One Piece Man Choco (ワンピースマンチョコ, Wan Pīsu Man Choko?) is a collaboration between One Piece and the Bikkuriman line of wafer snacks produced by Lotte. The product follows the concept of Bikkuriman, consisting of a chocolate and peanut wafer with a collectible seal inside the package. The seals of One Piece Man Choco feature characters from the One Piece series, with a few Bikkuriman character crossovers.
Standard Products[]
The standard One Piece Man Choco line-up has a unique logo modelled after the Bikkuriman logo. The artwork on the collectable seals is created by GREEN HOUSE Inc., the same company responsible for the ordinary Bikkuriman products and other Bikkuriman collaborations. Each One Piece Man Choco wafer package has two alternate designs.
On the back of a collectable seal, there is a number designation, a short description of the character, and trivia tidbit called a "rumor".

7-Eleven Exclusive[]
In addition to the standard collaborations, some One Piece Man Choco products have been released exlusively at 7-Eleven stores.[7] These versions have a number of differences from the standard One Piece Man Choco.
- Instead of the unique "One Piece Man" logo, the standard One Piece logo is used with an appended "Man".
- Instead of unique Bikkuriman-style artwork by GREEN HOUSE, artwork on the collectable seals is based on the One Piece anime.
- Each series only contains 20 collectable seals, instead of the standard 24.
These series are also not listed on the official Bikkuriman website.
