I think the problem with manga is people (outside of the community) usually approach it from an artistic angle

Like Jojo’s didn’t make history because of the quality of its writing but Araki’s art. Inoue is a legendary mangaka with even some non-anime fans praising his art rather than his writing (even if his writing is phenomenal)

I’d say that’s both a boon and a flaw of manga being a visual medium

I think in the history books One Piece will likely have a spot similar to like Harry Potter. Where neither of them are praised for having never before seen levels of writing but they broke a lot of sales figures so it feels right to talk about

I had a professor in a media class that mentioned One Piece because he was going over the best sellers in each “category” (and this one was Japanese comic)

I think One Piece will fall under something like that
Maybe HP is a good comparison ngl.


I get your point as well.


I personally would rather read a manga with good/great writing and bad art than vice-versa and mainly judge manga based on the writing level when ranking of course.


Otherwise, whatever floats your boat, you do it br0. Like I said, SDS is a perfect example. I like it, it's bad, but I still enjoy watching Ban and Escanor.
 
There won't be another manga like oda because most manga writers prefer short series than long seires. Making to 300 chapters is tough job let alone 500, then 1000. One say Oda hit luck to win on right moment.

Beside who is going willing to draw 1000 chapters Luke oda nowadays?

You can hate one piece but you can't deny success in Japan and other nations. Even 4kids introduced one piece to west due pirate theme which it famous in media. Kids read about pirates books at libraries.
I would agree that One Piece is the GOAT manga but Oda unfortunately had to go and draw Akainu as part of the OP finalists spread

See I think that makes you an exception because a lot of people rank based on a blend of both criteria. Which I think is somewhat fair because manga is a visual medium at the end of the day

But it does feel unfair when say HxH gets knocked down a peg in rankings because Togashi’s failing health doesn’t allow him to draw to the best of his ability. And then you get that weird grey area where the artwork is stellar but the writing isn’t always up to par (OPM in certain arcs)

Where do you place One Piece currently? How do you feel about it?
 
Loki is going shake one piece community fantasy powerscaling.
Imu praise Loki strength.

Then future chapters oda troll fanbase by having Shanks beat loki in fight quickly and capture him thanks to giants and his crew. To create choas across fanbase. And Lee would rage quit manga forever and delete his account.

Unspoken rule- mid gen are strongest of all Era until new generation.

There are some mangaka that prefer the longer style but they’d never hit One Piece length

Black Clover got close but it still wrapped up hundreds of chapters short of 1000. Even the longer modern shonen still top out at around 400-500 chapters

Side note: I find it funny that people always bring up One Piece being long but there are a handful of other manga that are longer. Iirc Hajime no Ippo is MUCH longer than current OP
