You can collect a total of 44 unique designs featuring fan-favorite characters from the best-selling manga series in Japanese history.
Hit manga and anime One Piece has touched fans around the world for the past 24 years. As evident in the Top 100 Characters global poll earlier this summer and the release of its 100th manga volume on September 3, the series also boasts one of the largest casts of interconnected characters out of any currently or previously serialized story.
Taking a cue from the series’ recent publishing milestone, Asahi coffee brand Wonda (short for “Wonderful”) began paying homage to One Piece earlier this month with limited-edition versions of five lines of its canned coffee offerings. Each lineup features a common theme with 44 unique designs in total. This isn’t the first time that Wonda has collaborated with a popular manga or anime series, either. In 2019 its cans featured characters from Lupin The Third, while just last year it paid tribute to KochiKame: Tokyo Beat Cops and Attack on Titan.
Let’s take a look now at the five lines of canned coffee and individual designs.
