VIZ Media has published One Piece in English under the Shonen Jump imprint since Januand in 3-in-1 omnibus editions since December 1, 2009. In 2012, it won the 41st Japan Cartoonists Association Award Grand Prize, alongside Kimuchi Yokoyama's Neko Darake. The series was a finalist for the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize three times in a row from 2000 to 2002. Volume 67 of the series currently holds the record for highest first print run of any manga (including books) of all time in Japan, with 4.05 million in 2012. Mangas marked by an asterisk (*) are the ones I really liked.One Piece is the highest selling manga series of all time, with over 430 million copies in circulation as of 2017. That generally isnt because I didnt feel like reading them, but because that's all the available translations of that manga at the time I was reading it, or because it is an ongoing manga that keeps adding more chapters that I hadnt read at the time 2015 ended.

You'll notice that many of these have "thru ch xx" listed. Full disclosure: This list also includes everything read from sometime around Thanksgiving 2014 through to 2015, so there's an extra 6 weeks of fun included, free of charge! As I mentioned in the Book List, I've mostly been reading manga this year.
