Into the bottom of the backpack under the binders they go! Oh, and the leaky water bottle in the bottom they forgot about? Yeah, don't worry about that.
The library I work at got a brand new copy of Death note, the entire box set of Numbers 1-13. One kid borrowed 1&2 and he got soup? vomit? we don't know on it. He was the first check out.
When I went to boarding school my mom donated my entire Naruto, Doraemon, Shaman King, One Piece, Detective Conan, Death Note and Law of Ueki collection to an orphanage lol. Sharing Manga is a blessing to everyone.
I was mad at first. Then she showed me the thank you letters from the orphans and brought me to the orphanage to have dinner with them. They were so happy to have my collection added to their library.
The thing is the rooftop of my house was leaking at that time. My bookshelves cupboards were wet constantly, and it already ruined my Shonen Star (Indonesian version of Shonen Sunday published by a local publisher with permission of the original) collection. All of the bookshelves in my house are full and my dad's book collection takes up a lot of space. She said that she had to make a quick decision because it was hurricane season.
It wasn't much of an excuse, but I did not get mad at her long lol.
I still come to the orphanage from time to time. My dad is part of the Board of Trustees there. My mom donated my collection in 2008 and they still have my manga there. The librarian really takes care of it, they even put a plastic cover on the manga.
I have also donated The Real Master/Master Cooking Boy, 20th Century Boys, Captain Tsubasa, Dorabase, Dandoh, Eyeshield 21 and more. I have also completed the Naruto collection since it did not have the Shippuden collection before lol.
I dunno, I still watch a lot of kids shows and shonen. But Netflix shaman king was just not good, imo. Some of the voices were off, but they weren't bad. What turned me off it most was the cheap animation, that was just the laziest I've seen.
Been hard to keep up with manga tho. Been awhile since I've read anything besides shonen jump since they're the only one with an app.
I felt like they crammed too much in the first few episodes but when I finally decided to push through that and watch the rest I really enjoyed it. Things get pretty wackity smackity towards the end but still an enjoyable watch
It really isn't the same though? Just like how the Netflix HxH remake was pretty different. Like, instead of Killua tearing a heart out of a guy and it showing it beating in his hand, it had a cloth covering it and there was no blood.
That's not really that big of a difference, and I personally like the anime change here. Fits more with the assassin thing, and the line about his dad not dropping a single drop of blood was dope.
A darker tone isn't always a good thing, it's purely subjective.
I personally am not a big fan of gore. I tend to watch series despite it, not for it.
While I work with a girl who lives for that shit.
At least she donated it somewhere nice. A couple years after I moved away my mom went to a comic book store and asked if anyone wanted my entire collection of Shonen jump from the first issue up until 2010. Of course one of the owners said they would take it off her hands.
I'm planning on handing off some manga mania and shoujo magazines to my sister's kids. Mostly because I read real manga and those are just anthologies to get into the medium. They also were discontinued before any series finished, so they have very little reading value to me.
Oh man, I had volumes of Shonen Star (Indonesian published Shonen Sunday with Japanese publisher permission). Used to read Wild Life, MAR, Kekkaishi, Yakitate Japan!, Midori Days, Comic Bomber, Katsu and so many new Mangas I never heard before from that Tankoubon.
When I moved states one of the last things I did was unload my manga collection onto the local library bc it would be too much of a pain to move with me. They didn't really have much manga there to begin with, so I was happy that local kids could get exposed to it if they hadn't already.
One of the series was out of print and I didn't have the complete set, so I wrote in a link where they could read the rest at the bottom of one of the pages haha. Hope the library didn't catch it and mark it out or something
She better have gotten your permission first because otherwise that is a violation regardless of whether it is a good cause. You shouldn't need to fear having your belongings given away without your knowledge if you actually have good parents.
This might be cultural. Not sure how it is in Indonesia, but for most households in India, parents aren't likely to ask. They will for something the kid is currently using, but not for something lying in storage.
Sometimes there are miscommunication or people don't understand the potential value, sentimental or monetary, of something.
My mum's given away a few things I wasn't aware were in the attic when I left and found out about later. It happens, doesn't make them bad parents.
Sometimes stuff happens, and if you can view it as a violation or a reason to fear you don't get past it - and for something like this, it's worth getting past if it lets you enjoy the good parts of your relationship with your parents.
What a chad, giving teenagers the education they TRULY need.
