One Piece's 'Prototype' Romance Dawn to be Animated
posted on by Egan Loo
This year's 32nd issue of One Piece series. Oda drew Romance Dawn as two separate pirate stories that ran in Weekly Shonen Jump's Summer Special issue and 41st issue of 1996. Both stories featured a young pirate named Monkey D. Luffy as the main character, but were otherwise much different from each other and the actual One Piece manga that launched in 1997. Oda named One Piece's first installment "Romance Dawn" after these earlier manga stories. The two Romance Dawn one-shot manga stories have been republished in the One Piece Red and Wanted books.
Weekly Shonen Jump's 32nd issue has also revealed the name of the tour's new Blue Dragon. The tour will stop at 10 Japanese cities from September 21 to November 23.
