User blog comment:Raptor of Love/How did you get into One Piece ?!/@comment-1327392-20111213113546

Basically, I was really sick early last year and I had already read Bleach and Naruto numerous times and was looking for a new manga to read. Until that point I had avoided One Piece because I foolishly thought that it was childish and stupid and couldn't compare to Naruto and Bleach! Now my opinions are reversed!

After 50 chapters, I was hooked! Then I spent the next two weeks alternating between reading an arc in the manga, then watching the anime version, so as to "prolong the magic" so to speak. And I've been following week to week for about a year and a half now.
