Two more designs show off the manga’s original art. The All Star Aged CP HI sports a pattern of original manga panels, while the All Star Aged TC HI integrates color cover art from across the manga’s run. Both designs are priced at 14,300 yen per pair.

All three designs go on sale starting April 30. On April 25, a variety of Doraemon-inspired bags—from totes to backpacks—will lead off the anniversary collab.
