The One Piece anime is back! But I am still in the Wano arc as of writing this.  Anyway, I finally read One Piece: Heroines Volume 2 ! Just like the first one, this follows a bunch of short stories about different girls from the One Piece universe. The girls this time are: Boa Hancock, Tashigi, Reiju, and Uta. We also get a bonus chapter of Nami and Robin! My favorite story is Uta's story--it was really sweet! My second favorite was Reiju's because it made me emotional. Tashigi's story is cool, too, and so is Nami and Robin's. I didn't really like Hancock's story--it was a little odd. So I gave the book 4.5 stars . But if you're a One Piece fan like me, you'll probably like this too! I heard that the Heroine's novels are getting an adaptation soon, coming out this July.      

  As a One Piece fan, I had to pick these up. This is not going to be like my typical reviews since there isn't much to say about these two books. I also can't get too into them because I know not everyone here has read or watched One Piece. Wanted! is just a compilation of random comic stories that creator Eichiro Oda wrote before he officially started One Piece. The last comic, Romance Dawn, is basically a rough draft for One Piece! i gave it 4 stars . One Piece Heroines Volume 1 is a light novel of stand alone stories set in the world of One Piece following four of the female characters: Nami, Robin, Vivi, and Perona. They are pretty lighthearted, so they're great for reading if you want a break from the intensity of the main One Piece storyline.  Or if you're in the mood for something more chill. I gave it 5 stars .
