Is One piece REALLY worth reading an ongoing 1000+ chapters?? The plot seems kind of simple for it to be so long so i wanna know... Is it overhyped bc of nostalgia or is it actually that consistently interesting?
Your skeptism is understandable. I was also like that when Im not starting to read it. At first I was like.. The Art is so mehhh.. not worth my time and to think it was only 500+ chapter around that time. But because of boredom and desperation to find something new I started.
But ohhh boy!!!! Once you start you'll get hooked!!! I never stoped and always tuning in for an update. It was my top 1 back way back in 2014 and its still my Top 1 until today.... There's a reason why its so popular and why its so long.
To cut monologue short... ONE PIECE IS AWESOMEヾ(☆▽☆) My wish is that it will have an ending before I die..
Words cannot express how good One piece is, I hope for you that you are able to enjoy it, it's such a great experience to be able to lose yourself in the story for the first time. You should be the one to decides if 1000+ chapters is worth your time, a big majority of people seem to think so and I think that speaks to it's consistency.
You can't force yourself to enjoy it so if you realize that you're not that invested a few chapters in, you've got the liberty of dropping it any time, with that being said, I'd say One piece is one of those mangas that get progressively better as the story goes on.
Proceed with caution though....One piece can be engaging.....in a crippling sense, to the point where you're likely to neglect everyday responsibilities. (❀╹◡╹)ノ~
Are there any stories that were so good you debated buying them or wished you could buy them legally to support the author?
Most things I regularly read are via public library system (where I live you only pay 1 or 2 bucks when get first library card & only ever pay after that if you have late fees, need replacement card , or use the printer/copier/faxer) so I rarely buy books. The few manga I’ve bought for myself are mainly stand alone volumes, like Cats of the Louvre. But I typically buy them before I’ve read them, like, I sorta flip through them & read the back and occasionally one will speak to me.
Do you guys know if there's any recs similar to otouto no otto where it realistically shows the perspective of people unfamiliar with lgbtq being introduced to it for the first time? (I already read Ani no Hanashi & Ao no Flag) preferably happy endings but angst is ok too.
Also if yk any good historical action manga or fluff recs... Hit me up as well.

Ive read a bunch of realistic bl abt homophobia & self acceptance and all that but i just realized that I've only read like one or two gl about that same thing where the story actually revolved around them understanding & accepting their own sexuality. Do yall have any?
okay so it's not really /focused/ on the lesbian couple (main character is a gay teenager) but it shows what you want http://www.mangago.zone/read-manga/shimanami_tasogare/
actually the whole thing is about that. it's really diverse, i HIGHLY recommend it
Mangas where the characters visually age along with the progression of the story (For ex, in Aot, One piece, and Vinland Saga, the characters all started as kids, but got older as the story progressed). Genre doesn't matter.
