Around...five years ago now, my brother began to try to convince
me to read a certain series about pirates. I was already into some manga, and
in particular it was around the height of my enjoyment of Bleach, so it wasn't
that big a leap, but I will admit, I just couldn't get into it. While it was
sort of fun at the beginning, the pacing of the arcs was pretty slapshod, the
art style was pretty dull and all the fights ended with the main character
Luffy curbstomping the villain. After about thirty chapters, I gave up on it
and didn't read it again for about six months.
Classically, it turns out I quit right at the wrong time.
