I have to admit that the surprise watching an anime without reading the manga is incomparable. I have been watching One Piece for a year now without reading the manga and I've enjoyed it SO so much! 🤩 However... I cannot resist the urge to read the manga, both because I need that artistic touch of the mangaka and because I can't be on the internet without being caught on. People will spoil anything these days and I'd rather be surprised by the manga than being surprised by a tweet!
