One Piece in Sweden

One Piece in Sweden
In Sweden One Piece has been out in manga form since 2003 and still going strong after 45 volumes. Since about volume 35 the big publishing house Bonnier Carlen decided to release One Piece at most 6 times a year to not catch up with the Japanese release of the manga, that just passed over 50 volumes. The anime is yet to be shown on tv, which probably never will happen.

The manga is translated from Japanese to Swedish by Simon Lundström, Swedish manga expert and translator.

Many names are translated from it's original Japanese form to Swedish. For example; Kokoro is named Hjärta (Heart) in Swedish and Mr. 2 Bon Kurei is named Herr 2 Hägg 'o' Syrén which means something like "Mr 2 Bird cherry 'n' lilac".
