One Piece Manga #64 Gets Japan's 1st 4-Million Print Run

[Boa Hancock]

The Japanese publisher Shueisha is producing four million copies of the 64th volume of Eiichiro Oda's One Piece pirate manga — the latest volume in the series to set a record for the most copies in its first printing in Japan. The volume is shipping on Friday.

One Piece has been setting records in first printings since volume 56, which held the manga record in December of 2009 for 2.85 million copies. Volume 57 was the first volume to hold the record for all books in Japan, since its 3-million-copy first printing topped Harry Potter and Order of the Phoenix's 2.9 million. Since then, every volume except volume 62 (published two months after the March 11 Great Eastern Japan Earthquake disaster) has set a new record in first printing.

As of the 64th volume, Shueisha has published over 250 million copies of the manga series; One Piece has had the highest number of copies printed of any Shueisha manga series in Japan.

The manga follows a rubber-bodied boy named Luffy who aims to become the Pirate King by leading a motley crew, including a three-sword-wielding Zoro and the female navigator Nami. The manga has been running in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine since 1997, and the ongoing television anime series premiered in 1999.

Need I say it again?
Oda is just kicking ass and taking names. Kishi needs to take some major notes.
As said in the other threads already,

Those other less-epic things.
But of course, we all know that already.

I'm trying to help Kishi out here. Oda is being selfish

I kind of wonder why no one else is happy about this.

Maybe it's to be expected?

Its a regular thing now. Do you know how many "One Piece breaks a record" threads there are? Thats why these threads don't get much comments anymore, its expected now. And when was the last time Naruto got something like that? Not since.....well never seen one.
Us OP fans have the right to be cocky.

I'd tone down on the cockiness a little bit but ... it's just as you say

The best part is how angry the Narutards get when we tell them OP is better. The convo usually ends with either Mugi or Cali or both showing up to put them in their place. Meaning, they don't respond after that because theres nothing good they can say.
Its also where I can go all out

I'm also not so much well known around here so that's a plus to my post count
