Question 1

Do I need to have read all 1000+ chapters or watch all 1000+ episodes of One Piece to attend?

Accepted Answer

As we will be discussing spoilers, we highly encourage you to come having read at least up to the Fishman Island arc, which is roughly chapter 653 in the manga and episode 574 in the anime. (Yes, it sounds like a lot, but we promise you it's worth it ?).

Question 2

Where will the sessions be held?

Accepted Answer

Session 1 will be held at a member's house (nearest MRT station: Orchard Boulevard), while Session 2 will be held at a community space (nearest MRT station: Bendemeer). We will share details of the venue with registrants closer to the date.

Question 3

Why are there 2 sessions?

Accepted Answer

(1) We love One Piece so much that we can't talk about it enough, so we'll spare everyone by splitting up into two parts. (2) As of early April 2026, there are 1179 chapters and 1156 episodes - we can't possibly talk about everything in just one session.  (3) We just love One Piece so much—!

Question 4

Do I need to come for both sessions?

Accepted Answer

Coming for both will ensure you'll experience the book club the way it's meant to be – with consistency and continuity. However, if you can only make it for one, that's fine, too. There will be ways for you to benefit in just that one session, too.

Question 5

What if I just want to come to listen in?

Accepted Answer

Sure, we welcome you to! Our sessions are usually participant-led so everyone can share their views (including disagreements) and develop them, but if you just want to listen in, we won't stop you.

Question 6

What is Maktaba Books?

Accepted Answer

We're a community library! We let users list their books so others can borrow them. We also run multiple book discussions with Wardah Books, the National Library Board in Singapore, and other organisations. We also have silent reading sessions where people come to read and make friends.

Question 7

What is CAPE?

Accepted Answer

CAPE (Community for Advocacy and Political Education) is an independent, non-partisan, and volunteer-run community bringing together students and youth to strengthen Singapore’s democracy based on justice and equality, by raising political literacy and building the civic capacity of Singapore.
