It is never too late to start your One Piece journey, but, with over 1000 chapters to work your way through, it is easy to feel too intimidated to make a start. While we love the convenience of the Shonen Jump app, nothing beats the feel of a real manga in your hands. So, if you want to get your hands on plenty of One Piece volumes to get you started without spending your whole rent payment thanks to the Amazon Black Friday Sale.

The first three One Piece Box Sets are all on sale at a heavy discount on Amazon this weekend, with savings ranging from 31% to 45% off. That is the good news; the bad news is that they will still cost you over $130 per box set. However, if you’ve got the cash they are a great way to enjoy One Piece as Eiichiro Oda intended.

Each One Piece box set includes 23 volumes. Normally they are $249.99 each, but on Black Friday, Amazon is offering them for:

One Piece Box Set 1 - $168.26 (31% savings)

One Piece Box Set 2 - $134.18 (45% savings)

One Piece Box Set 3 - $134.18 (47% savings)

Getting all three will let you read some of the best arcs in One Piece’s long, iconic run. Thriller Bark, Alabasta, and (one of my all-time favorites) Drum Island. If you want to get caught up before season two of the Netflix series introduces the adorably horrific Tony Tony Chopper, Amazon’s Black Friday Sale is the time to do it.
