Shonen Jump Editor Explains Why Naruto Surpassed One Piece Overseas
Boasting over 500 million copies, “One Piece” is an undeniable giant in the world of manga. This popular “Shonen Jump” series has navigated the seas for many years, and during its tenure, other series have risen to fame. For example, “Naruto” entered the scene after “One Piece” had started, and somehow managed to achieve global success even before Eiichiro Oda’s pirate story. Interestingly, some prominent editors at “Shonen Jump” attribute “Naruto’s” success over “One Piece” to its more dramatic narrative.
