This iconic anime protagonist sets out with a bold dream of becoming the Pirate King, set against a sprawling, colorful world full of pirates and anything else Oda can dream up. There's a reason, after all, that One Piece has remained at the top of the shounen hierarchy for so long, often receiving higher praise than other classics such as Narutoand Bleach. If this doesn't sound like your cup of tea, that doesn't mean you should completely discount the series. It's a shounen manga, meaning it's aimed at a young male audience, and it champions everything readers have come to expect from the genre: action-packed stories, exciting fight scenes, wholesome messages, fanservice, etc.
One Piece is adapted from Eiichiro Oda's award-winning manga, serialized in Weekly Shounen Jump since 1997.
