About the author
Eiichiro Oda began his manga career in 1992 at the age of 17, when his one-shot cowboy manga Wanted! won second place in the coveted Tezuka manga awards. Oda went on to work as an assistant to some of the biggest manga artists in the industry, including Nobuhiro Watsuki, before winning the Hop Step Award for new artists. His pirate adventure One Piece, which debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in 1997, quickly became one of the most popular manga in Japan.

Plot:
It's pretty much like the anime so far but it showed more back story so it was still new and fresh. I liked the little fun sections like character history and how-to-draw pages. Sometimes it was a little hard to tell what was going on because there was so much happening in a panel, but overall I got the gist of it and the story itself is interesting. Zolo (Zorro) especially has an interesting back story.
Setting:
The overall setting of One Piece, when piracy is in it's golden age, is always fun.
Characters:
So far the characters are just like in the anime, though Zorro is called "Zolo" here. Not sure if I will ever be able to get over that change.
Anyway, Luffy is just as funny in this, Zolo (Zorro) is his typical smartass self, and Nami is mischievous. I did like Koby a little better here. I find him super annoying in the show.
Relationships:
I liked seeing more of Luffy and Shank's history in this.
It was also neat to see how Luffy won over Koby and Zolo (Zorro).
Writing/Voice:
Overall enjoyable lines, a few made me a chuckle.
Ending:
Made me immediately order the next book. Because while I know what happens in the show, it's a little different and I want to see it in manga form.
Overall, this was a great first manga to try. Now I'm hooked! There's a ton of books in this series so I will be busy for a while. It was a different experience but since I love reading and art, I definitely enjoyed it. Being a fan of the anime helped. I ordered the next two books so hopefully I will get to them soon, too!

Some time later I got better financially and started a collection again, kanzenban (3 in 1), the paper is better and has a higher cost benefit in the end.
And today I decided to buy the American volume 01 to make my collection even cooler, I liked the format, the paper better than the one used here in Brazil, I just didn't like the translation "Zolo" .... my God hahaha other than that, yeah a great manga.
