Boichi
261 books137 followersIntending to be a manga artist from his childhood days, majored in physics in college as preparation to draw science fiction works, and also to learn the technology of performance and imaging, went on to graduate school to major in image technology.
In 1993, while still enrolled, debuted in a Korean shoujo manga magazine. Since then, he gained popularity releasing a number of works and publishing books on how to draw manga targeting a wide range of reader.
In 2004 he stepped into the world of Japanese manga. His “Ultimate Space Emperor Caesar”, serialized in Monthly “Comic Gum”, was his first tankōbon in Japan.
In 2005, 9 out of Boichi’s 11 hentai one-shot serialized in Comic Aun were reunited under the volume titled “Lover in Winter”.
In 2006, he released two science fiction one-shot, “Hotel” and “Present” which, in 2008, were compiled in a volume titled Hotel along the other one-shots “It was all for the tuna”, “Stephanos” and “Diadem”.
2006 is the year of Boichi’s first serialized manga: “Sun Ken Rock” in the bi-weekly magazine Young King. This manga will also have a side-story based on Yumin in 2011 and one based on Pickaxe in 2012. 2012 will also see the serialization of “I want to feed Yumin”, another spin-off of Sun Ken Rock based on Yumin and serialized in “Monthly Young King”.
Boichi also worked on a 5 volume long manga titled Raqiya and written by Masao Yajima where he was in charge of the art and published in 2009. He also only did the art of the Brutality one-shot by Takeda Yuusuke in 2007.
In later 2011, he started the serialization of another manga titled “H.E the hunt for energy” in a new monthly magazine: Jump X. In this year, he won the Gran Guinigi prize for “It was all for the Tuna”.
To express his sentiment towards Vietnam and apologize for Korea’s action during the war, Sun Ken Rock volume 2′s royalties were donated to the humanitarian organization “Child of Viet Nam”. He asked Korean manga artists to contribute towards drawing a support page for Japan in regards to 2011′s big earthquake, and giving the royalties from the proceeding to the Red Cross. He also donated the money he planned to use to buy a new car towards helping tsunami victims.

One Piece disegnato da Boichi.
C'è davvero bisogno di aggiungere altro?
Direi proprio di no.

Omg Ace’s story is SO COOL! I loved this look into his determination and his journey outside of Luffy’s. Boichi’s style weirdly really fits the world of One Piece and I thought the characters looked AMAZING!
Zolo’s fight with Mihawk is a nice little revamped version in Boichi’s art style, and the content itself is phenomenal so a great addition.

Les dessins sont magnifiques, Boichi a fait honneur à l’incroyable histoire qu’est One Piece. Et quel plaisir de retrouver Portgas D. Ace qui aurait mérité de prendre une plus grande place dans la trame principale. Boichi et Oda sont deux grands artistes. 🥹🥹🥹

It is an incredibly fanfic-y origin story of the older Yakuza brother of Luffy, but it's done so well.
The art style of Boichi works surprisingly well for the world of One Piece as sometimes people look absolutely gorgeous & sometimes the goofy stuff is emphasized exquisitely.
What isn't emphasized as much is that there's a redrawn chapter of the canon storyline (Zoro vs Mihawk) and of course, it looks freakin' fantastic. A friend of mine mentioned that since my first exposure to Boichi's work was...triple-x rated, the dude must also be great at illustrating action scenes. Most definitely true, as that was one thrilling swordfight depicted in the bright, hi-def, still images drawn by a beast!
Hoping 2nd volume is just as good!

Fun little origin story drawn by the Dr. Stone artist. I liked the first chapter a lot! The rest of the volume is what is basically covered in the anime. The side story with Zolo/Zoro at the end was nice!

Les dessins sont magnifiques et, pr les fans de OP, cela apporte des éléments au récit principal (sur ce qui est passé et sur ce qui arrive) !

I miss ace so much. Also nothing better than OP x Dr stone combine

Banger Boichi Art 🔥
Seeing Ace is always nice, especially in this art style.
The formation of the Spade pirates and the story of how Ace met his first mate and more importantly how he acquired his Flame-Flame Fruit was awesome.
A lot of legendary panels here, especially those double-spreads like Jinbe’s, whitebeard’s, and Rayleigh’s faces.
Ace meeting Shanks, fighting Jinbe, getting shrekt by old man WB, meeting Ray Ray, was quite the journey.
As a bonus we got the fantastic Zoro vs Mihawk remastered which I have read a few years ago but was still fantastic to reread in physical format

Sin saber absolutamente nada de One piece igual se entiende y se conecta con el personaje así que okei, pero por ratos me desespera su impulsividad amigo baja dos cambios y habla con Deuce 😭

