About the author
Boichi
264 books140 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.

Ace’s story was phenomenal. Loved his duels with Whitebeard and learning how he accepted him as a father figure. It was really touching and the art was beautiful!
The Nami vs. Kalifa fight was…certainly a choice. Would rather have had a different fight redrawn, but oh well.

It did make me tear up Ace and Whitebeard's relationship is SO good and absolutely lovely. Again, don't love the art style but there were some absolutely beautiful scenes.

When finally confronted with the man he wants to beat in order to earn respect in the pirate world, Ace failed.
A lot.
Longtime readers of the epic pirate tale that is "One Piece" will see the parallel between a certain Trafalgar Law and Roronoa Zoro as these two young'uns had to contend with LIVING with the seemingly undefeatable men they want to defeat. What makes Ace's story so different tho is that while he could never actually beat the old man, they both developed a mutual respect for each other that led them to becoming family. Heck, the sharing-cups ceremony had all the pomp of a wedding or a bar mitzvah (wondering if that's really how they do it in mafia/triad/bratva/yakuza circles when someone's formally inducted into the criminal empire...).
But what with it being a prequel, we know the fates of these two men and the broken pieces (ie former crewmates) left behind. Fascinatingly, Ace's first mate still uses his silly fire-powered paddleboat-surfboard, despite there being no more source of endless flames. I understand he uses it to remember him by, but the worst thing would be him getting stranded on the ocean if he runs out of flame dials that held Ace's fire.
...
THEN THE REST OF THE BOOK IS A HIGHLY EROTIC & SAPPHIC REDRAWN FIGHT BETWEEN NAMI & CALIFA! BLESS THIS ABSOLUTE MADMAN OF AN ARTIST FOR MAKING WHAT WAS ALREADY A PRETTY SEX-CHARGED FIGHT AMPED UP TO 11!

I think I liked this one a little less than the first volume?
First and foremost I hated the redraw of Nami's fight in Enies Lobby. I don't like the way this artist draws women, so... yeah.
I loved getting more details about Ace joining the Whitebeard pirates. It was awesome. Though some characters (Marco) looked awful in my opinion. But there were little scenes that we didn't see in the main manga that we got to see here and I loved that : more interactions between Ace and Tatch, Marco dropping a sleeping Ace on an enemy ship is a personal favorite (this is now totally canon to me), proper fights between Ace, Ace burning his jolly roger and Whitebeard and and the adoption ceremony. But this felt like even less of a complete story than the first volume. I don't think we learn anything new about any of the characters here? Whatever, it was a nice treat !

Boichi’s art is so incredible, I love how he uses the double page spreads and I specifically love the shots of the ships on the oceans with the sky in the background. I didn’t read the novel version so idk if this is a good adaptation but I really enjoyed it and even tho it’s noncanon, I’ll consider some parts canon! Definitely a nice read if you’re caught up with One Piece and want more material :)) However I still can’t get over how Boichi draws women; he needs to go to jail !

Ace vs Whitebeard was peak.
Deuce and the crew visiting Ace was :(
Horrendous amounts of fanservice in the Nami fight though.

This was a quick two-volume series, so I read it exceptionally fast. And it was really, good, too. The origin story for Ace was fascinating and emotional and I loved it. That being said, I found the bonus story in this particular collection, with Nami v. Kalifa to be over-the-top, gratuitous, and quite frankly "too much". It's an exciting battle in the anime, but this was hard to read.

3⭐
Esta es la segunda parte del manga de Ace que empieza donde termina el anterior, además, de ser una adaptación de la novela de Ace.
Vemos la interacción de Ace con los piratas de Barbablanca, en especial, con Marco y Thatch. Marco por ser el segundo al mando de la tripulación y Thatch por los hechos que conllevarían al manga de Oda después. También aparece Barbanegra, dando indicios de lo que estaba persiguiendo. Y la interacción con Deuce y Ace, como Ace todavía tenía ganas de destruirlo todo y derrotar a Barbablanca y Deuce le aconsejaba. También de los diferentes intentos de Ace de atacar a Barbablanca y como Newgate ya lo quería parte de su tripulación y como si fuera su hijo.
La tripulación de Barbablanca es de mis favoritas y es un placer leer sobre ella.
La parte final es el duelo de Nami y Kalifa dibujado también por Boichi. Y me pareció que los personajes femeninos estaban bastante sexualizados. Por lo que no me gustó.
Recomiendo leerlo después de Marineford o el arco del pasado de Luffy.

