For fans of Japanese culture, combining the practical with the pleasurable can be a challenge. The solution? The manga drink! It blends the enjoyment of a cool beverage with the pride of owning a collector's can featuring your favourite heroes. But with a market that's positively booming, it can be hard to know where to start.
As the Head of Product Curation at Joybuy, my mission is to guide you through this jungle of colourful cans. In this guide, we'll break down the best options on the market based on clear criteria: design, flavour, and collector appeal. Our goal is to help you find THE can that deserves a spot on your shelves.
Before you splurge on the first can you see, let's review the key points for making a smart purchase.
The primary appeal of a manga drink is, of course, its collector potential. The quality of the design, faithfulness to the character, and rarity are deciding factors. Whether you're a die-hard Demon Slayer fan, nostalgic for Dragon Ball Z, or a member of the One Piece crew, your choice of hero is paramount. A well-executed collectible manga can will become a centrepiece on your shelf, right alongside your figures and manga. The Ultra Pop brand, for example, is renowned for its polished designs and official licenses.
The packaging is a huge draw, but let's not forget the main event: this is a beverage. So, be sure to check the flavour. Tastes vary widely, from classic strawberry or cherry to more exotic options like lychee. The ingredients also deserve your attention. Most of these products are fruit drinks (often made from concentrate), water, and sugar. Note that these are not energy drinks: they are generally free of caffeine or taurine.
Your reason for buying is another key factor. For a personal treat, indulge in your favourite character and flavour. If it's a gift, try to get a sense of the recipient's tastes. A Japanese-inspired drink featuring their favourite hero is an original gift that's sure to be a hit with any anime fan. Imagine the surprise on a fan's face when they receive a Demon Slayer can!
And now for our selection! Here are a few cans that stand out for both their design and flavour, featuring some of today's most popular licenses.
Why It Stands Out This drink pairs one of the most beloved characters from Demon Slayer, Zenitsu Agatsuma, with a sweet and fragrant lychee flavour. The can's design captures the character's signature energy with its bright yellow and orange colours. It's a refreshing and unique option.
Highlights
Who Is It For? For Demon Slayer fans who love the character Zenitsu and are curious to try an exotic, fruity flavour. It's also an ideal starting point for a Demon Slayer can collection.
Why It Stands Out The Dragon Ball Z drink featuring Son Goku is a timeless classic. It banks on the character's immense, cross-generational popularity. The strawberry flavour is universally loved, making it a surefire choice.
Highlights
Who Is It For? For long-time Dragon Ball Z fans and newcomers alike. It's the perfect gift for a nostalgic friend or a refreshing treat for yourself in the company of the greatest Saiyan.
Why It Stands Out This One Piece drink honours Roronoa Zoro, the swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates. The cherry flavour, both sweet and slightly tart, perfectly matches the character's intense and determined personality. The can's dark green design is faithful to Zoro's aesthetic.
Highlights
Who Is It For? For admirers of Zoro and collectors of One Piece merchandise. If you're looking for a drink with a pronounced fruity taste and you follow the adventures of Luffy's crew, this can is for you.

These drinks are available on e-commerce platforms specialising in pop culture, like Joybuy. You can also find them in some Asian grocery stores or in the dedicated aisles of large supermarkets, although the selection there is often more limited.
No, the vast majority of Ultra Pop brand manga drinks are not energy drinks. They are fruit-flavoured beverages made of water, fruit juice from concentrate, and sugar. They do not contain caffeine, taurine, or other stimulants. A word of advice: always check the ingredients list on the can.
Absolutely! In fact, it's one of the main draws of these products. To keep your collectible manga can in pristine condition, we recommend emptying it and rinsing it thoroughly with clean water after drinking. This allows you to display it without any risk of leaks or odours.
