One Piece Mangaka Revelations!
An interesting interview revealed something about One Piece that fans probably wants to know…or probably, They already knew!
Oda Eiichiro’s interview was published in AERA magazine on December 14th. In the interview, he said he decided not to create full length manga other than One Piece. He thinks One Piece should be for shonen and he wrote the story under restrictions such as:
- No romance
- Avoid scenes of murder and deaths
- A happy party comes after each battle
Last month, Oda said the story reached the climax of its middle stages by the volume 55.
Considering there are some female characters in One Piece, I wonder if it is just a waste not to explore some romance for the series. Only One Piece fans know it better!
