One Piece Kicks Off 25th Anniversary Celebration With New Logo
On July 22, 2022 the best-selling manga in history, One Piece, will reach a landmark of 25 years of non-stop serialization. To kick off the celebrations for this milestone, a new logo has been unveiled to make nostalgic homage to the moment that started Luffy's adventures to become the Pirate King.
One Piece first appeared in the pages of Weekly Shonen Jump on July 22 of 1997. Becoming an immediate hit due to its blend of action, humor, adventure, and the depiction of a vast world rich in lore and mystery, One Piece became the best-selling manga in history, with more than half a billion copies sold worldwide. This record has made One Piece one of the only two literary works in history to achieve that number, the other being Harry Potter. And the 25th anniversary of its debut is the perfect chance to celebrate this manga's history and legacy.
