One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda is lending his creative juices to a new spin-off featuring the women of the beloved adventure manga/anime. The spin-off, titled One Piece: Heroines, is a collection of prose short stories accompanied by illustrations, and was announced by publisher Viz Media through social media.
While Oda is listed as “creator” of One Piece: Heroines, it will actually be written by Jun Esaka, with art by Sayaka Suwa. It’s unclear exactly how Oda fits in, but he’s definitely putting his name front-and-center on Heroines. We’re assuming that means he’s going to at the very least be a guiding hand in the creative process, so fans can rest assured that One Piece’s original creator is overseeing the spin-off.
“Follow Nami, Robin, Vivi and Perona as the heroines of One Piece go off on their own adventures in this collection of prose short stories!” reads Viz Media’s announcement of One Piece: Heroines. “One Piece: Heroines, written by Jun Esaka, created by Eiichiro Oda and illustrations by Sayaka Suwa, releases Spring 2025.”
