The premise

It's very likely that most anime fans are not familiar with this franchise and for a good reason too. The anime belongs to the Lotte brand, which has created tons of multimedia tie-ins to promote its snacks and many other products. In fact, while the Bikkuri-Men anime is the latest example of this approach, Lotte has been applying this tactic for decades now with multiple anime and films.

The characters are based on the stickers that they have in their products and the story is set in a world where the stickers are worth millions. Yamato is the main character in the series and she is a regular teenager who gets involved in many of the battles involving the stickers, leading to a lot of fun and hilarious circumstances.