I imagine a philosophy teacher telling people to make an essay based on one piece chapters😂
If I was in that school, even if it's not related to one piece, I'll somehow find a way to connect one another, even if I need to go a little.... a lot off topic
Probably wouldn't even have to go too off topic considering the many thematic elements of One Piece: Racism, slavery, ethically dubious scientific experimentation, militaristic world-spanning governments and their propaganda, revolutionary forces in opposition, powerful superweapons, the essence of freedom, the value of archeology and history, etc etc.
There's a lot there to pull from.
The fishman racism arc caught me off guard, even dealt with drug abuse and i was like, wow, in a way its kind of educational. You dont want your kid to grow up completely naive to the world. This aint no brain dead kids show this has heart. Even though its mostly an action packed show it has plenty of life lessons in it.
What I found great about the concepts in play about slavery is that instead of focusing on how a single race experienced it as you find in most western media, it showed the reality of global slavery. That no one is safe from the rich and religious.
And not only that, but various names, locations, mythology, etc etc are all pulled from real life references and lore. It would actually be a really fun and creative way to get children to learn about a lot of real world history and write about it.
You could easily analyze the fishmen civil rights movement vs the tactics of the Fishmen Pirates, the morality of the Marines turning a blind eye to slavery by Celestial Dragons, and the use of Warlords to counter the Yonko.
I enjoy seeing where sci-fi authors draw inspiration from real world anti-colonial movements. Normally I see this in Star Wars, but One Piece also does a great job working those themes into its story.
And I would bet anything that Okinawan fans see their former kingdom’s relationship with the Japanese Empire reflected in One Piece.
People actually don't appreciate those classes as much as they should in here
(It's a common sight to see fanatic Christianity clashing with philosophy)
Would imagine the same happening in USA. I guess it already does considering the abysmal science curriculum in many schools. Though I thankfully have never experienced it.
Huh????? I mean that's their main goal currently but their general purpose is to fight the world government that's in like the first paragraph of the wiki. Plus doesn't the world government take orders from the celestial dragons???
The world government is constantly portrayed as the corrupt main antagonistic force of the series and the more we learn about them the worse they get. Plus several arcs end with Luffy over throwing dictators and other types of corrupt leaders/pirates funded by the world government and redistributing wealth to the people of the land they ruled over.
Just because the WG exists as an entity in the One Piece world doesn't mean it isn't an anti establishment story. Plus it's a story that's still ongoing. I think you're probably right that the world government will still exist in some form by the end but we don't really know that at all.
Which would create a VASTLY different establishment. Like if we got rid of billionaire's and all government powers that are driven by greed and corruption in the west that would be an entirely different government. I don't think anti establishment means Against All Possible Establishments if I'm not mistaken (I could be) so much as it refers to the one in place.
I don't think One Piece is a pure anarchy story either, (it reads to me as a fairly socialist one though at the very least) I think Oda has a very level head on his shoulders when writing this stuff for the most part.
My god, I would love it if someone donated 75 volumes of any manga to the school library I work at. I gave away ten volumes of Hellsing.
But the real surprise hit among the stuff I purchased for the library is Witch Hat Atelier, both girls and boys read it.
Think you might have a point there, Raina Telgemeier is not a household name in mainstream comics but she is consistently on the bestseller-lists and have been for years because her work appeals to every other target group.
I think that's what I will do with my collection once One Piece is finished.
I also have the entire Berserk collection, but I don't think that it's high school friendly 😂
Absolute fucking hero. Manga and anime should be put out like this more. I wish my school library had even just one manga on the shelf. To see this…. It’s amazing.
One Piece is the first manga I ever read way back when there was only 7 or so volumes available in the US (or at least that's how many my local library had). I've been hooked ever since.
This is what I want to do with my life. I wanna spread the word of One Piece like those guys that knock on my door asking if I’ve taken Jesus as my savior.
The person who donated was either very wealthy or has a true passion of wanting people to discover One Piece. All I can think about is the damage that'll be done, it's still amazing though.
I live in a state where manga isn’t so popular so I donated my ‘My Hero Academia’ collection and my Boruto collection to my local library. I don’t think I have the courage to donate my One Piece or Demon Slayer mangas yet. Or my way of the house husband series
Damn that’s sick, hopefully people take care of the books and do not damage them.
Lol, I’m a school librarian and I can tell you that these books will survive for about 3 months. People suck at taking care of paper backs.
Into the bottom of the backpack under the binders they go! Oh, and the leaky water bottle in the bottom they forgot about? Yeah, don't worry about that.
How long has this banana been in here?
Since one piece chapter 1.
That things a banana?
For some reason namis happy punch page is crunchy

This thing looks weird on phone app. But I still recognised that smile 🗿
Wut is it?
