Making Eiichiro Oda jealous is not as easy as it sounds.
I tried to read the ENTIRE One Piece in 24 hours
Eiichiro Oda is considered among the richest mangakas, and One Piece is one of the most popular anime ever. It often makes people jealous of his success. But it's not just the fans who are jealous of him. The mangaka was also jealous of another famous mangaka. The latter's art style made him question how good anyone can be. Despite being jealous, he did the unthinkable.
The One Piece creator was extremely jealous of Naoshi Arakawa's Your Lie In April. It follows the music genre and became a huge hit when it was released. The anime adaptation also received global recognition. While One Piece has sold millions of copies of its manga, Oda sensei may be the sole reason for half of the manga sales of Your Lie In April.
There are several times when the One Piece creator was inspired by another great mangaka, but getting jealous is completely new. At first, Oda sensei bought the first volume of Your Lie In April. After that, there was no stopping him. He began to suffer from jealousy. Although his masterpieces have magic numbers, Arakawa's work impressed him. It was incredible how expressive his characters were.
