Available now? Must be an mistake.
It's a mistake as in the page isn't really up yet, they'll put it up when the volume comes out.

Anyone know what 22's release date is now?

This says September 1st.
What can I say? Thumbs up. That should take us all the way up to Vol. 53. Awesome.
Here, take my wallet Viz! Just eat the damn thing, you beast! Or would my soul be more succulent?
Ah, that's very handy.
…Perhaps in the future, I should explore the site more before I ask any questions
Here, take my wallet Viz! Just eat the damn thing, you beast! Or would my soul be more succulent?
I wonder if they'll like the souls gift wrapped.
Aah, this is wonderful … the only sour note for me however ... is that I might not have a job by the time this all starts. Ffffack.
Sweet, sweet glory.
To be honest, I am not excited as I should be. Something about the translation still just urks me.
:starts setting money aside:
$40 worth of OP per month… I rarely spend $40 per month on manga entirely, and I follow several series.
Any expectations on vendor bundling? I'd expect to see some vendors saying "all five volumes for 30 bucks" or something.
It's about time that this happens. We've waited long enough.
I always thought One Piece would cause me to go broke but I just figured, "Hey as long as I avoid gettin' into the PoPs and stuff like that I'll be fine."
I hate it when I'm wrong
Anywho, looks like an alright breakdown.
January will get us to mid Skypiea
February will get us a few chapters from ending the Davy Back arc
March will end with…my birthday as always. Oh you mean One Piece? Yeah it'll end with the introduction of Sogeking. (Awesome cliff hanger imo)
April ends with Kaku's defeat and some of Luffy vs. Lucci
May ends with the begining of Oz vs. Straw Hats
Then of course June brings us up to speed and ends right before the begining of Impel Down.
Some awkward cut offs sure, (except March), but I'm far more than content with this speed up.
I hope by june we will be at 543
Whoah, Whoah, Whoah !
Oh My Merry F**kin' Men !
Speed Up Schedule !?!?
Yehoo, thank goodness !
Now if only they'd stop with the dialog editing… and Zolo...
And with all the religious stuff they've changed ("Zoro, do you believe in god?") I wonder how the heck they're gonna do Skypiea
YES.
Viz just made the entire nation of fanboys poop their pants in happiness.

Yeah and Impel Down too !
They annouced a speed up starting January 2010 through June, five per month. Here's their promotional website. They'll start printing Impel Down chapters in the January issue.
Looks like they're doing an english version of the Japanese website.
This is awesome news! Can't wait! ^^
By the way, thanks for the info! ^^
yes YES YES!!! I am the happiest man alive right now! since I purchased that first One Piece manga volume way back when I was always so sad that it only got a volume released every 4 months… we fought bravely for a while, and I was so happy that the speed up would probably get us a flood of manga....but this...THIS IS TRULY A FLOOD INDEED THAT WOULD MAKE THE LIKES OF NOAH HIMSELF GREEN WITH ENVY! 5 VOLUMES A MONTH!... I never thought I'd see the day. I've been collecting these volumes for years and I'd never thought I would live long enough to own these volumes in my hands...I really don't believe it...I really don't believe this is happening...it truly is like a dream come true...that's how happy I am; it feels like a had a really awesome dream and it's coming true...I am so happy I want to cry. I'm so happy this series is getting the boost it deserves...what a giant leap in One Piece history that we have been fighting for forever.
I Just hope this will affect the UK, and that they will takee notice of the Speed Up and order in the new Volumes as they come out, instead of getting them in at the current pace …
That's insane. Crazy fast. I know it's a ridiculous amount of manga, but hey, I'm not complaining. At least, I hope I'm not. Because I'm still having a difficult time trying to wrap my mind around this @.@

There's no need for anyone to complain about OP not being popular in America anymore. nods Now! I wonder if they're going to release some special edition magazine like they did for Naruto. You know, with info on the series, posters, etc. That'd be nice. Particularly the posters. ^_^
Good thing I am not going to start until volume 38. I will keep collecting from there.