For me, the bonus of the Nami vs Kalifa battle was an unnecessary edition. In the afterword, changes and cuts from the original novel of Ace’s story were mentioned as the adaptation to manga format was created. The bonus content could have been not included, if it would have given around 50 more pages to Ace’s story.

genuinely don't know how to rate this. the ace part was great as usual but the nami and califa fight ...jfc. i've watched over 1,000 episodes of one piece so i definitely have a tolerance for absolutely horrible anatomy on women at this point but this was something else. entirely unreadable. guess i'll say 5 stars for the first half and 1 star for the second half and split the difference at a 3.

Les dessins sont toujours aussi incroyables, et retrouver Ace fait plaisir ❤️

ace's personality is so perfectly shown here. i love him <3
i wish there was more to read.
ps: whitebeard is the absolute best.

I've had this for a while but finally read the second part of Ace’s Story, and... well.
Ace's Story is pretty good, even from the perspective of not really following One Piece, like... at ALL. The few things that call back to the main series don't really take away from the story if you don't get the references, I mean. I don't really understand the significance of , but it's clear they have a relationship in the main storyline that was forged here, with one last loose end tied up by the end of the story. Good stuff.
...then there's the Nami vs. Kalifa story afterward.
...which kills the good vibes by being complete and total fan service that doesn't have even the slightest bit to do with Ace's Story, just showcases how weird Boichi draws women... especially women while fan servicing. Wearing super-tight clothing. Covered in soap and/or water.
Does it tell a good story? NOPE. Just two women fighting, and FORTY-TWO PAGES OF IT. For ONE FIGHT. Even Ace's *ONE HUNDRED DUELS* didn't take this many pages!
No wait, I guess they could have. I didn't count. But still! 100 fights vs. ONE. And the 100 fights were broken up by other stuff!
On top of that, the afterword mentions regrets about having to cut scenes/characters from the light novel, and it's like... uh.......??? The "42 pages to rescue Robin" was more important? (Depends on who you ask, I guess.) Personally, I could have done without it.
Worth a read? If you're a fan of One Piece, sure! If you're a fan of Boichi suffering from Dr. STONE withdrawal... well, you're clearly not alone!

REVIEW
➽ After losing against Whitebeard, Ace is basically a prisoner of his crew. He rejects the offer to join and continues fighting Whitebeard no matter how many times he loses. I loved seeing how Whitebeard just takes this in stride and lets Ace wear himself out with their fighting. I didn't have any particular feelings on Whitebeard, but it was touching that he knew Ace needed the fights to grow stronger and gain a purpose. He's from an older generation and also sick, but Whitebeard doesn't back from giving Ace what he needs. His crew is his family, but he's waiting for Ace to accept his offer on his own terms.
➽ We also see Ace interact with other members of the crew. While we see his bond with the Masked Deuce as well, the focus of this volume is definitely on the Whitebeard pirates. The crew is amused at his dedication to fighting Whitebeard, but also begrudgingly accepts it. We see some of the other division commanders, such as Marco, Thatch and Teach. From the original saga, we already know everything that goes down with Thatch, Teach and the Darkness fruit later on, so it's bittersweet seeing Ace bond with Thatch. I loved the focus on found family in this volume, as Ace resents his biological father, Gold Roger, and how this connection makes him feel like a 'demon'. I already knew how his story ended, but seeing it again was heartbreaking. The ending made me quite emotional, as the Masked Deuce - who is an aspiring writer - is revealed to be the author of Ace's story, but refuses to sell it to anyone. Now only Luffy remains as Ace's legacy, the last embers of his flame.

Vou falar dos dois volumes!
Primeiro: POR QUE O ZORO TÁ NA CAPA??? ele sequer é citado kkkkkk
Segundo: gratuito, nojento, desnecessário e horrível essa luta da Nami e da Kalifa. Obviamente fan service pro desenhista desenhar ângulos sugestivos.
Okay, agora de verdade. QUE DESENHOS LINDOS!!! Sei que isso foi uma two-shot que não foi escrita nem desenhada pelo Oda mas dá pra ver todo o cuidado e admiração que eles tiveram com a história. (Claro que to pensando naquele erro SPOLIER: o cara comeu metade da akuma no mi do Ace certo? Então ele também não deveria ter poderes? Então ele não deveria ser rejeitado pelo mar? ELE Q SALVOU O ACE DO MAR) Eu to assistindo impel down bem no momento que li essa two-shot, foi a primeira vez que tive contato com jinbe (embora já sabia do posto do Shichibukai e que futuramente ele vai ser um mugiwara) e foi muito legal ver personagens que já conheço e conhecer mais do barba branca.
Não sei se levei um possível spoiler do barba branca morrer junto do ace mas-
ENFIM recomendado! Assim como eu, não leiam a parte final de Ennies Lobby, terminem com um jornalista e o mugiwara. Foi um ótimo final! S2

