One Piece: East Blue 10-11-12 Paperback – May 4, 2010

I’m collecting/reading the series for the first time and the Omni are the way to go! Not only do I get to enjoy the story more fully, since I can just continue to read when a volume ends, but these save space on the bookshelf by A LOT.They have a good thickness to them and are very light. Makes for an easy travel book to put in your bag. Really like that it breaks up the story arcs nicely too. It’s easy to see where I am in the story when I look at them on the bookshelf.They look awesome, and kinda impressive, on display and people comment on them all the time when looking over the bookcase.As far as the reading experience goes, its epic. The Manga is better than the Anime here for different reasons than you may expect. Sometimes the Anime expands thing the artistic style of the Manga leaves almost abstract, but it’s clear to see why this has become one of the most popular stories in the genre. Those abstract moments are well planned to add emotion and curiosity to the readers experience. The writing is hilarious, masterfully crafted, and shows a whole other side to our Straw Hat Hero. Yeah, he’s still foolishly carefree, but it’s clear in the Manga that Luffy is actually really intelligent.There’s a lot to explore in the world of One Piece, but you won’t regret joining the crew!

The dialogue is, of course, different from the original. The images are right on! I'm the type of person who likes a fat book! Feels good to say it too! And while enjoying a low priced treasure of awesomeness, I began to get ideas. Ideas of how a good story(an epic) should continually change. The end of East Blue brings a time and a place where the crew faces stronger opponents and situations that require a sudden change when the old ways no longer work. Things get harder, and it becomes obvious that there is a need to get stronger when you start to go up against the best, especially when you really that the best is no longer just you. It's a type of story that really makes you question if you believe things only when it's easy to believe or if you're willing to defend them when they come under attack. When two ways of thinking cannot coexist, Is violence the only way to defend what is precious to you, against those who care only for themselves? It' really a hidden question of morality and a sense of self-discovery. Or maybe I'm just seeing what I want to see. It's great when a simple story gets you to question everything else. It's also pretty cool, when the story still going after 13 years. If you know One Piece, you know what I mean, If you don't then you have a choice to make. Enjoy it or don't.One Piece: East Blue 10-11-12 starts with Arlong and Luffy's fight and ends in whiskey peak whith the crew about to be attacked in their sleep.

This is the most convenient way to get all of the manga for your collection

great

Sometimes it is hard to find a book or series that is especially appealing to boys. Graphic novels are a great way to get boys hooked on reading. This series does just that. This series is very popular with second-fourth grade boys.

Good product, delivered in good condition as promised for a birthday present... Grandson was very pleased.

One Piece: East Blue 10-11-12*WARNING:Two things. One, I have not read the first 6 volumes of the manga though I have seen the anime through the corresponding stories. As I get the first two volumes, I will add them. Two, I know these are three separate volumes and I would usually break them up into their corresponding separate books. However, as this is the only way I've read them; I will treat them as the ones I'm use to.*The Gush*Volume 10-part of 11 concludes the Truth about Nami story while the rest of 11 and 12 follows our heroes to 'Rogue Town' (or Logue Town if you watch the Anime) and onto the GRAND LINE!Much of what I stated for the 3-in-1 volume before applies to this volume as well. The writing and the drawings are phenomenal and the characters engaging and very human. There are plenty of battle scenes for those who want to see action, there are new places to be explored, old enemies return to have their revenge, new nemeses come into play, and new questions that have no answer in sight are laid out in front of you. A wonderful but frustrating set of volumes as the questions continue to pile up and the Grand Line seems to be the place to find them. However long that will take.I rated this a bit higher then the other because the sections of the stories within this volume have some of the best flow, explanations, new characters, and plot development I've seen so far.What little of the Grand Line we see in this just makes me more excited to see this wonderful but scary place that has been built up as we traveled the East Blue.*The Rant*My rant from the previous review holds true here. Very little else here, as this is a Right to Left read book, and the 3-in-1 is a money saver when you compare to buying 3 separate volumes.*Conclusion*If you've read this far, this volume will not make you sorry you have. Instead, it merely pushes you to pick up the next one because we're left with a cliff hanger. This is a fun series with insightful information and thought provoking plots. One of the great manga series

I'm happy with this story. I rather read it and base my imagination on the drawings then watch it on TV.
