Bikkuri-men is a unique anime created to showcase Lotte's Bikkuriman line of wafer snacks. The characters that are highlighted in the series are the same ones that are found on the collectible stickers that come with the snacks.
The narrative unfolds in a world where Bikkuri-Man stickers hold immense value, to the extent that they are transported in armored cash trucks. Furthermore, a year prior to the events in the story, a notorious robbery, known as the "300 million Bikkuri-Man sticker case," had taken place.

The story centers around Yamato, a high school student who works part-time as a delivery person. He finds himself caught in a sticker battle between two rival convenience stores - The Angel Mart, owned by the Phoenix store manager and known for its popular glitter stickers, and The Devil Store, which is attempting to allure Bikkuri-Man fans. This conflict divides former allies into friends and foes.
Editor's P/S
As a passionate fan of both Black Clover and Bikkuri-Men, I am thrilled to see the voice actor of Yami Sukehiro, Junichi Suwabe, join the cast of the Bikkuri-Men anime. Suwabe's portrayal of Yami Sukehiro in Black Clover was exceptional, and I have no doubt that he will bring the same level of talent and charisma to the role of Super Devil in Bikkuri-Men. The Super Devil is a complex and intriguing character, and I am excited to see how Suwabe interprets him.
The Bikkuri-Men anime is a unique and creative concept that brings the characters from the popular wafer snack stickers to life. The story is set in a world where these stickers hold immense value and are even transported in armored cash trucks. The conflict between the two rival convenience stores, The Angel Mart and The Devil Store, adds an element of excitement and intrigue to the narrative. I am eager to see how the story unfolds and how Yamato, the high school student caught in the middle of this sticker battle, navigates this chaotic world.