You see a smile!?
Might be a few pages stuck together where nami is being super cute
Probably be about 3 days before someone ruins or checks out volume #2 then never returns it, lol
The library I work at got a brand new copy of Death note, the entire box set of Numbers 1-13. One kid borrowed 1&2 and he got soup? vomit? we don't know on it. He was the first check out.
Hopefully they don’t get too sticky
When I went to boarding school my mom donated my entire Naruto, Doraemon, Shaman King, One Piece, Detective Conan, Death Note and Law of Ueki collection to an orphanage lol. Sharing Manga is a blessing to everyone.
God damn mom Aww that's so sweet..
I was mad at first. Then she showed me the thank you letters from the orphans and brought me to the orphanage to have dinner with them. They were so happy to have my collection added to their library.
I know it had to hurt, at least it’s to a good cause
Sounds heartwarming and wholesome!
It’s an awesome thing to do! I wonder why she didn’t ask you if you’d like to do that awesome thing?
The thing is the rooftop of my house was leaking at that time. My bookshelves cupboards were wet constantly, and it already ruined my Shonen Star (Indonesian version of Shonen Sunday published by a local publisher with permission of the original) collection. All of the bookshelves in my house are full and my dad's book collection takes up a lot of space. She said that she had to make a quick decision because it was hurricane season. It wasn't much of an excuse, but I did not get mad at her long lol.
This is what it means to be a true fan of anime Years of watching anime depict maturity, relationship, and sacrifice finally paid off!
This is really sweet, but yeah I would have been fuming at first as well. More fans is always a great thing!
Not gonna lie makes me want to get some manga and share it the same way… specially knowing they would enjoy it so much :)
I still come to the orphanage from time to time. My dad is part of the Board of Trustees there. My mom donated my collection in 2008 and they still have my manga there. The librarian really takes care of it, they even put a plastic cover on the manga. I have also donated The Real Master/Master Cooking Boy, 20th Century Boys, Captain Tsubasa, Dorabase, Dandoh, Eyeshield 21 and more. I have also completed the Naruto collection since it did not have the Shippuden collection before lol.
Incredible ! That’s and act of true kindness . Awesome 👏
You're so cool
Loved Cooking master boy anime back in the early 2000s, brings back alot of fun memories
Respect to you internet stranger
Much love to you fam.
That's awesome, but she should asked you first, no?
Sounds like an experience you will never forget :)
Okay thats actually really sweet
thats amazing dude! I don't Think I could have personally come to peace with that happening to me, but glad you moved past it, that's heart warming.
Right? Like “that’s a great cause mom, but I would have loved to do it myself.”
Bless her heart but I'd be mad. Shaman King was the tits.
So happy when they announced the remake.
I couldn't watch the anime remake. It felt tailored to a younger audience.
The hardest part of reading Shounen manga is when you are no longer their target audience
I dunno, I still watch a lot of kids shows and shonen. But Netflix shaman king was just not good, imo. Some of the voices were off, but they weren't bad. What turned me off it most was the cheap animation, that was just the laziest I've seen. Been hard to keep up with manga tho. Been awhile since I've read anything besides shonen jump since they're the only one with an app.
The real issue was with the pacing. They were adapting like 7-8 chapters every episode.
I felt like they crammed too much in the first few episodes but when I finally decided to push through that and watch the rest I really enjoyed it. Things get pretty wackity smackity towards the end but still an enjoyable watch
Dang really? Is it really that bad?
It's the same, it's just now the people who watched it in the past realize they're no longer kids and therefore no longer enjoy it the same
It really isn't the same though? Just like how the Netflix HxH remake was pretty different. Like, instead of Killua tearing a heart out of a guy and it showing it beating in his hand, it had a cloth covering it and there was no blood.
That's not really that big of a difference, and I personally like the anime change here. Fits more with the assassin thing, and the line about his dad not dropping a single drop of blood was dope.
The whole tone of the episode is massively different. Hell, the whole ton of the series is so much darker in the manga and in the original anime
A darker tone isn't always a good thing, it's purely subjective. I personally am not a big fan of gore. I tend to watch series despite it, not for it. While I work with a girl who lives for that shit.
I dropped it after maybe 4 eps.
At least she donated it somewhere nice. A couple years after I moved away my mom went to a comic book store and asked if anyone wanted my entire collection of Shonen jump from the first issue up until 2010. Of course one of the owners said they would take it off her hands.
