The second One Piece box set that Viz Media has released, this covers the Skypiea Arc and the Water 7/Enies Lobby Arc of the series. The Latter being one of my favorite arcs in the series and where One Piece truly distanced itself from its contemporary shonen series. With over 22 volumes of manga, you should be set reading for a while as Luffy explores the Sky Islands and battle with forces of the god tyrant Enel and then risks everything in his fight to rescue Nico Robin from the World Government and CP9. Some of the best fights and moments take place in the pre-Time skip arc especially Luffy vs Rob Lucci and the shooting of the World Government Flag
Packaged in a large beautiful box, for anyone who hasn’t started collecting the One Piece mangas seriously, Viz has released another great box set for manga fans. These box sets which come packaged in a large beautiful box, usually cover the entire manga series, or a good portion of their volumes so that fans have a way of getting all the books at a reasonable price. for anyone just getting into the One Piece manga and has become hooked like I have, I recommend picking this up along with the first box set which covered the East Blue Arc to the end of the Baroque Works saga. Most likely fans will have to wait till next year for the next box set covering the next 20+ something volumes, but i will happily wait because the collections are nice. if you were lucky and ordered from Rightstuf, you also got a special gift collection of postcards from Eiichiro Oda, many of why look very nice.
One thing i would like to see when buying manga collections or volumes in general would be a code to get the digital version for either free or discounted price. I do not know how many times i have been travelling and just to take out my tablet and be able to read all the manga i have hard copies for would be great. Amazon has done something like this with music CDs, where if you bought some CDs, you got them placed in your music library as well. Since I like the feel of the hard copy book when I read at home, I usually buy the physical copy. But when I’m travelling i would like to be read the manga digitally without having to pay double for the book. This is the one thing I would love Viz Media in general to do since they release many of the manga volumes that I read but i would love if all companies that printed manga did this as well.
