Will the One Piece volumes be 10 bucks or will they be cheaper than other manga since they're releasing so many at one time?

Offline
Nah, unfortunately they're all being bumped up to $10 each too. =/
Offline
$10 manga sounds fantastic to me lol, over here (Australia) , the usual price is $15 +
Offline
viz have been increasing their prices slowly but notably. don't expect 10$ to be the end of it
@ yami_guy >> your first pot = price complain (lol)

Now that I think about it, if they're getting rid of that "One Piece" above the logo...then what text is going to be on the spine? o.O
Offline
Now, the question for me remains: Where do I come up with the $400 (CAD) or so to buy/preorder all the volumes?

Buying all these is definately gonna put a dent in my wallet but IT IS GONNA BE SO WORTH IT.

just a tip for y'all:
i got this site from a friend: http://www.bookdepository.com/ and if you pre-order long before volumes come out, you got one hell of a discount. I just ordered the volume 24-48 with a 54% off (and free shipping). just so you know

In case any of you are interested, the latest American Shonen Jump contains an English version of the Romance Dawn pre-one piece manga which the latest anime special was based on.
Other interesting things in this month's issue include summaries of all the arcs up until Impel Down and some Oda Q n' A!
The next issue will begin the chapters from Impel Down. Will it eventually catch up with the Japanese Jump schedule? Heres hoping!

I found these at Bookdepository (and some other online stores):

Floor display? Could they be cardboard cutouts or something?

Offline
Oh! the floor display must be the corrugate. Its one of those cardboard things that hold manga in stores. We usually send them out for free if a store buys 60 or so manga. There's a new display every month. If I remember correctly this is the line-up. (sorry if i get them wrong, i'm working on the Shojo side right now)
jan- luffy
feb-zoro
mar-nami
apr-sanji
may-chopper
june - franky
those correspond to the months that the special Wanted poster themed stickers are coming out in. Usopp and Brooke can only be found in the SJ mag.

i just love to see pics of 'm, so if you are bored for a minute..... ![]()

all the proofs are in the design library. I only have access to the raw design files, of which I would get fired if I leaked. If there are anymore that need proofing I'll see if I can get a picture of one of em.

Offline
sorry to revive a dead thread, but has anyone else picked em up. Suddenly there's "hell"s and "damn"s slipped all over it. I was wondering if they commented on their sudden decision to tone up the language factor. It's a little odd.
Offline
haven't noticed it yet. From which volume on did they change this? I'm currently reading volume 40 but haven't seen a hell or damn yet.....looking forward to it ![]()
Offline
Saul drops the first one during the robin flashback, but it made me wonder if there were more I missed because I just kinda glaze over it having already memorized most of the lines. I am exaggerating about all over though. I'm just surprised to see any in there after thirty something volumes of "darn".

Thanks everyone! I just wanted to tell you that all 5 volumes of this months One Piece speed up made it to the New York Times Bestselling Manga list this week. It even got an article this week in the arts section of the website.
http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/tag/one-piece/
Also in anime news we're doing a lot more with FUNi, to where we are also streaming One Piece on our streaming site. vizanime.com I think we're obligated to be one week behind them, but not to play favorites, but I like our player better.

Offline
Nice to see the speed up in releases and the good results. Keep it up!
Offline
I love this speed up but it is killing my wallet. And I haven't even been able to buy March's and April's volumes. Or been able to read all of January and February's volumes. I need to make more manga reading time. ![]()

Offline
but needing more time to read manga is a good problem to have right? well at least better than having too little manga to read, at least.

Offline
I really, really love Viz for releasing it on this basis. Every month I enjoy the 5 volumes and just when I finished the last one, the next batch has been released already or will be within a couple of days. 2010 is a One Piece reading trip for me up untill now

So far the only thing I really don't like is that they've called Gear Second Gear Two. Yes, it shows the number 2, but it's pronounced Se-ka-n-do! It's even pronounced that way in the anime. It's not a deal breaker, as I'm buying every volume as they come, but it's kind of annoying that there isn't consistency.
I can understand changing 'Don!' to 'Boom!' though, but it would have been nice to have it translated literally. Aside from those minor gripes, great job on the speed up. I'll be sad when it goes back to the months of waiting for a single volume though.
Offline
yeah the Don->Boom translation was really stupid IMO, seeing that the sound effects used for DON have been left untranslated to DON with every volume now. I also agree on you Gear Second / Gear Two translation but overall I'm satisfied with the releases. I'm wondering what the release schedule will be after the speedup. Volume 54 will be released in july, but no news on volume 55 yet.
