One Piece gets exclusive editor-in-chief from Shonen Jump

As a seasoned gamer who’s been on this anime-manga ride since the early days of Shonen Jump, I can confidently say that the appointment of Hiroyuki Nakano as One Piece Media Editor-in-Chief is nothing short of a game-changer! This isn’t just a title; it’s a testament to the colossal influence of One Piece on our pop culture landscape.


Due to its increasing global fame, Shonen Jump created an entirely new role – editor-in-chief – specifically for the One Piece manga.

One Piece is a major player within the realm of anime and manga, boasting an enormous following for its manga, animated series, and live-action adaptations. This popularity has catapulted it into international recognition. Currently, it holds the title as the longest-running manga in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine.

As a passionate fan, I’m thrilled to share that while we’re engrossed in the Final Saga of the original anime and manga, there’s exciting news on the horizon! The One Piece remake and live-action Season 2 are currently being produced, promising fresh adventures for us all. Notably, the series has been lauded recently for its Fan Letter episode, a heartfelt tribute created to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the anime.

Although the anime is temporarily suspended, Toei Animation is broadcasting a remastered version of Fish-Man Island instead. Given their busy schedule, Shueisha’s Shonen Jump magazine has appointed a special editor-in-chief for this series.

Previously known as the Editor-in-Chief of Weekly Shonen Jump, Hiroyuki Nakano has been assigned a fresh, official role: Media Editor-in-Chief for ONE PIECE. This newly created position, exclusive to ONE PIECE and introduced in the latter half of this year, underscores the series’ significant impact.

A completely fresh role, specifically focused on One Piece, has been introduced during the latter part of this year. This shows just how powerful and impactful One Piece remains in popular culture today.

In their response, they clarified that the appointment of an Editor-in-Chief solely for One Piece implies that there will probably be a surge in exclusive content, special episodes, films, and distinct projects specifically tailored for One Piece.

This demonstrates that Shonen Jump is dedicated to ensuring the ongoing prosperity and maintaining the prominence of the series.

Should the series keep receiving unique assignments or boosts, it’ll draw even more interest. Maintaining excitement for the series is key, and offering fresh, exciting content keeps viewers engaged.
