in the book store I did. I promptly became hooked by the lovable characters, wonderful characterization, and interesting storyline and read every volume that was out in the US, then got online to read every volume that was out in Japan. This took me several months. And now I still wait for the new chapters to be scanlated each week.
What are your favorite characters? How far have you read/watched into the series? Do you like the anime or manga more?
