I chose 4 volumes of One Piece over some pants and jeans for my birthday present this yesterday(i lack pants you see,) and now news like this pops out today. I swear i've never felt i've made a better decision in my whole life. Am now looking forward to saving money to buy myself the rest! ^^
2010 Japanese Manga Ranking: new One Piece record

@HiroVoid:
Why are people still complaining about 4kids? Stop beating a dead horse already! That was what? 4-5 years ago now.
Personally, why on earth would someone censor / edit a children's anime show such as this is beyond me.
I've never actually seen any of the 4kids episodes but i read that it was heavily edited and that usually kills the show. Unless they wanted to improve the animation quality (let's face it: some episodes were quite bad, animation wise), they should never have touched it.
If a show isn't good enough, ratings wise, it will be pulled out of the programming list but helping a show to actually become worse will only make it pulled out of programming list sooner: honestly, what kind of business school did the dude responsible for that call go to?

All the edits were sanctioned by Toei so they're the true idiots behind it all. But really if people still have such a low opinion about One Piece because of what they saw in the past just forget about them.

I see: the saga of "why use a gun when you can use a bazooka to shoot yourself in the foot" …

words couldn't be any more true, exactly what i was thinking
Yet, curiously, the current Fairy Tail arc is getting VERY high praise from a lot of members of this forum. Even I, after the excrement inferno that was the ending of the Edoras arc, am starting to like it. But hell, the past 2 arcs have been like, rock bottom. Absolute hell of shittiness and beyond. I rank the Mirajane part as one of the top 5 crap manga moments.
So maybe he's doing the opposite Kubo route: starting to get good near the end, while Tite is getting blasfemously bad as the manga advances.
Back on topic: Oda, keep it up. You're doing the best Action/adventure shonen manga in ages, and it shows. Congratulations to the man!

@HiroVoid:
And again, this matters because….why? We're still getting uncut dvd's and it's not as if it'd still be on TV anyway with even Naruto getting the cut.
Did you know that even Funimation is considering dropping One Piece? They haven't been dubbing past the 3rd season…
-
I don't know why people are happy about this, it's not as if Fairy Tail was a good manga. And congratulation to Oda once again.
I stopped reading both a while ago. And when I did Fairy Tail was boring and repetetive, while Bleach was a smoldering pile of trash. Thus Fairy Tail > Bleach is good in my book.

Drop this damn rumour already.

From someone who thinks that Fairy Tail was good at the beginning, started getting really boring, generic, and repetitive with the Laxus arc, worse with Oracion Seis, and even worse with Edoras, I like the current arc.
I agree pretty much exactly with Jerkdisease about Bleach though. Kubo even said in 2009 he didn't know how to end the current arrancar arc. Like…not even Kubo knew how to kill Aizen. Thus the arrancar arc was terrible....but I like the current arc. Past 5 - 6 chapters have felt like old school Bleach to me.
Well...no matter what, both are better than KHR! by far lol
Also, AWESOME! WAY TO GO ODA! WAY TO GO ONE PIECE! =D
Also, 20th Century Boys was an amazing manga. One of the best of all time...actually currently in a 3 way tie for my favorite with One Piece and Fullmetal Alchemist. The 3 alternate as my favorite lol.

Fairy tail is much better but KHR is much better than bleach… which isn't saying much, now if you took out everything after soul society then yes bleach trumps those two, but that last "arc" is sooooo bad I have few words that can describe it
-
Congratulations ODA, well deserved
-
One Piece is top 1 to 5 O.o
-
I'm not surprised anymore…
It's a good thing too.
I don't know why people are happy about this, it's not as if Fairy Tail was a good manga.
Because people can be happy.

how much money is Oda taking from the sales again?
-
One Piece is TOP 1 in general Manga Ranking with 32,340,000 copies in 2010 (One Piece sold 14,721,000 copies in 2009).
I wonder if this 32 M is just for the volumes sold in 2010 or total volumes sold through out all these years?

no
one piece sold 200 Million+ all in all
maybe 210M
-
no
one piece sold 200 Million+ all in all
maybe 210M
Then it is really a huge difference between the 14 M of last year and the current 32 M of this year sales. Conclusion: as always OP is amazing.
I have never bought a volume as I could not get newer volumes in bookstores in Turkey but each time I am reminded of the new record of OP, the more I want to buy them. The day is near when I gotta use Amazon which I have never used before.

One Piece is like hax! :O
Incredible, 32million sold copies and rank 2 only has around 7 million.
