In this article, we are going to cover the whole journey of One Piece manga. When did it launch, and how did it become the most selling manga worldwide?
One Piece is a Japanese-based anime written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda and animated by Toei Animations. The story revolves around Luffy, who set his aim to become Pirate King Someday. When he was young, he grew in the Dadaan family alongside his two brother-like friends, Ace and Sabo. They all trained under Vice-Admiral Garp on East Blue. When he was 17, he set his journey to the sea and made an excellent crew along the way. So this was the brief synopsis of the series, One Piece. Now let’s get back to our main topic.
When Did One Piece Manga Start?
One Piece manga started back on 22 July 1997 in Shonen Jump. Even the writer himself didn’t think of the success this manga would earn in the next couple of years. Since then, the manga is continued with a legacy and recently surpassed the 1030+ chapters record. The manga has been sold at least 490 million* copies worldwide. This record is still unbeatable and achieving success as the years pass.

Our Expectations With The Movie:
I can’t wait to see How Shanks Fights? – Fans in 1997 and 2021
Our wait to see Shanks with the closest than ever is going to end soon. Eiichiro Oda Sensei and Toei Animation are all set to release a new One Piece film, titled One Piece Red is going to hit Cinemas on 6 August 2022. The movie will be based on Shanks but and we have already covered a detailed article on this topic. You can read it from here.
Moreover, we personally think that One Piece Red will surpass every other anime film out there, including Mugen Train, because fans have waited for 20+ years to know about this character, and now finally, he is going to make a move. If production and distribution are done right by the officials, this movie will break all the existing records and set the new story of glory in anime archives. We believe that you will be as excited as us for this movie, so our appeal is, please support the creators and don’t watch the film with Piracy. Go to your nearest Cinemahalls, and enjoy the show to the fullest. If you somehow won’t be able to visit the movie hall, the movie will definitely make its appearance on Legal streaming sites. So please watch from there.