I mean, the skys the limit dude! this is a flood FASTER than Narutos! I mean, today when I went to Barnes & Noble and Borders to look for One Piece 21, I was sickened to see just 1 of each volume and it was surrounded by a monstrous number of Naruto books. now in a few months time when I go to my bookstore, my heart will be filled with pride when I see the massive amount of One Piece volumes that will drown out what will seem like a puny amount of Naruto volumes. it's obvious Viz has faith in this amazing series since they are doing this. popularity will rise in this great series and it may even beat Naruto and grab the rightful spot of #1 like it has in Japan! maybe in the near future we can even see the Funi dub on TV! I am sure of one thing though, the popularity of One Piece will exponentially increase and it will finally get the recognition it deserves in America!!
Great news. Cannot wait to star picking up all those volumes, but damn that's gonna be a lot of cash.
Mugiwara Mikey!!! Are You Here!?

it'll be worth it man! just do it at a pace well suited for you…we need to show Viz that what they did was worth it and that we appreciate it! everyone needs to buy these!

Yea just maybe.

haha no you're right, I'll try to chill out…but like you said, I'm truly ecstatic!

Yeah, maybe you shouldn't ask this type of thing in the middle of a topic, though. XD
Anyway, like I've said elsewhere, great news.

no you're my nakama…we need to hear this news together!
HELLZ YEAH!
Now to buy the rest of the manga. I own 1, 7, 11, 12, 13, and 18…
This seriously is the greatest!
This is great news, I have each volume 1-21 and all the boxsets by FUNimation. I'm going to need a new shelf for all the One Piece merchandise I'm going to have by da end of next year!!!
this is best news ive ever heard concerning one piece!
-keeps throwing money at One Piece- WHEN WILL YOU YOUR HUNGER BE SATISFIED? DX
First Funi wants to eat my wallet now viz too! Well since I have no job -pulls out the saw- Which arm and leg do you want now?
Now if only they'd stop with the dialog editing… and Zolo...
And with all the religious stuff they've changed ("Zoro, do you believe in god?") I wonder how the heck they're gonna do Skypiea
Actually I don't believe they'll edit all that religious stuff out. After all, if you look at the past volumes, they have said God and religious stuff a lot.
EDIT: This means for the next three issues there will only be two chapters of One Piece until December when the January 2010 issue comes out.
I…don't know what to say. Too happy for words right now.
I really just want to go over to wherever VIZ headquarters is and give each and every person there a hug, but something tells me I'll get carted off the premises before I'm done.
Pessimistic mode activated: I wonder how this will get screwed up?
I just got a gut feeling that we won't be seeing "God Eneru" in the Viz Manga.

is it bad that, after the rainbows and sunshine had faded, this is exactly where my mind first strayed as well? I'll at least take comfort knowing i'm not alone.
Thus far, i can't think of a way this could be altered or messed with, like the simulcast, but i can't help but have an uneasiness in the waaaaaaaaaaay back of my mind. I'm sure by January (what an awesome birthday month for me this year) the feeling'll have all but dissipated…
As far as, VIZ only tones down certain terms, not thematic elements. I don't think VIZ is gonna cut out the religious references, but if they hear enough from fans . . .
I mean that's one of the reasons we're getting this speed-up.

I'm going with a warehouse fire of some kind or initial sales aren't what viz hoped for so they cancel the whole thing.
I could use some fluffy bunny rainbows right about now.

We need to flood their E-mail inboxes with "DOWN WITH ZOLO" E-mails.
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice to hear about this. I'm going to get some of them when they come out. Since I really just want to get Thriller Bark and Shabody Archpeligo right away. But I'm planning to get them all sooner or later.
I Just hope this will affect the UK, and that they will takee notice of the Speed Up and order in the new Volumes as they come out, instead of getting them in at the current pace …
It should do, I don't see why not since we're practically caught up. The US copies are easy enough to buy via Amazon/Forbidden Planet/Travelling Man/Waterstones.
And yes we should e-mail Viz to let them know we want Zoro and not Zolo.
I can't wait for 2010. I can't believe we're getting 5 volumes per month.
Nice.
Good job Viz
Did anyone else notice the logo has changed to the Toei style except with a white outline instead of black.
Possible ditching of the gold logo with the speed up?
I mean it makes sense as I’m sure gold overlays costs more to produce and we are getting five per month.
Wow! This pretty much makes up for all the crap that happened with the Funi streaming incident (but since the DVDs are getting an accelerated release as well I'm happy!).
O-chan
Well, this is good. I'm glad that Viz decided to listen to us. At this point I don't care how they edit the volumes. Besides, I'm sure they won't be too drastic with their edits.
Yeah what chapter of id do you think they will start at?
I think chapter 523-Hell, since its the beginning of Volume 54, since we'll have all the volumes up to 53 by June.