Beautiful art and they've kept well to the story of the novels! They also included Zoro's fight with Mihawk which was really pretty as well! Would definitely recommend.
I have noticed that in all the manga's of one piece that I own and this manga as well that Zoro's name is written wrong, instead of Zoro it's written as Zolo. thought I'd let you know.

i'm afraid i can't even attempt an honest review... ace is one of my top five one piece characters probably (plus i still can't get over marineford...), and i really can't get enough. i wish we could see even more of him.
update after reading again: my god i love ace so much. that's my whole review, that's all i could think about. i miss him so much.
(4,5/5)

REVIEW
➽ I'm currently watching Marineford, so I wanted to check out Ace's story for more background information. I decided to read the Manga adaptation as I heard some mixed things about the light novel this is based on. That was a good decision as I loved the art style and thought the format of Ace's friend Masked Deuce telling their story worked well visually! Both of them meet on an abandoned island that they desperately want to escape. I liked Ace when we met him during the Alabasta Saga, but I'm sad that we didn't get to see much of him, which is why I loved seeing the origins of his pirate journey. Masked Deuce is his first crewmember when they end up escaping and the foundation of the Spade pirates. We also get to see how Ace ate his Devil Fruit! Because they were hungry, they divided the mysterious fruit they found into two halves, but since Ace took the first bite, only he got the fire powers!
➽ I really liked seeing Deuce's and Ace's friendship and first adventures on the Grand Line. I wish we'd see the recruitment of the other members though, as the rest of the crew didn't get any story or personality. Suddenly, they're all together as the Spade pirates, but the moments in between are missing. I wish we'd gotten more volumes in Ace's story as it would have been great to give his other crewmembers some depth like in the original story with the Strawhwats! Instead, we get glimpses of Ace sailing with his crew and visiting some places we've already seen such as the Sabaody Archipelago. Ace has lofty goals as he's determined to defeat Whitebeard. It was interesting seeing how he met Jimbe, as they're locked away together during the Impel Down Arc!

Chronique complète :
https://sunread26.wordpress.com/2023/...
Extrait :
Contrairement à la série principale, je n’ai pas été spoilé sur ce titre, ce qui m’a donné envie le découvrir par moi-même (là où j’ai arrêté la série principale à force d’être spoil). Chose qui m’a également attirer, le fait que les dessins sont réalisés par Boichi, un auteur que j’apprécie beaucoup pour sa qualité graphique (un peu moins pour le ecchi et le design des lèvres de certaines protagonistes, mais passons). Ce spin off est donc un bon moyen d’en découvrir un peu plus sur le personnage d’Ace.
Prévu pour ne faire que 2 volumes, il ne faut donc pas s’attendre à avoir autant de détails que pour l’intrigue principale. Il y a sûrement plusieurs raisons à ce choix, entre autres que Boichi à d’autres séries en cours à réaliser, il ne peut donc pas s’engager sur un partenariat trop long… surtout que la série n’est pas à lui. Toutefois, je trouve l’idée de ce partenariat très originale et intéressante, elle permet de faire revivre un bout d’une série avec une autre plume graphique, tout en faisant un peu de publicité à cet artiste. Pour un titre connu comme One piece, qui a eu droit à une évolution graphique indéniable, je trouve ça encore plus épique de retrouver les personnages avec la plume de Boichi connu pour ses détails. Certes, cela déroute un peu au début, mais le design original des personnages est très bien respecté selon moi.
Pour le contenu, comme je l’ai indiqué, il n’y aura que deux tomes, ce qui est assez bref pour résumer toutes ses aventures. Ce premier tome porte sur le rencontre avec son second, puis sur quelques péripéties quelconques avant sa fameuse rencontre avec Barbe Blanche. Le second tome parlera sûrement des raisons qui l’ont fait rejoindre son équipage, et aussi, de sa fin tragique, car tout début mérite une fin. Ace étant un personnage très apprécié, ce n’était qu’une question de temps avant qu’un spin off à son sujet ne sorte, pour le moment j’ignore s’il sera réussi, mais ce premier tome commence déjà bien, et je trouve les intrigues choisies suffisante pour ce qu’est la série : un spin off.

