Looking for a new manga like one piece, but without as much fanservice, any suggestions?
I've developed a sort of love-hate relationship with one piece, especially since the timeskip, as the female characters have all gotten a makeover that seems to promote maximum fanservice, but almost every other aspect of the series is still too good for me to drop it entirely.
This is especially upsetting as one of the things that drew me to it initially was the way the female characters were often given key roles in the plot, and while often not as strong as the male characters, they were often shown as more competent than the male characters, and actually had a purpose beyond the common "fanservice and/or DID/ Love interest" that is all too common in manga/anime (IMO)
Well, "akainu there are a lot of things I could say to this answer, but I think I'll just go with:
You have your standards, I have mine.

Fanservice has become a staple in manga, Oda figured that while newbies like Hiro Mashima were literally filling their mangas with fanservice, he had to do so too, to keep his audience satisfied. He provides female fanservice too, Ace was a walking fanservice package for girls xD
That apart, females aren't just a couple of curves with mouths in OP. So many key characters are women, Hancock, Big Mom and The SH women for example. All that has changed after the TS is the art style, and consequently, Nami/Robin's sizes (due to age related maturity, justified). Oda isn't sexist, buddy.
In my eyes, at least, OP is one of the few top tier manga out there with minimal fanservice, Look at Bleach and Fairy Tail. Their primary female characters are present PURELY for fanservice, Example? Here you go:
