The impending anime adaptation will immerse viewers in a universe where characters featured on collectible stickers packaged alongside the snacks come to life. The narrative unfolds in a realm where the value of Bikkuri-Man stickers has surged to the point that they necessitate transportation in secure cash-carrying vehicles. A year earlier, a notorious heist had rocked the scene, christened the “300 million Bikkuri-Man sticker case.” Against this backdrop, a high-school delivery part-timer named Yamato finds himself thrust into a gripping conflict centered around the coveted stickers, embroiling two rival convenience stores. The Angel Mart, managed by the Phoenix store’s proprietor, boasts a reputation for its alluring and user-friendly glitter stickers. Meanwhile, the Devil Store across the street aggressively vies for the attention of Bikkuri-Man enthusiasts. Former comrades are now divided into allegiances and adversaries, setting the stage for an epic destiny-defining clash.
The revelation of the anime’s existence coincided with the celebration of “Bikkuri-Man Day” in Japan, observed on April 1. The Bikkuri-Man snacks have captivated Japanese audiences since their introduction in 1977, igniting a cascade of tie-ins, including five television anime adaptations and two cinematic releases. The original Bikkuri-Man television anime first graced screens in 1987.
