I happened to walk in my younger brother’s room many days ago. Inside his room stood a huge bookshelf full of comic books, ALL of them were Japanese ones. I was just slacking so couldn’t help having a look at them. I could see a row of Japanese manga series named “One Piece” on the highest shelf. Its name sounded not fun at all. Once I was willing to skip them and keep looking at the rest on the shelf, I recalled my brother’s words which I had not really believed, “This is the greatest and funniest comic book ever”, said my bro. Then, I took the Vol. 1 of One Piece and found a comfortable corner for myself reading ONCE PIECE! I blasted out of laugh just on the first page! Geez, SUPER FUNNY! (Sorry bro for not believing you at first). Once Piece is the story about pirates, main characters are a group of the pirates who have been sailing in a very big ocean with their own hopes and goals. MonKey D. Luffy is a straw hat pirate and a captain, he is really innocent and retarded you can’t imagine. He’s brave, tough, caring, funny and have been dreaming of being the king of the pirates. Luffy and his crews have been traveling through Grandline along with adventures.You have to read it, its jokes are really funny, it was amazing that they could come up with those jokes. I don’t know if English version is as great as the Thai one. (It was translated in many languages; Thai, Portuguese, Korean, Chinese, English, Swedish, Italian, French, German and Chinese as I can remember and if I’m not mistaken). I’ve reached Vol. 41 (out of 45) so far and when I was reading, I just couldn’t put it down even if bed was beckoning.I’m not into Japanese manga at all but Once Piece is just PERFECT, it makes you feel you are being in the adventures. When the story is fun, you laugh, when it’s sad, you will even cry (Yes i did cry) Oh, it was incredible and embarrassing that i cried for the COMIC BOOK!!!
