One piece is one of the most well thought manga i have ever seen!

One piece does a great job in delivering the manga to all audience in my opinion. As an evidence, one piece become the highest grossing manga in the world. As a shonen story, one piece gives a dream, fulfillment, and enjoyment to every audience as it packs a lot of funny, emotional, and cool epic actions. One piece also shows a diverse backgrounds (places) and characters of the people and places (each people are different and some of them have unique personality).

In the other sides, while not emphasized, one piece also delivers deep knowledge of morale and some dark tragedies (Coup d'etat, country's destruction, slavery, racism, revenge , corrupt people, tyranny, black market, underworld, some dark secret in maintaining the peace, etc). Some children and people may not notice this while reading one piece; However, as the older and knowledgeable the reader get, the reader will view one piece differently when rereading it once again.

Some people believe that the characters do not show a lot of character building. However, I believe this is true and a right choice from the author, as, in fact, changing character is an actual hard thing to do in real world (in majority of people). While some persona may change, there are always some things that will stick with the characters. Moreover, all the main crews are selected few who are especially made to be unique and important.

I also really like that the main protagonist itself is like a child and think simply. The main protagonist is stubborn and reckless, but also pure. While it may look so shonen-ish, but there is more from the main protagonist action when he is always protecting his crew.

As for the art, while not the best in the world, the author has done splendid jobs. The author is able to draw lots of character in every panels within one week. To add up, the art is also amazing, and it gets better (Compare the first volume with the newly out volume). Even the panelings are wonderfully well thought, making people get excited when every chapter has finished.

Lastly, i would like to mention that the plot of one piece has actually been decided since the beginning of the series. While some things may be added or changed, the main plot will always still be the same.

I can darely say that all the story, panels, flow, and dialogue, even in tiny bit, have been carefully thought by the author!