Loose thoughts:
- I assume that you're up-to-date with the main series of One Piece, otherwise: Spoiler alert.
- Didn't know what I expected going in, but the pacing is wayy too fast. There are too many comedic moments in there that felt crammed in die the sake of having comedic moments and not just the two protagonists and situation playing off of each other naturally.
- The emotions of especially of the masked guy are too instable/over the top, too fast. Like chill, I know you're dying on an island, but he acts like a child. An impulse, emotional brat.
- I don't feel like this Ace has the same energy like the original. Sometimes he seems too relentless, other times too stoic. Again: The author goes overboard with trying to make him seem cool so it ends up feeling too tryhard. Even the fact that he could ace (pun intended) his first finger-shots of fire even though he was unaware of his powers a second before, just doesn't make any sense. And then he seems to already know it, taking away from my expectation that most devil fruit powers aren't general knowledge and robbing me of a more surprised reaction of Ace.
- The Mera Mera no mir being spit out in a chest from a random Boss-like monster seems like a rare drop from a JRPG.
- While the really detailed and intricate drawings are rather cumbersome in action scenes and make them hard to read, they shine in much calmer moments of backgrounds and close-up shots of characters or like the one of the Mera Mera no mi.
- The additional One Piece cover story was quite nice. Id had similar issues, but at least I could tolerate the crazy emotions much more, because it wasn't two characters that just met each other.

„One Piece“ gehört nicht nur seit jeher zu meinen liebsten Animes, sondern auch die Mangas haben es mir angetan. Umso mehr freut es mich, dass es mit "Episode A1" eine weitere Zusatz-Dilogie gibt, die speziell für Fans von Ace erschienen ist. Meine Erwartungen waren enorm hoch und ich wurde zum Glück nicht enttäuscht.
In "Episode A1" wird die Geschichte von Ruffys Bruder Puma D. Ace, kurz Ace, erzählt. Im ersten von zwei Bänden geht es um die Anfänge, in denen Ace seine Crew zusammenstellt und dabei auf Deuce trifft, der ihm, nachdem beide auf einer einsamen Insel gestrandet und von dieser entkommen sind, als loyaler Freund zur Seite steht. Dabei geht es nicht nur darum, wie Ace zum Piraten wird, sondern auch, welche Ziele er verfolgt, wie er an die Teufelsfrucht gekommen ist und somit seine Feuerfähigkeit erhalten hat.
Neben der eigentlichen Geschichte rund um Ace gibt es auch ein zusätzliches Goodie, denn Boichi hat seine Version von „Lorenor Zorro fällt ins Meer“ aus Kapitel 51 nacherzählt. Dies ist zwar nicht unbedingt ein Muss, allerdings fand ich es dennoch ganz unterhaltsam und liebevoll gezeichnet.
Wer "One Piece" bereits als Manga gelesen oder als Anime gesehen hat, der kennt bereits zum Großteil die Geschichte von Ace und auch sein Verhältnis zu seinem Bruder Ruffy, dem Anführer der Strohhutbande. Dennoch ist "Episode A1" ein tolles Goodie für alle Fans des beliebten Charakters, dessen Schicksal mich sehr berühren konnte.
Wer also schon immer Ace' Geschichte in Manga-Form noch einmal erleben wollte, der ist bei "Episode A1" bestens aufgehoben, um noch mehr ins "One Piece"-Universum einzutauchen.

Este manga dibujado por Boichi es una adaptación de la novela de Ace, que incluye un capítulo del duelo de Zoro contra Mihawk en el Baratie.
En el manga no se puso tanto incapie con la unión de los diferentes miembros, incluso tampoco aparece Isuka, la marine que persigue a los piratas Spade en la primera parte del Grand Line. Todo eso es sacrificado para dar más incapie en la relación entre Ace y Deuce. Y en parte, está bien. Me gusta mucho la relación que tienen estos dos... Pero también me hubiera gustado que se viera un poco más del resto de la tripulación, como Ace acepta a todas las personas que son marginadas e Isuka es un personaje que me gusta mucho pese a que solo sale en la novela de Ace. Además, hay una escena entre estos tres que habría sido magistral verla dibujada.
Por otra, parte me gustó mucho la relación que entablaron Ace y Deuce en Silk y su encuentro con Rayleigh y Shanks, donde se nos enseña que Ace es muy parecido a Roger, por mucho que él no quiera reconocerlo. También la aparición de Jinbe y Newgate, personajes que amo y la interacción de Ace con los piratas de Barbablanca.
Me gustó mucho la reacción de Deuce al saber que Ace es hijo de Roger. Porque Deuce admira a Ace y le respeta y ve que Ace lo pasó mal por ser hijo de quién es. En general, Deuce es un personaje que me gustó mucho y me permitió entender a Ace.
Los acercamientos a los rostros o a Ace mirando las estrellas desde el Moby Dick me parecieron espectaculares.
La pelea de Zoro contra Mihawk se mantienen los dialogos y todo es exactamente igual, pero visto con planos diferentes. Lo cual es interesante.
Para leerlo, recomiendo haber llegado a Marineford o el arco del pasado dec Luffy, para entender mejor a Ace.
