Love will be in the air this week as the anime adaptation of Daiki Ihara’s Koisuru One Piece (“One Piece in Love”) spin-off gag manga starts on April 1 with all five episodes airing over consecutive days. Ahead of the first episode’s premiere tomorrow, more cast was announced for the series, which includes a range of voice actors that One Piece fans would be familiar with.
Pictured above from left to right, the cast of Koisuru One Piece includes (original One Piece characters in parentheses):
Yoshioka Sato voiced by Akari Kito
Biology Club President voiced by Akira Ishida (Cavendish)
Tsuchi voiced by Megumi Han (Otama)
Toriko Kurono voiced by Takehito Koyasu
Narration voiced by Mahito Ohba (Smoker)
Haruka Kamatani (Looking for Magical Doremi) and Hazuki Omoya (One Piece Fan Letter Assistant Unit Director) direct Koisuru One Piece at Toei Animation with Hanao Iida (One Piece) drawing the character designs). The shorts will be released on One Piece’s social media accounts starting at 8:00 p.m. Japan time from April 1 for five days leading to the return of the main One Piece series.
Koisuru One Piece follows three high school students who create a club for One Piece and have similar names to characters from the series. They get into hijinks that parody the main series.
