Fans of Netflix and Viz Media adapting manga into massive global events will soon have a tangible way to explore the craftsmanship behind the Grand Line. IGN South Africa recently debuted the official trailer for Set Sail: The Art and Making of One Piece, a deluxe hardcover companion book arriving on June 23. For a community that loves diving deep into production design, concept art, and lore, this release offers a comprehensive look at how Eiichiro Oda's paper panels successfully transitioned into a major live-action streaming phenomenon.
The upcoming book covers the production journey across both the first and second seasons. Readers can expect exclusive interviews, behind-the-scenes commentary, and detailed breakdowns of practical sets, prosthetics, costumes, and stunts. The publication highlights how iconic locations like the Baratie and the Going Merry were constructed using a mix of physical builds and visual effects. It is a thorough documentation of the massive logistical effort required to bring the East Blue saga and early Grand Line adventures to the screen.
For modern fandoms, physical companion books and art collections serve as a tactile counterweight to purely digital consumption. Whether you follow the live-action series on your phone between commutes or stream video essays analyzing every costume detail on YouTube, collector items like this validate the cross-media investment fans place in their favorite universes. You can check out the official trailer breakdown over at IGN South Africa to see a preview of the artwork before the book hits shelves this June.
