One Piece, Volume 1: Romance Dawn by Eiichiro OdaMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
We have volumes 1-3 sitting in the house from when our kids were younger. I picked up volume 1, and found it fairly good, especially as our version is in French. It is interesting how difficult it is to say 'punch' in French (donner un coup de poing). Since this word comes up fairly frequently, it must have meant they needed to shrink the font size considerably to fit the text in the bubbles. The art is confusing at times, with strange perspectives that you could not get with a camera and usually don't see. I guess that is part of the appeal of anime.
