The story of Bikkurimen is set in a world where Bikkuriman stickers are so coveted that people are willing to steal them and whenever the stickers are transported it merits security on par with armored car cash transfers.

 

One year after the infamous “300 million sticker robbery incident”, a high school boy named Yamato gets involved in the Bikkuriman battle by taking a part time job at the Angel Mart, a convenience store renowned for its stickers. But the rival Devil Store across the street is gunning for Angel Mart, and a fateful battle begins in which former friends become new foes!

 

Bikkurimen is directed by Tomohiro Tsukimisato and features animation production by Lesprit. The series will broadcast in Japan beginning in fall 2023.
