One Piece’s Manga is Turning 28 Next Week

The Manga Started Back In 1997

One Piece is quite an old series now. This manga started all the way back in 1997, and to this day, it remains to be one of the longest-running series in the world. Following the story of Monkey D. Luffy, One Piece is a global success with fans all over the world.

One Piece is still going strong, with no sign of the story ending anytime soon, even though the Final Saga has already begun. The story is now almost 28 years old, with the latest anniversary approaching. One Piece's 28th anniversary is almost here, and fans expect big things to come. And while nothing out of the ordinary is happening, Oda will be dropping some interesting things soon. Technically, One Piece’s 28th anniversary will be on July 22, 2025. However, since Jump drops before that, on July 20, fans will see Oda dropping exciting content then.

Oda Is Contributing to the 28th Anniversary of One Piece

  • New Color Spread and Magazine Cover
  • Both Drawn By Eiichiro Oda

Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece has a huge surprise in store for fans, with the 28th anniversary approaching.

Oda will be directly contributing to his series’ anniversary in two ways. Firstly, Oda is going to make a new color spread. Fans don’t know what this will entail, but typically, it centers on the Straw Hat Pirates. This could be different, however, as it’s for an anniversary. Many fans hope to see Imu, the Holy knights, or Gaban in colors, and the color spread would be a perfect opportunity to illustrate just that.

Aside from that, Oda is also planning to draw a new magazine cover. Both of these will be revealed next week, so fans should definitely keep an eye out for when they drop, on July 20.
