VIZ Pop Culture Focus: One Piece

The bestselling manga in the world!

By Mark De Vera July 05, 2016

Between Anime Expo and San Diego Comic Con, July is the month of pop culture! To celebrate July as the pop culture month we at VIZ Media want to call out a few series that we consider to be pop culture powerhouses as the month goes by!

What better series to kick off our pop culture celebration than One Piece? When thinking over what the bestselling manga series in the world may be some fans may suspect that it is Dragon Ball, arguably the most well known manga and anime property worldwide. Others may assume it's Naruto, a series which has been one of the biggest pop culture sensations in the Western world. However, the actual bestselling manga series is One Piece, the quirky pirate manga from the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump that has managed to sell over 350 million copies in print!

One Piece is the story of Monkey D. Luffy, who dreamed of becoming King of the Pirates. His life changed when he accidentally gained the power to stretch like rubber…at the cost of never being able to swim again! Years, later, Luffy sets off in search of the "One Piece," said to be the greatest treasure in the world...

If you have yet to read the One Piece manga you are in for a treat. There are volumes by the dozen filled with action, suspense, comedy and heartfelt moments waiting to be experienced from the pages of this wonderful manga.
