A Japanese publishing company says it will print a record 3-million first-run copies of the latest issue of a popular manga comic series, "One Piece."
Shueisha will release the 57th issue of the manga, "One Piece," on Thursday.
The 3-million copy first run is the highest for any book ever published in Japan. The previous record was 2.9 million copies, set in 2004 when the 5th installment of the Harry Potter series came out.
"One Piece" is the story of a boy who sets out on an adventure to become a pirate king.
The series has sold more than 185 million copies in Japan, proving the popularity of manga, despite a deep slump in the publishing industry.
"One Piece" has also been published in 25 countries and regions around the world.
