According to Japanese tracking company Oricon, who tracks the physical releases of media in Japan, with the release of the historic 100th volume of the One Piece manga, all 100 volumes have physically sold 1 million copies according to the platform, all well as had 50 of the last 51 volumes debut at 1st place on the manga ranking charts, with only JUJUTSU KAISEN's 16th volume ranking above One Piece's 99th volume earlier this year.

Another Oricon record that One Piece currently holds is that it is the only series to have a volume debut at 1st place every year since tracking started 14 years ago, with Attack on Titan coming up second with a volume debuting at number one over 11 years.

I knew it was hugely popular but not this popular. o.O

That's a lot of money. The goat shonen manga doing what other shonen manga can't.

Greatest series of all-time.

It's not even just a volume thing, as this demonstrates.

Now release bigger format volumes (like in JUMP) please and you'd have another 100 more sold volumes just from me 😆 Already own the regular volumes 1-70 but I really don't like reading pocket sized volumes anymore.

Deserved in every possible way. Week to week there's never been any fiction my friends and I discuss and speculate more about than One Piece.
Fantastic news.

Now if only the current arc didn't suck as much as it does.
…and thread derailed.

But no, seriously, why does it suck? It has to be one of the best arcs in the last decade, nearing Marineford levels depending on how Oda sticks the landing. The series wide build-up to it, the dozens of interweaving stories and histories coming together, the major twist was great, heart wrenching/series-defining flashback with Oden, every character has gotten a major combat moment and the arc isn't even over yet, the list goes on… this arc to me is what One Piece is best at with very few lulls to think of.

So I feel like this is one of the few arcs you might want to substantiate your opinion with more than a drive-by…

It's kind of tragic that One Piece debuted at #1 for every volume except for #99. So close, yet so far...

Is it worth starting the English anime from episode 1? Does it still hold up?