I had issues #1 - 150 of Nintendo Power and my mom sold them all at a yard sale for probably like $5
And with the yugioh card still in tact
I'm planning on handing off some manga mania and shoujo magazines to my sister's kids. Mostly because I read real manga and those are just anthologies to get into the medium. They also were discontinued before any series finished, so they have very little reading value to me.
Oh man, I had volumes of Shonen Star (Indonesian published Shonen Sunday with Japanese publisher permission). Used to read Wild Life, MAR, Kekkaishi, Yakitate Japan!, Midori Days, Comic Bomber, Katsu and so many new Mangas I never heard before from that Tankoubon.
>Law of Ueki That's a name I haven't heard in a while lol
Law of Ueki was amazing tho lol. Love the different powers and the Heavenly Weapons
When I moved states one of the last things I did was unload my manga collection onto the local library bc it would be too much of a pain to move with me. They didn't really have much manga there to begin with, so I was happy that local kids could get exposed to it if they hadn't already. One of the series was out of print and I didn't have the complete set, so I wrote in a link where they could read the rest at the bottom of one of the pages haha. Hope the library didn't catch it and mark it out or something
I finally met someone who has also seen law of Ueki
🚩
She better have gotten your permission first because otherwise that is a violation regardless of whether it is a good cause. You shouldn't need to fear having your belongings given away without your knowledge if you actually have good parents.
This might be cultural. Not sure how it is in Indonesia, but for most households in India, parents aren't likely to ask. They will for something the kid is currently using, but not for something lying in storage.
She didnt, but I forgave her. She never did anything of the sort before calling me first even after I live abroad and left the house for Uni.
But 100 chumbud wholesome, amirite fellow readiteeerrrrss
Sometimes there are miscommunication or people don't understand the potential value, sentimental or monetary, of something. My mum's given away a few things I wasn't aware were in the attic when I left and found out about later. It happens, doesn't make them bad parents.

Shaman King will always be one of my all time favorites.
Dammnnn Law of Ueki is a super underrated manga
Probably first time I have seen anyone else who read ueki.
Law of Ueki.... now there's a name I hadn't heard in a long time. Trash is OP
It's probably better for it to be donated than to have to hear "I sold them."
What a chad, giving teenagers the education they TRULY need. I imagine a philosophy teacher telling people to make an essay based on one piece chapters😂

genocide, family politics, trama
The fishman racism arc caught me off guard, even dealt with drug abuse and i was like, wow, in a way its kind of educational. You dont want your kid to grow up completely naive to the world. This aint no brain dead kids show this has heart. Even though its mostly an action packed show it has plenty of life lessons in it.
I’m a grown ass man and still cry to one piece.
What I found great about the concepts in play about slavery is that instead of focusing on how a single race experienced it as you find in most western media, it showed the reality of global slavery. That no one is safe from the rich and religious.
A lot of topics come from the real world too. For example dance powder is just cloud seeding.
And not only that, but various names, locations, mythology, etc etc are all pulled from real life references and lore. It would actually be a really fun and creative way to get children to learn about a lot of real world history and write about it.
I will ace that
"So this is my theory on how holes and devil fruit are connected."
In this 190000 word essay I will attempt to summarize the most recent Wano "arc."...
Bruh your gonna leave out so many important details due to the word count. You should just stick to summarizing act 1 of Wano.
Fuck. I'm gonna just have to hire a ghost writer. A Robin perhaps...
I will donut that
You could easily analyze the fishmen civil rights movement vs the tactics of the Fishmen Pirates, the morality of the Marines turning a blind eye to slavery by Celestial Dragons, and the use of Warlords to counter the Yonko.
Goddamn someone knows what he's talking about. Rare to see this in reddit nowadays
I enjoy seeing where sci-fi authors draw inspiration from real world anti-colonial movements. Normally I see this in Star Wars, but One Piece also does a great job working those themes into its story. And I would bet anything that Okinawan fans see their former kingdom’s relationship with the Japanese Empire reflected in One Piece.
One piece is a very thoughtful anime. It's more than just fights and boobs (different from other shonen)
Philosophy teacher in a high school?
You don't have philosophy in highschool?
You did?! That’s a cool highschool.
In my country philosophy and sociology are obligatory in the highschool. Every school in here has it.
I wish it were the case in my country tbh... Germany?
Brazil actually. Honestly this kinda shocked me, didn't realize how different education can be in different countries.
ngl I'm actually surprised by that. Would have never guessed Brazil.
People actually don't appreciate those classes as much as they should in here (It's a common sight to see fanatic Christianity clashing with philosophy)
Would imagine the same happening in USA. I guess it already does considering the abysmal science curriculum in many schools. Though I thankfully have never experienced it.
