REGULAR SHOW TROUNCES ANY ANIME. PEAK FICTION

We protect other species because humans themselves are lonely creatures. We protect the environment because humans themselves don’t want to go extinct. What drives us is simply self-gratification. But I think that’s fine, and that it’s really all there is to it. There’s no point in despising humans by human standards. That’s right. So in the end, it’s hypocritical for us to love Earth without loving ourselves.

If you want to take it slow just read 1 arc per week or a third/half of an arc per week. Limiting yourself to 3-4 chapters per week sounds like a dreadful experience.

Another long running manga that's worth getting into is Kingdom.

Thank you so much! and yeah I may do an arc at a time

Do one volume a week.3-4 chapters is too small IMO. One volume of One piece is 10 or 11 chapters.

When is the timeskip and I trust your judgement, is it worth reading?

It starts at chapter 597 or 598. It's just a continuation of the story where the straw hats reunite two years after a big event. And yes it is worth reading and most people would agree with that sentiment.

Okay cool, thanks! Also you have read and seen a lot of stuff, any suggestions for a beginner based off my list? Preferably manga but anime is good also.

So I just started One Piece and while I can normally read a 100 chapter manga in a few days, I want one I can savor so I'm planning on only reading 3-4 chapters a week.

Does anyone have any advice for getting the best experience out of this manga, I'm planning on reading it through college and hopefully finishing it before I graduate.

Does anyone have any other mangas they would recommend reading as well as this/

oh wow, I actually read all of One Piece in one month in like the final few weeks of a college class (an upper level practical statistics class, that well, just covered everything I learned in introduction statistics, just applied to real data sets). 3 to 4 chapters is so glacial...I would actually try to commit at a minimum of a volume a week, which is still over 100 weeks of reading. (2 years)

To get the best experiences, please read official versions or at least the highest quality version you can get...when I read it, I read some terrible quality (image quality) images and it was gross, going to the viz version was incredible on just Image Quality alone. Dont let bad image quality ruin Odas art lol.

I wanted to suggest CSM because that's a good gateway manga but you're already reading it. I see that you haven't read Fujimoto's one-shots: Look back and Sayonara Eri so that might be something you might like.

Just go with the flow. Don't try and set a defined set of chapters you want to read daily or weekly.

The way I did it, I just read what I wanted to and when I was done, I was done. On some days, it would be a chapter or two. On other days when I found the material more engaging I would read 10, 20 chapters etc. I think i devoured Marineford and post Marineford in like a day, because it was that good. So just go with the flow, some sections are bound to grip you more than others and you'll just want to read alot of it.

Just enjoy the manga and go at your own pace, it's a long but worthwhile experience.

Also don't feel the need to purposefully go slow to savor it and not complete it. One Piece is currently on its final saga and there is no better time to catch up. Enjoy!

Read like 5 volumes worth of chapters per day and you are good to go
Reading 4 chaps per week is a bad idea and so is reading 100+ chaps per day (i did that)

Thats a solid advice as well
Adding to this comment, jojo is another good long running series that you ahould get into

Fairy Tail Manga it´s a cool manga to read it´s fun & the arc´s pacing & Fights are also fast
While it is Power of Friendship heavy it is also darker compared to the Anime they censored it a lot
the series is also known for many people *One Piece with Magic*

Fairy Tail and One Piece are masterpieces!! in my opinion
Edens Zero are also known *One Piece in Space*
