Can I get some opinions on these?

Brian Powered
One Piece

Thanks in advance!

I've read One Piece #1...I liked it pretty good. If you like it, you might also consider Rave Master.

BOOSTER: What? THIS thing's a cake?

(in response to an interview question "Do you have a pet peeve having to do with this biz?")
People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

I'd definitely go with One Piece. I stopped buying Brain Powered after the second issue because of boredom. However, One Piece is one of the best shonen mangas out there. And, I agree with Inkhana, if you like One Piece and adventure, you'll definitely like Rave Master - it's my favorite.

[size=84][color=seagreen]YOU SEE


You see into the deepest part of me ---

beyond the fog I hide behind.

You cast your light upon the shadows

that stretch like cobwebs in my mind.

You ease the pain when I am hurting,

and morbid visions from my past

pierce into the realm of Reason

as though I danced on blades of glass.

You grant me strength when I have fallen

and, once again, I've lost my way.

You take my hand in Yours and lead me

into the promise of a brand new day.

You bring order to all my chaos,

yet set my well-laid plans awry.

You place me on a firm foundation ---

then give me wings so I can fly.

You sand away my roughened edges

and polish all the dullest parts

until I stand before Your presence...

a newly-sculpted work of art.

You see into the heart within me,

right through my motives and selfish will.

And yet, in spite of all You see

You say You love me even still.

One Piece. Definately a good story and a fun premise.

Along with everyone else, I would go with One Piece. I cannot speak about Brain Powered, but it would have to be extremely good to compete with one of the hottest mangas currently in Japan.

One Piece has decent main characters and development, decent battle sequences, decent humor and some of the strangest villains you have ever laid eyes upon. I'd suggest it to anyone who likes shonen.
