Author's Notes

Author's Comments (作者コメント) or Author's Notes are short introductions that mangaka traditionally add to the dust jacket of each collected volume of their manga.

Overview
The Author's Notes that Eiichiro Oda writes for volumes of One Piece are usually irrelevant to the series itself, instead relaying bizarre daydreams, anecdotes, and/or jokes. Each Note is headed with an original drawing by Oda (or, more rarely, a photograph) that is somehow related to the topic, along with Oda's full name.

Similar Author's Notes can also be found on "unofficial" volumes, such as the databooks (where they are provided from the Straw Hat Pirates' in-universe perspective).

In the Viz adaptation of the volumes, the Author's Notes section is placed on the very first page.
