Quick Verdict
Eight random types, three heroines — and not a single repeated design idea. The ONE PIECE HEROINES clear cards (¥550 per card, Mugiwara Store) split their eight types between Nami (three), Robin (two), Perona (two) and one Nami-and-Robin pair, and every card uses a different frame, palette and lettering style to do it. I bought the full set for one reason: three heroines I already like, drawn in completely different concepts, and somehow every version is still beautiful.
Why does an 8-type set only have three heroines?
Because the set is tied to the ONE PIECE HEROINES anime special, and it sticks to the three heroines the special puts up front: Nami, Robin and Perona. Instead of padding the lineup with more characters, it gives the same three women several designs each. Nami gets three designs of her own, Robin gets two, Perona gets two, and the eighth card pairs Nami with Robin.
The special itself adapts the ONE PIECE novel HEROINES stories. It aired in Japan on July 5, 2026, and Netflix carried it from July 11, billed as a worldwide simultaneous release — except that Korea, of all places, was not on the list. I ended up paying to watch it on another platform instead. The cards went on sale the same week, in stores first and online two days later.
What do the eight designs actually look like?
Laid out together, the full set shares almost nothing except the HEROINES logo and the copyright line. One borrows a luxury-brand monogram. One is laid out like a magazine page. One hides its artwork behind a narrow vertical slit.
Nami, red cameo. An oval portrait on a deep pink card, the title picked out in cross-stitch lettering under a chandelier-like sparkle pattern. Nami wears a frilled blouse with a large red bow, and the whole card feels like a stitched sampler.
Nami, crouched. The softest card in the set — Nami crouching in a pink knit and heels inside a pale mint vine frame, with the logo in flowing script across the bottom. Nearly everything is washed in pastel except the magenta shoes.
Nami, monogram. The only fully saturated card: Nami in a striped off-shoulder top against a navy monogram pattern, framed like a designer label. Of her three designs, it is by far the richest treatment — the other two wash her in pastel pink.
Nami and Robin, the pair. Nami leans her head on Robin’s shoulder inside an arch trimmed with pearl-like beads and a small stitched ribbon. It is the only two-character card, and the only one where the frame itself is part of the joke — a photo-booth arch for two.
Robin, full body. A magazine layout: Robin standing full-length in dark glossy leggings beside the title, a printed English line about her (“Robin is a heroine whose quiet strength and mysterious charm add depth and richness to the world of One Piece”), and three small diamond-shaped detail insets along the bottom.
Robin, portrait. Robin in an open white shirt against a flat magenta block, chin resting near her hand. The simplest composition in the set, and the one that looks most like a fashion editorial page.
Perona, rose hat. A navy arch, a wide hat with white roses, and Perona resting her chin on her wrist with half-lidded eyes. The palette drops to blues and lavender, and it reads as the moodiest card of the eight.
Perona, parasol. The strangest frame in the set: a dark purple card where Perona in a frilled dress with a parasol is visible only through a narrow vertical window down the middle. You never see the whole illustration at once — the card makes you look twice.
What are the cards made of?
They are clear cards printed on PP stock. The unprinted margins stay frosted and translucent — the card borders soften whatever sits behind them — while the artwork itself is printed opaque. They are light, flexible cards rather than rigid plates, and the full set of eight sits neatly on a single album page, which is how I keep them.
Why did I buy the full set?
Honestly, rarity had nothing to do with it. I bought the set because the three heroines appear in such different art concepts from card to card — cross-stitch, monogram, magazine layout, a slit window — and every single one of them is beautiful anyway. It was a small surprise, realising a character does not need one fixed style to stay herself. Add that these are clear PP cards, a format I like collecting, and that I simply love these three heroines, and completing the set was an easy decision.

All eight designs share only the logo — laid out on one page, the set looks like eight different artists were each given one heroine and no instructions.
