One Piece's heroines got some of some gorgeous makeovers from Shojo's biggest artists! One Piece recently celebrated a massive milestone with the release of its 1000th chapter, and this has resulted in all sorts of fun new collaborations with other artists. Not only did Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump artists got to get in on the fun by sharing their takes on their favorite One Piece characters, but Shueisha's Shojo artists got in on the celebration as well. Because while the Shonen genre is sold to one particular audience, Eiichiro Oda's manga series has reached all sorts of different fans across the world.

As part of the celebration for One Piece's massive 1000 chapter milestone from a few weeks ago, Shueisha collaborated with artists from their Ribon magazine for a series of special illustrations putting new spins on heroines from Eiichiro Oda's series. Along with specialty illustrations for each one, the magazine itself revealed a spread featuring all of the makeovers. Check it out below:

The breakdown of One Piece character makeovers is as such:

  • Charlotte Pudding by Tea Time ni Mahou o Kakete's Kokoro Otomezaka
  • Yamato by Hatsukoi to Taiyou's Honoka Kinoshita
  • Princess Shirahoshi by Buggy Go's Minori Kurosaki
  • Tashigi by Nanairo Kakumei's Mizuka Yuzuhara
  • Boa Hancock by Scary Lessons's Emi Ishikawa
  • Nami by Honey Lemon Soda's Mayu Murata
  • Nico Robin by Stardust Wink's Nana Haruta
  • Princess Vivi by Sugar Soldier's Mayu Sakai
  • Reiju Vinsmoke by Haru ni Kiss's Karin Nanakawa
  • Koala by Doku to Hanamachi's Miya Tashiro
  • Perona by Kyuuketsuki to Bara Shoujo's Noriko Asaka

One Piece has managed to strike a chord with all kinds of fans, and collaborations like this help to show just how wide reaching of an action series this really is. Its length might seem scary to newcomers, but its length is also why it's managed to introduce so many fan favorites over the years.

What do you think of these Shojo manga makeovers for One Piece's heroines and villains? Which of these characters would make for the best fit in their own Shojo series?
