Comic books☆




Recently I have begun to read ONE PIECE at last. haha:) ONE PIECE is a Japanese comic book. This comic book became a movie and an animated cartoon. Because a movie is a big seller, I thought that I would read this comic book.
The story is about nine characters who go on a long trip on a pirate boat. They are trying to reach "The Grand Line", a famous place for pirates. Each of them has a different reason for sailing. For example, the captain, Rufie, wants to be king of pirates. They have many adventures and are often separated, but they always get back together. On the way, they meet many different people and make many friends. They all have very big dreams and that is why they sail together.
In Japan, comic books have become part of mass culture. Large numbers of comic books are being published for people of all ages, boys, girls, businessmen, female office workers, and more. It is normal to see businessmen in suits reading comic books on the train. However, there are also comic books that are not just for entertainment. A recent newspaper survey found that about 93% of Japanese youths like to read comic books, but only 30% of American youths like them.
