What is ‘One Piece’?

“One Piece” is a Japanese comic book, also known as a manga, created by Eiichiro Oda in 1997. Since its publication, it has been translated into multiple languages, including English. A Japanese animated show (anime), the Netflix live-action show, and multiple movies have also been created based on the manga.

On Tuesday, March 3, Crunchyroll announced that the “One Piece” comic has sold over 600 million copies, surpassing Superman and becoming the best-selling comic book of all time.

Oda is the eighth best-selling author of all time, and sits behind J. K. Rowling, who sold 600 to 650 million copies of the Harry Potter novels, according to Crunchyroll. Oda is also the only Japanese author and the second non-English-language author listed in the top 10.
