After having gone through an adventure like that, it wouldn’t be fair to not actually give them a reward.
#Oda one piece series
The blockbuster series has sold over 490 million copies worldwide as of 2021, effectively establishing Eiichiro as a game-changing artist in manga history. Oda: Hahaha, no no, I won’t be pulling off some kind of Wizard of Oz thing like that. Eiichiro Oda is well known around the world as the writer of the world’s longest-running manga series, ‘One Piece,’ which has been serialized since 1997. BUT, the One Piece, it’s not something like “the growth your heart went through”, right? Well, I want to know, but I probably shouldn’t. Oda: Yes, I already decided on how it’s going to end. Upon asking Oda whether the ending of One Piece was already determined, Oda answered: Oda brought along his wife, two daughters and former editor Takeru Isaka and they went to Sakura’s house for a dinner party.
Even though it’s an interview.Īfter a while, the two of them had thought of coming together and actually meeting face to face which ended up happening a few months ago when Oda announced it in WSJ issue #19’s Author Comments section. (Apparently Sakura wrote to Oda using the honorific “ sensei” which Oda found a bit awkward coming from Sakura so he asked her to use Odacchi instead to which Sakura insisted he’d use Momo-chan in exchange).Īfter I’m done with this manuscript, I’m off to go and have a talk with Momo-chan. She started reading the manga herself and quickly got hooked! (Apparently her favorite manga characters is Silvers Rayleigh).Īfter drawing a signed drawing for Oda’s daughters, which their mutual contact handed over to them, Sakura received a signed drawing from the One Piece creator himself and they exchanged email addresses and started frequently exchanging emails after a while. Eichiiro Oda avait par exemple déjà dit avoir atteint la moitié de son manga au chapitre 597, paru le 30 août 2010.
Sakura, who had stopped reading manga since she entered the business (after coming to Tôkyô she became to busy and didn’t find the time to read manga anymore), didn’t know about One Piece until a few years earlier when she heard from several friends about One Piece. Cette annonce correspond à peu près à celles faites précédemment. The Mook was released on Jand featured several interviews, drawings,… as well as a write-up of Oda’s visit to Momoko Sakura’s house and how the two of them first got in touch with each other.Īccording to the write-up, Oda and Sakura first got in touch through a mutual acquaintance working for Fuji Television who had told Sakura about Oda’s daughters being big fans of her series “ Chibi Maruko-chan“. And while Oda and his series are famous for meticulously planning plot direction, covering all of the series’ remaining mysteries is indeed quite a tall order.As mentioned in a previous post, the author of the series “Chibi Maruko-chan” -Momoko Sakura- published a Mook to celebrate the 30th anniversary of her becoming a manga artist. What's particularly interesting is Oda’s promise to draw all of “the mysteries of the world” in the series’ final saga, especially considering how many new mysteries Wano introduced. Many of them seem to feel this way, which is unsurprising, considering how big a part of their lives the 1000+ chapter series likely has been. He ends his message by saying it’ll be “super interesting” and tells readers to fasten their seatbelts, asking them to stick with him a little longer.įans' response to this message has been bittersweet, with some expressing how simultaneously excited and sad they are to see one of their favorite series rapidly approaching its end.
He then teases what fans can expect in the coming years as the series approaches its end, saying that he’ll be drawing all of “the mysteries of the world,” of which there are plenty left.
