also i'm so glad i joined ya'll too, especially before the one piece was revealed. like that was my whole goal lol. i first started watching op in 2023 and have been consistently watching to catch up since. (had to take breaks in between cause oh boy some shit i needed to sit with before continuing) then i caught up with the anime right before it started airing again. and then started reading the manga from where the anime left off and it took me 2 months to read the manga cause of the heavy lore drops and the sadness (kuma) was insane. also ignore this longass message like i just had to say it cause i been holding this in ahahahajdk

Haha don’t worry, i get it. When i started One Piece and caught up to the anime, the latest episodes were in Dressrosa arc so binging the manga from that point was amazing. I think after I caught up, I stacked the manga and anime for about a year by binging a bunch of different mangas so I had stacked kuma’s backstory up to chapters 1147 before binging again. Now I’m just reading weekly again and I wish I’d stacked a couple more months since everything is so intense right now.
i read op for the first time and just caught up with this yesterday and i was tweaking cause i needed to know what happens next cause the brook flashback is soo intriguing. and i was so glad it updated today and... wdym i have to wait for next week i just know it's gonna be a torturous waiting game each week
