The one thing that always amazes me about One Piece is that despite how long its been running, the plot is still so interesting and keeps people hooked that the series constantly keeps breaking records such as these.

One Piece becomes an even bigger monster the more time goes by. It has been a pleasure to see the series become so big without suffering the set backs that tend to plague other series.

The last two books are a disappointment tbh. Rowling should had stopped after 5. Damn her for killing off my favourite character. *shakes fist*

But yay, go One Piece. Speaking of which, I should really catch up to the manga.
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~

If only One Piece wasn't butchered by 4kids, it could have been popular in America as well... ugh, just thinking about it makes me sad. :(

Yeah! I agree. There's always something new and exciting and Oda plans his manga well. There are people who are too lazy to read OP cause they think it's too much to catch up with. Ah well... they're missing out on a lot!

Sigh... I seriously can't see what is so good about One Piece. I dropped the manga two years ago but decided to catch up few months ago just because everyone was saying how awesome were latest chapters. What a waste of time.

Nope, that is certainly not the case. I just can't really see what exactly is so good about One Piece. I understand that long-running shounens usually have a horde of fans, but 3 million copies in first printing... that's just too much.

There isn't even 300 million people in Japan (the population is around 125 million). It's unheard of for a first printing to be near 3 million, which is why this is a big deal.

I see the statistic, but being popular doesn't necessary mean it's a masterpiece.

ah sorry, its just on the cover its written 300 with a 万, which means 10,000
so 300 per 10000 means 3 million xD

@Jure: You rate it with a 3 but still read more than 500+ chapters...

I already said I dropped it a while ago but decided to catch up because everyone was saying that latest chapters are epic. I will drop the manga again when current arc ends (which will be soon I guess).

it seems you like manga's that are more seinen or involve more complicated plots... Not into comedy? or comedy adventure maybe...

and btw- people have told me to read bleach- i tried- and i only was able to read 250 chapters. I couldnt go even one chapter further- no matter how much people prodded me. I rated it a 7 at the end, because i was able to read that much- and it wasnt bad- i just didnt like it. That doesnt mean it was bad- just that it wasnt my cup of tea. If you were able to read over 500 chapters (with or without prodding and people telling you to read it), then i think it deserves more then a 3. If you were able to catch up then it deserves at least a 5. Anything below a 5 is something that you couldnt click next chapter no matter how much people told you too.

anyway- OP is awesome and i really do hope it goes on forever (or well- i wanna see the ending before i die but im 15 so i got plenty of time - and it better end before i die but not for a hellova long time :P)
Even if the story can get a little repetitive, as the characters grow, the entire arc changes to fit the new and evolved characters. It makes it interesting nonetheless :D
