The Japan Anniversary Association has declared that the 22nd of July is recognised as “One Piece Day” since 2017. As such, here is the start of a 30 day journey answering 30 One Piece Questions, as I am a fan of the franchise.
While the original questions are asked with the anime in mind, they can easily be adapted for the manga as well. I shall personally be answering for both the anime and manga where I can. I hope you will find this fun and join me on this little adventure.
Why did I start watching the One Piece anime?
I resisted starting on the One Piece journey for so long. However, my brother pestered me trying to get me to watch the anime. I eventually caved in to his persistence and watched maybe 50 episodes before calling it quits. After a while, I got involved with the people over at SleepingGeeks and, after reading the One Piece focused posts, my curiosity was piqued once again. However, like my first attempt, I did not get too far into the anime before I lost interest once again.
It was on my third attempt at the anime that I decided to actually put in the effort and invest my time. I took it on with my 5-a-day policy for long-running anime. It took a few months, but I had done it. I had caught up. Now I watch, wait, let two or three months go by, and then catch up in a binge-watch session.
One Piece is available on Crunchroll and is up to date.
Why did I start reading the One Piece manga?
II caught up on the anime, mid-arc. After investing my time in over 800 episodes, I figured I may as well dive into the manga. I did this in two ways. I found what chapter the manga had left off at and started there. I wanted to know what happened next. I am not the most patient of people.
Once I decided to let the anime get ahead, I started the manga from chapter one and worked my way through in a massive binge reading. I am a really fast reader and daily start and catch up on many manga titles.
One Piece is available on the Shounen Jump app on Apple and Android.
Now I am curious, why did you start watching and/or reading One Piece? I look forward to your answer (^w^)

How many volumes of the manga have you made it through so far?
I’m about 50 chapters behind, so I’m not sure how many volumes that is
So you must be reading it chapter by chapter and not by the tankouban (spelling?).
Do you find it a different experience reading by the chapter instead of by the book?
Yea chapter by chapter (^w^) I am used to reading chapter by chapter online. I do enjoy reading volumes but they not easy to get for me
Gotcha.
Well, good luck and I hope you keep enjoying it. I just started one piece (again) and am hoping I can power through it, albeit rather slowly. How many chapters did you read a month when you were catching up?
Sorry for being so nosy, but I am trying to find a good groove for me and manga reading so I can do it long term without burning out.
No prob and when I first started, 5 a day. I could get through them on my lunch break so was a good pace for me – and still meant I could carry on with my other series too
Thanks again.
