One Piece is, by far, the best shounen out there.The only problem is that Oda-sensei got carried away and wrote way more chapters than necessary, which is not really bad for those who are catching up, as there's plenty of content to read. Almost nothing feels like a filler. 3f2n6i

Rachel = Griffith: walking the path of corruption to reach her goals;
25th Baam = Guts: would love a calm life, but keeps getting dragged into sh*t for trying to reach Rachel, even after she declares her disdain for him.

Problems with this series:

• The history drags on;
• The chapters were downsized from 60 pages to 13 (?!); *
• One of the "extra" characters got "author's pet" status for more than 40 (!!!) chapters;

• Everyone is "snarky" (well, thats a...

If you don't have anything against tons of silliness, plus over the top "fan-service" situations, then this manga comes as a must read. What are you waiting for? Start reading it! Move your... 4SS!

The insufferable female lead is the biggest downside for most of this ride, forgettable side characters being the minor one. The narrative is pretty solid, and the "sidequests" are not that boring.
