ONE PIECE 巻百八 〝死んだ方がいい世界〟 by Eiichiro Oda
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Damn it, Oda!

I'm catching up again, but just when I thought it might just be non-stop SF action on Vengapunk's high tech island, with an epic battle between Luffy and Kizaru, we get thrown into a heavy, sweet, and gorgeous flashback featuring none other than Kuma.

Kuma.

So. After reading that, I broke into tears. Oda has a real talent for causing a massive release of emotion in his readers. In me.

And now I'm raging. I really, really hate the world government. Fascism in its purest form, right here.

I just can't get over how good the writing is. It completely re-interprets all the huge scenes from before, deepens everything, and makes me CARE so much.

To my synesthesia, it reads like a cherry lollipop--if the only memory I had of cherry lollipops were the ones that were given to me when I was a child by the biggest, sweetest, bear of a father figure in my life. The father figure who would sacrifice everything and anything to save me--and does.


Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to DM requests. I think it's about time I get some eyes on them.
