In the world of manga, there are only a few series that have stood the test of time as well as Eiichiro Oda's "One Piece." The long-running saga of Monkey D. Luffy and his crew will take an unplanned hiatus, as Oda, the creator of the epic series, has announced a temporary break to take care of his health.
The upcoming four-week hiatus was announced on the official "One Piece" website, running from June 19 to July 10, corresponding to issues 29 to 32 of Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. The reason for the interruption is that Oda will undergo surgery to treat his astigmatism, a vision impairment that has affected his work due to blurred vision. Oda decided on the surgical procedure after consulting with his editor last year. Fans can still look forward to the upcoming 28th issue on June 12 before the short break.
"One Piece," which began on July 19, 1997, in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, is a staple in the manga industry. With an ever-expanding universe of characters and intricate plotlines, "One Piece" continues to captivate readers worldwide. The series revolves around Monkey D. Luffy's quest to obtain the legendary "One Piece" treasure, a coveted item left behind by a legendary pirate. His journey through the Grand Line, filled with confrontations and alliances, forms the core of the storyline.
To expand the "One Piece" narrative beyond manga and anime, Netflix is developing a live-action series adaptation of the manga, set to release later this year.
