Eh, good enough. I guess this is what we have to pay for having the epic volume 57 cover.

Volume 60 cover.

They pretty much covered up half of Dadan's mouth in this one.
Oh, well...

Also, in today's installment of One Piece Week, there's a segment focused on the SH's training.

Really... they went with kowtow? I get that that's what it is, but pretty sure most kids won't know what that means. They could've just used grovel or even just bow.

I know I'm super late, but are there any edits/changes in Impel Down and Amazon Lily arc(besides character names)? Sorry if there's a post I overlooked that answers this question

[Crossword]

No, no edits as far as I'm aware of.

I got Vol. 58 in the mail today. I remember when the volume first came out, it was noted that I think two of the page spreads were shrunk a little bit for the volumes, so I had expected only those two to be letterboxed, but it appears that that happened to every spread in the book. I wonder if that's the new standard for Oda's pagespreads or something.

Hmm, Germany got the shrunken down version, too, but 59 went back to normal, so I'd assume Shueshia just gave out the unfixed, shrunk version of 58 to foreign publishers.

[MasterKingJC]

Now, this is really neat!

Wow, it's pretty surreal to see that spread on an official English site already, given that it's still pretty new.

[Sniper King]

I broke out my old flash drive just to get that.

*crosses fingers it shows up as a poster on the magazine... maybe not.. but hoping for a maybe.. yeah.. maybe*

I wonder if there will be a one piece box set in the future

[Venomous Warden]

Looks like volume 58 managed to make lucky number 7 in the New York Times best seller list.

Good to see it up there for sure, looks like sailor moon dominated though

Viz did a little rundown of all the current sagas to date.

I asked Alexis Kirsch about that on Twitter and he said volume 58 was printed before they moved the dates up.

Ohh, so that explains it. Thank you x)

[FrankyCentaur]

Just in case no one posted it here, it looks like the volumes are actually getting another "speed up" of sorts.

Simon and Schuster seems to always get their information before everywhere else, and a few days ago the volumes dates were changed. So 60 in Jan, 61 in March, and 62 in May. Viz already changed the dates of the volumes once, so I guess they did it a second time? Not 100% legit, but like 99%.

[MasterKingJC]

If this turns out to be accurate, then that we'll be getting Volumes 60, 61, and 62 three months earlier than expected.
I'm not going to get my hopes up, but this is really interesting news.

How did viz deal with the little slip-up between Kuma and Rayleigh?
