1 Day Countdown to Jun’s Birthday

by Fiona


The dorky, kawaii Jun (from Bambino)


BTW, I had just finished watching the new One Piece movie and absolutely adore it. I love how the film had highlighted the dedication between the Mugiwara pirates — their friendship and teamwork are unrivaled. Though, the storyline is clinched (damsel in distress), it was filled with laughs, action and awesome attire. I simply love Oda-sensei’s costume designs especially the formal, mafia-like ones. I highly recommend it, consider this as the last adventure that Luffy will experience before the timeskip occurs.

One Piece – Luffy featured on the cover of men’s fashion magazine

by Fiona

No, I’m not joking! Luffy is the first-ever manga character to be featured in a men’s fashion magazine. As a manga and anime fan, I found this truly awesome! He is going to the ambassador to the fashion world — Eat that Naruto LOL.

Monkey D. Luffy, the hero of Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece pirate manga and anime franchise. will adorn the cover of the January issue of Shueisha’s Men’s Non-No fashion magazine when it ships on Thursday. This is the first time that a manga character has been on the cover in the magazine’s 24-year history. It is also the first time that Oda has drawn a cover image for a magazine that is not a manga magazine. Not coincidentally, Shueisha also publishes Weekly Shonen Jump magazine, the home of the One Piece manga.

Shinichi “Miter” Mita was the stylist responsible for Luffy’s look on Men’s Non-No’s cover, although Luffy did retain his trademark straw hat. The first eight pages of the magazine will be devoted to photographs of five models who resemble the characters Luffy, Nami, Robin, Zoro, and Sanji. The models donned clothes with the motifs of the sea and pirates for the magazine.

Two days after the Men’s Non-No magazine issue with the Luffy cover hits newsstands, One Piece Film Strong World will open in Japanese theaters. Besides the cover and the model photoshoot, the issue will carry interviews with Oda and Olympic gold-medal-winning swimmer (and One Piece Film Strong World guest voice actor) Kōsuke Kitajima. Unlike previous One Piece films, Oda has been personally overseeing the new film’s production.
