One Piece has sold more than 600 million copies worldwide

One Piece is a manga series created by Eiichiro Oda about Monkey D. Luffy and his crew.

By March 2026, more than 600 million copies were in circulation worldwide, making it the best-selling comic property, according to the article.

The series has also grown into a wider entertainment franchise, with more than 1,000 anime episodes, video games and a Netflix live-action adaptation.

Its long, connected story can make it hard for new readers or viewers to know where to start.

The article points to the live-action series and a planned anime remake as ways newcomers could begin without taking on the full backlog.

The series’ scale and detailed world are also part of its appeal, though some long-running story arcs move slowly.

The planned remake is the next stated option for new viewers; no release date is given.
