The familiar pirate flag from the One Piece series has been turned into a set of index stickers. You can stick these onto the edges of your monthly calendar page or daily pages to immediately find and open up to your desired spot. They also serve as an accent, even when your techo is closed.
Out of the many One Piece characters, we have chosen Monkey D. Garp, Edward Newgate (Whitebeard), Silvers Rayleigh, Gaimon and Zeff for a total of five designs. The illustrations are printed in silver ink.
Vivre Card is based on the piece of paper that includes Silvers Rayleigh’s name, which appears in the manga. Treasure Tab is based on the handwritten note a young Luffy leaves behind after he dines and dashes in the Goa Kingdom with Ace and Sabo.
In the design for Tamagotchi, the characters are lined up in their cute pixel art styles. From the top, you have Mametchi in orange ink, Tamatchi in pink ink and Techotchi in blue ink―a Tamagotchi that was newly discovered on the Hobonichi Techo! Continuing on, there is Kuchipatchi in green ink, Oyajitchi in black ink and finally, a poop in brown ink that is being flushed away. It’s all up to your creativity where you want to use which design!

A Weeks in collaboration with ONE PIECE magazine, a publication which dives deep into the world of the manga One Piece. Straw Hat Luffy RED, which was released in 2023 as a techo cover, is now reimagined in the shape of a Weeks!
An illustration of Luffy made by the author Eiichiro Oda for Vol.1 of the ONE PIECE magazine is laid out boldly on a red background.

The little figure on the pen, looking as if it came straight out of an illustration, is so adorably made that you can't help but gaze at it.
Kitagishi actually made this delicate figure herself with clay. This shape was taken as is for this model of the cat resting on the pen.
Various motifs, such as cotton candy, mushrooms, Chopper’s hat, the Rumble Ball or even the faces of the Straw Hat Crew make up these stickers. They come in both in small and large sizes, on twelve sheets of a colorful backing in the shape of a plaster.
