One Piece: Build a crew on your shelf

Machine translation; original text in Italian.
Work created by Eiichiro Oda
The origins
One Piece debuts on Weekly Shonen Jump in 1997. Monkey D. Luffy wants to become the Pirate King and sets off in search of the treasure that gives the series its name. The powers that make his body elastic come at a price: he cannot swim. The official presentation of the publisher VIZ offers this essential premise, enough to understand the contrast between the desire for the sea and a very concrete limit.
The group before the single piece
A collection dedicated to One Piece can be thought of as a crew. It doesn't have to be complete to tell something: two characters can already suggest a meeting or a promise. Try to choose a narrative thread and leave room for future readings. It is a personal editorial choice, not a value ranking.
A project that can grow
Check space, height and style of objects before building a group. The same series can appear in lines with different proportions. For a first purchase, choose a character that is important to you and keep the edition data: they will be useful for subsequent comparisons. The cards below allow you to verify the details without turning a reading memory into a commercial promise.