Such a good two volumes this was, after reading what was relayed about certain parts having to be cut from the LN, I don't really have a view on that as I haven't read the LN. However, I can say the manga was so good.
The art was great, and the story had me remembering the moments from the anime!
The two chapters that were redone in this art style! The previous volumes Mihawk and Zoro were great, and reading those iconic lines zoro says just brought back so much nostalgia feels it was great!
Then we have the one in the second volume, the Nami Vs Kalifa fight, I was rather confused why this was the chosen one, out of all the iconic fights this wouldn't have been one that came to mind, HOWEVER I now know the genius of this choice, some of those panels were CRAZY and if you have read it you know what I mean and if you haven't, check it out!

DIOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Qué buen manga, por favor. Lo único que lamento es que solo fueran dos tomos y no tres, porque siento que -llegado un punto- la historia se terminó muy rápido. Entiendo que querían poner el foco en la parte de Ace y Barbablanca peeeeeeerooo, si se tomaban un par de páginas más para desarrollar el cierre, nadie se iba a quejar.
¡En fin! Como fan de Ace, disfruté muchísimo esta historia. Además, me quedé más que contenta ya que mi otro personaje favorito de la serie es Nami y el capítulo extra está centrado en ella (tremenda pelea, aunque algunos dibujos me parecieron un poco muy sexualizados).
Súper recomendable a todos los fans de One Piece. Ahora me queda leer la novela <3

A very short part two of the backstory of Ace, Luffy's brother, a manga based on the novels.
This is all about Ace and his battles with Whitebeard, as Ace is captured and taken care of by Whitebeard and his crew. Ace continuously challenges and loses to Whitebeard, but is growing in strength and wisdom. Will he eventually beat Whitebeard, or will his motivations and goals change?
Also includes a bonus re-imagination of a fight between Naomi and Kalifa from the One Piece Enies Lobby arc, which unfortunately I haven't read yet so it makes no sense to me, but the illustrations are quite gratuitous.

Deux tomes pour raconter la vie de pirate de Ace : forcément, on survole beaucoup... Et comme la seule œuvre à laquelle on puisse se référer est un manga en 109 tomes jusqu'ici, où toute l'histoire est détaillée, où le lore de pleins de personnages secondaires est raconté, forcément le décalage est omniprésent.
Reste que j'ai vraiment bien aimé ce qu'on m'a raconté dans ces pages et que: wahou! la patte de Boichi sur One Piece, c'est une pure folie: ça donne envie de plus! Je me verrais bien avec une peinture de tout l'équipage de Luffy version Boichi dans ma salle à manger!

I wasn't a fan of Vol. 1 and I'm sad to say that I didn't like Vol. 2 for the same reasons.
However, the Bonus Chapter is just classic Boichi. He loves drawing chiseled men and incredible fight sequences, and he also likes to draw all his women as weird voluptuous alien baby heads and pose them in gratuitously ogle-y shots. Like, bro, just go off and draw r34 because that's clearly what you want to do.

5/5 🌟
Oh man, One Piece Ace Story pt. 2 was an absolute gut-punch but in the best way. 💔
Every panel perfectly captured Ace's reckless, unwavering spirit and finally explained the full weight of his actions at Marineford. Seeing Whitebeard's incredible kindness made that final arc even more devastating.
And Deuce?! So glad we got to see his life after Marineford. Manifesting a meet-up with Sabo or Luffy! 🙏

Me encantó. Este ha sido uno de los pocos mangas que me han hecho llorar y solo por una muerte que ya sabía que pasaría. Deuce podía haber sido mi personaje favorito si no hubiese sido por Ace. No le doy cinco estrellas solo porque no me gustó como dibujaron a Nami y a Kalifa, podían haberlas dibujado con cuerpos normales y no tan sexualizados.

Aces story is on full display here in a way it doesnt get to in the main story. this should be essential reading for any one piece enjoyer. ace and whitebeards fights shown on repeated full spreads is stunning. and dont get me started on the add on nami story, he went all out with it, holding nothing back, especially not the soap.

Esto va para los dos tomos.
Es sobre Ace, así que por supueeeesssto que me iba a gustar. Pero me hubiera gustado más si fuera una adaptación más extensa, que incluya todo el contenido de la novela (que no leí. Por eso hubiera estado genial que esté todo acá).
Por otro lado, si no vuelvo a ver una mina dibujada por Boichi en mi vida, voy a ser muy feliz.
