long-awaited project will arrive through the Fuji TV signal in a format
officially described as a special anime of a single broadcast, starting engines

narrative quality maintains the essence of the original work, the director's
chair has been occupied by Haruka Kamatani. The committee also
entrusted the adaptation of the scripts to Momoka Toyoda, while the
heavy task of translating the novels' beautiful illustrations to the screen falls
to Takashi Kojima's character designs.

About
One Piece Heroines
Written
by Jun Esaka and adorned with the art of Sayaka Suwa,
these light novels began to be serialized in the pages of One Piece
Magazine in 2019, managing to compile their first physical volume
under Shueisha's imprint in 2021. Unlike the epic pirate adventure we all know,
this series works as an anthology of self-contained stories that explore
unpublished and quite funny situations of the strongest women in the franchise.
Among the
stories that we could see adapted are Nami stealing the spotlight at a fashion
show, Nico Robin trying to decipher an ancient tablet with the help of Sabo and
Koala, Princess Vivi dealing with a mysterious love letter, or the always
charismatic Perona fighting to the death against Zoro and Mihawk for the last
bottle of wine from Kuraigana Castle.
