Dragonball Z, One Piece, and more are appearing on random store signs, advertising salads and chicken, and impressing Twitter-users the net over.

If you’ve worked any sort of retail job before, then you probably understand the importance of advertising. My part-time job in university had us changing store signage just about every other week. With each new sale and season came new signs from the corporate office, with specific instructions on where to place them and what merchandise to move around. There was no room for creativity, which was a shame since, the store sold art supplies and the majority of staff were artists, either professionally or by hobby.

Granted it’s hard to say that, had we been given the freedom to add our own touch of creativity, the store would have drawn in more customers, but it’s also hard to deny the appeal of really awesome drawings, like the photos of hand-drawn store signs below that have been showing up on Twitter.

▼ Who better to advertise noodles (like udon, soba, and ramen) than Naruto?

▼ YuYu Hakusho, Dragonball Z, and One Piece advertising current sales at a local convenience store.

▼ This is pretty amazing.

▼ When the drawings are just as impressive as the Buddhist statues sold inside…

▼ A lovely sign reminding us that Mother’s Day is soon… Don’t forget a gift!

▼ If the hand-drawn food looks this good, I’d be willing to bet the real stuff is even better.

▼ This artist at Yodoyabashi Station is starting to grow a fan base.

Would you be more likely to patron a store that had signs like these, or is standard advertising enough for you? Let us know!
