Manga: No New Chapter + KND/One Piece Fanart

No Chapter? No Problem! Pick up One Piece volumes from Viz to read the adventure!

Out of respect for the Obon Festival in Japan, there will be no Weekly Shonen Jump which means no new One Piece chapter. Obon is a three day holiday to honor the departed spirits of dead relatives. Many at this time in Japan celebrate the holiday by holding a family reunion and performing rituals that are part of this festival which include cleaning the graves of dead loved ones.

So to help you with your lack of One Piece this week, I thought I would share this little gem that I found in the September edition of Shonen Jump magazine. Apparently One Piece fans can be anybody including famous cartoonists. Check after the break for the full scanned version of this cool fanart.

Manga: State of the series - Worth the wait?

One Piece More: Down Goes 2010

We are now at that time of the year where things are coming to a close. Another year is about to come to an end and while some part of it has sucked, things for One Piece has been nothing but good. Many great things have happen in both the anime and manga, Japanese and American, and lastly with the fans. Now just like many other blogs I guess we are going to be cliche and try to take a look at some of the things that we like concerning One Piece that has happen this year. Meh...We here try not to do what all the other blogs do but then again who am I trying to kid? haha

One Piece More: Entering the 'New Era'

I was planning to hold off with doing More pieces until I get caught up with all the other things like the Anime Matsuri post, interviews with Mike Mcfarland and Leah Clark and Females in Anime. Still some awesome news has been coming down the pipe about One Piece in the last twenty four hours that I just can't hold my excitement. I don't really do news reports and junk like that but whatever. This is an exception. haha

One Piece More: Sogeking says, "Real Men Can Cry Too"

Do you know why I like Sogeking? I don't know really. Maybe because he is like Batman and I like Batman. Maybe because he is Usopp? Both Batman and Sogeking are masked heroes that fight for good and are awesome beyond belief. They have so many cool gadgets. To tell the truth they are just awesome. If anything then Usopp is the Bruce Wayne of the One Piece world minus the high tech gadgets. Or the money. Or the car. Or the secret identity. Or...Well you get the point. They are just awesome people with mask!

One Piece More: Shonen Jump Into the Manga!

Well I was hoping that my first post of the year would be of something like the anime of manga but really there isn't much in the One Piece world right now concerning the anime and manga. Well that last part is a lie. There is plenty happening in the manga side which is where this post is mostly going to focus. I'll go into other things but really I let you guys read on.

Also if you haven't found out. There is no new One Piece chapter this week from Japan. Weekly Jump is still on break this week so that means Oda, Luffy and the rest of the One Piece crew will be resting up and relaxing. So we will have to wait to see what happen to the rest of our favorite band of pirates and Marines.

Then the anime is back on starting today starting off right where it stopped two weeks ago. Just got done watching it before this post and it was a great episode! Expect an anime post to be up later.
