Viz Media announced it picked up the One Piece: Shokugeki no Sanji and One Piece: Ace’s Story manga series. Both are in development. There’s no exact release date for either. However, each one has a Spring 2024 release window.
First, here’s the One Piece: Shokugeki no Sanji manga announcement. It is by the Food Wars creators Yuto Tsukuda and Shun Saeki. As only six chapters of it appeared, it will all be contained in a single volume. It first appeared in tanbouken format in August 2022 in Japan.
