One Piece (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Eiichiro Oda. It
has been serialized in Shueisha's shōnen manga magazine Weekly Shōnen Jump since July 1997,
with its individual chapters compiled into 101 tankōbon volumes as of December 2021. The story
follows the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy, a boy whose body gained the properties of rubber after
unintentionally eating a Devil Fruit. With his pirate crew, the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy explores the
Grand Line in search of the world's ultimate treasure known as the "One Piece" in order to become
the next King of the Pirates.
The manga spawned a media franchise, having been adapted into a festival film produced
by Production I.G, and an anime series produced by Toei Animation, which began broadcasting in
Japan in 1999. Additionally, Toei has developed fourteen animated feature films, one OVA and
thirteen television specials. Several companies have developed various types of merchandising and
media, such as a trading card game and numerous video games. The manga series was licensed for
an English language release in North America and the United Kingdom by Viz Media and in Australia
by Madman Entertainment. The anime series was licensed by 4Kids Entertainment for an English-
language release in North America in 2004, before the license was dropped and subsequently
acquired by Funimation in 2007.
One Piece has received praise for its storytelling, art, characterization, and humor. It has received
many awards and is ranked by critics, reviewers, and readers as one of the best manga of all time.
Several volumes of the manga have broken publishing records, including the highest initial print run
of any book in Japan. In 2015, One Piece set the Guinness World Record for "the most copies
published for the same comic book series by a single author". It was the best-selling manga for
eleven consecutive years from 2008 to 2018, and is the only manga that had an initial print of
volumes of above 3 million continuously for more than 10 years, as well as the only that had
achieved more than 1 million copies sold in all of its 100 published tankōbon volumes.
As of July 2021, One Piece had over 490 million copies in circulation in 58 countries and regions
worldwide, making it the best-selling manga series in history, and the best-selling comic
series printed in book volume. It is also one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time.
