And the rest, I've seen Jujustsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer's anime (and the first episode of Chainsaw Man), but haven't read them. So I can't speak to the manga quality, but I definitely recommend the anime
Frankly, the fact that One Piece is still putting out consistently good stuff after over 20 years is insane. I still think Eneis Lobby is the peak, but Wano is right up there with it, and Egghead's off to a real strong start.
Bleach has the best art of the big three, and I don't think its title-panels get enough credit for how immaculate the artwork is. The story gets a raw deal because it lost momentum in the final two arcs...but it's DEFINITELY worth a read and I think it's become underrated over time.
The cool part about JJK, Demon Slayer, and CSM are that their animes feel like they're elevating the source material. You still get more information from the manga versions, but the anime have taken incredible action sequences and turned them up a notch. That's basically the opposite of anime like Record of Ragnarok and Kengan Asura which Netflix put out...those have better manga action sequences which is too bad.
One Piece is unlike any other piece of literature I've read and I'm a freakin' geek for comics, anime, manga, novels, all of it. There's a real sense that the entire world keeps moving after you leave an island. The way characters reappear, title stories that expand the world, and the payoffs YEARS in the making are legendary. I play with theories all the time because Oda gives us so much to run with. Enies Lobby is one of a handful of arcs that I think can argue for the best in series (Marineford, Wano, Enies Lobby, and Alabasta). I feel like Enies Lobby and Arlong Park are the two that turn readers into lifetime fans most often.
