![]() ![]() ![]() Luffy is the typical Shonen protagonist - dumb, gluttonous, impulsive etc. I sometimes find it hard to fully grasp fight choreography in certain mangas, but it's safe to say that I have never had that problem with One Piece. The way Oda depicts action already bears his trademark flowing, impactful visual style, with impressive structure from panel to panel, which makes action scenes a real treat to read. The art style, although less elaborate than what it would evolve into in later arcs, is clean (I'm looking at you Togashi) and detailed. The character art is a bit lacking, but is eventually much improved upon. The design of the characters was slightly different from their post-time skip selves. It was nostalgic to revisit the story in this form. On another note, knowing what happens further on in the story in no way dampened my enjoyment of Romance Dawn. In hindsight, it seems like an odd call from the producers at Toei, though I had no grievances at first viewing, and still don't now. The main difference between the manga and the anime at this point is that the latter did not start off from Luffy's childhood, instead electing to introduce us to Koby first. It more than compares favorably to the anime. ![]() It's the first time I'm reading the first volume of One Piece. ![]() ![]() ![]() Agnieszka Grochowska and Grzegorz Damięcki, known from a different Polish adaptation of a Harlan Coben book, The Woods, will also appear in this.
