One Piece and Eiichiro Oda entered in Guinness World Records as "The most copies published for the same comic book series by a single author with 320,866,000 copies printed and circulated from December 1997 to December 2014".

Oda's comment:

Eiichiro Oda said:
"Thank you for the certificate from Guinness World Records.

Manga is just an entertainment that kills time, but I feel happy when my readers tell me that they have made friends or got a sweetheart by talking about ONE PIECE. I think this record also means ONE PIECE can tie together many people. I won't forget my gratitude to the pioneers of manga industry and readers. I would like to create a manga that truly deserves this record."

This is good not just for the OP franchise, but for the manga industry as a whole, since Kochikame was the only one to have a Guiness World Record until now ("Most volumes of a comic book published in the same magazine"). Seems it's gotten even further ahead with this record now, since the current sales of the OP manga have now surpassed 380 million.

On topic. I think this is great recognition for manga across the board.
