manga is one of japans main reading pieces and has recently made a huge
splash in the western country’s such as America and the Uk thanks to a
company called shonen jump they have be made for the sole purpose of taking
manga and anime they find worthy and translating/dubbing them but they
keep the tradition such as the reversed books (reading back to front) and the
art style stays the same it is just so that those not fluent in Japanese can reads
and enjoy the books

Gol D. Roger was known as the Pirate King, the strongest and most infamous
being to have sailed the Grand Line. The capture and death of Roger by the
World Government brought a change throughout the world. His last words
before his death revealed the location of the greatest treasure in the world,
One Piece. It was this revelation that brought about the Grand Age of Pirates,
men who dreamed of finding One Piece (which promises an unlimited amount
of riches and fame), and quite possibly the most coveted of titles for the
person who found it, the title of the Pirate King.
One piece is about a young pirate captain called Monkey D. Luffy

It is very clever how they have made this manga as half of the released books
have been about finding the crew and dealing with problems like thriller bark
and warter7 Etc. this stretches out the story heavily making for a long story
that has lasted over 17 years and it has gained so many fans