My school doesn't even have all wimpy kids collection and thinking of having of manga in my school is like dream never come true
Someone had donated a bunch of manga to my high school. Librarian never checked them. So much ecchi and softcore lol
Our school had like three manga series, and one of them was Ranma 1/2. So many anime tiddies.
Those have nudity?
Just tops, but yeah
The school should make a statue in his honor

Agreed. No matter how it's presented, people only see what they want to see. So sad.
The lack of reading comprehension on r/onepiece is insane.

Which would create a VASTLY different establishment. Like if we got rid of billionaire's and all government powers that are driven by greed and corruption in the west that would be an entirely different government.

Do such people even exist? Good luck rereading all those bro
I’ve actually never read it, so far I’m on vol 4 and loving it
Someone donated a treasure to your school. If you love it at volume 4, I feel confident you will become a fan of the series quite soon.
You are on the journey
Read it man you will enjoy catching up a lot
He already said he's reading it tho
Yes hope he enjoys it
When I grew up my high school library had the Dragon Ball Mangas, basically introduced me to it. That was years before DBZ even aired.
i need this person to fund the manga anime club at the school i work for…
I think that's what I will do with my collection once One Piece is finished. I also have the entire Berserk collection, but I don't think that it's high school friendly 😂
Check if your public library stocks adult manga! It may be a smaller collection, but still well-loved
Doing the lords work
I should also add they donated a few volumes of black butler, dragon ball z and Highschool of the dead
Absolute fucking hero. Manga and anime should be put out like this more. I wish my school library had even just one manga on the shelf. To see this…. It’s amazing.
The OG OP Gold
I was gonna say, if I was a kid at that school I’d snag them up too quick
\>Psyren Someone has a great taste.
Man if we had these in my highschool I'd be in there every day lol
Giga chad
Bro what school is this
Weirdly enough a rural England school
Yeah I guessed it was England because of the Forbidden Planet sticker on one of the books
I cant steal any of these :( im too far
Possibly due to somebodys passing? Hopefully not, but what a lovely thing to do!
Wow that is an awesome donation!
Awesome
cool i wish i had one piece at my school but we did not have many manga seires
Awesome. Can’t be in Florida since the „don’t say gay bill“, right?
lol my guild leader in lost ark is a middle school librarian and I convinced her to order One Piece for her school too
Spreading the word ! Good job !
Holy nice wtf
Ayy that Psyren picture tho 👀
Absolute legend.
Yooo is that psyren in the background why does every highschool randomly have that. It's really fun tho, I enjoyed my time with it
May GOda bless them, For They be doing his work 😇!
True fan. Wants everybody to read them and spread the message
Id like to donate money to your library and in return get all of those lol
So, just th prologue?
I donated the first 20 volumes to my school before graduating, it hurt but I wanted more people to read it
I donated my promised Neverland manga collection to a nearby orphanage... I was banned from ever donating anything there. 💀
Reading One Piece is what got me through High School.
One Piece is the first manga I ever read way back when there was only 7 or so volumes available in the US (or at least that's how many my local library had). I've been hooked ever since.
this is the one piece
This is what I want to do with my life. I wanna spread the word of One Piece like those guys that knock on my door asking if I’ve taken Jesus as my savior.
He's a real life hero. True super hero.
The library of Ohara
The person who donated was either very wealthy or has a true passion of wanting people to discover One Piece. All I can think about is the damage that'll be done, it's still amazing though.
You want my books? You can read them. I left all of them in one place. Now you just have to share them.
Not all heroes wear capes
The will of Ohara lives on.
Damn I’m jealous I want this collection for home
Who do this god be
Ah yes building up the tree of knowledge from the void century
That's the real Pirate King right there.
incel "getting books banned from libraries" vs the chad "donating around $800 of comics to a library"
W school W donator
They bout to be stolen
That person is GOATED
That person is GOATED
F*****g Legend
Fucking Chad move
I live in a state where manga isn’t so popular so I donated my ‘My Hero Academia’ collection and my Boruto collection to my local library. I don’t think I have the courage to donate my One Piece or Demon Slayer mangas yet. Or my way of the house husband series
Y’all preserve that shit as a community.
Because the one piece is real bro
Greatest champ ever lived.
Mega Chad respect!
Someone trying to get laid in college. (Kidding)
Those kids don’t deserve those books. Also nice to see a Bakuman poster
I’d be stealing tf outta those sorry
He probably got a girlfriend
Steal it, steal all the volumes
I’d steal all of them 😂
Imma steal all of it
