How's that for awesome.
they havent reached the recent volumes yet...
i'd like to have arc with the 'War' in my collection)
Keep up the great work Viz!
Since they almost finish Enis Lubby Arc they should also speed up the releases of the Art-Books
I just don't get it.
BTW, that picture reminded me of xxxHolic.
The drawing style and clothing they wear.
you got the point
And people in US don't have taste for good manga,I mean it!OP just should rule the top 5!
ninjas are just more intriging then pirates for most occidental person
but seriously tho the only thing ninja i have seen people in naruto do is throw shuriken and do hand signs...
or maybe its the emo stuff..
but One piece is the most populor in japan for a reason :)
ITS AWESOMELY EPIC
ps. ecchi is great
I can't wait for the future volume releases!
in the past years 2009 & below,OP have slow releases,
first volumes are worse,1 volume per month
question:
why VIZ is only starting now year 2010
LOL at the One Piece fans celebrating consider it's not even in the top rather bottom of the list, while volumes 28-38 has never been ranked, it'll be gone by next week
@KayalhawK: Something similar happened to me as well. At first I was a huge Bleach fan when I read all of its chapters that were released at that time some time ago. Then I became a Naruto fan when I caught up to it after VIZ's second skip. When VIZ announced that One Piece was going to have a huge skip, I caught up to it as well. It took me about a month to do so but it was worth it. Now One Piece is my favorite shounen manga.
Now that I think about it, why is Yugioh R! on second place? Is yugioh R! much better than the original Yugioh! manga series?
I'm jealous... in Brazil OP isn't published anymore T~T
Super~~~~~~~~~!
MAMA ISH SHO PROUWD!!!
Americans really have some bad tastes though. Rosario+Vampire and Yugioh, srsly?
And lol @ butthurt Bleachfan.
:D OP FTW
