Washbasin sundries themed after the beloved picture book series *Pan Dorobou* are set to be released starting in early December 2025, bringing a touch of whimsical charm to your daily routines.
The Phenomenal Success of *Pan Dorobou*
The *Pan Dorobou* picture book series first charmed readers in 2020 with its inaugural work, *Pan Dorobou*, and has since expanded into a delightful universe. Following titles include *Pan Dorobou vs Nise Pan Dorobou*, *Pan Dorobou to Nazo no France Pan*, *Pan Dorobou Onigiri Bouya no Tabidachi*, *Pan Dorobou to Hokkahokkaa*, and *Pan Dorobou to Ringo Kamen*. Most recently, the seventh installment, *Pan Dorobou to Sweets Ouji*, was released on September 10, 2025. This beloved series has achieved impressive cumulative sales of 4.8 million copies as of September 2025!
Beyond the main series, *Pan Dorobou* has also branched out into various other publications, including the bread recipe book *Pan Dorobou no Sekaiichi Oishii Pan Recipe* and numerous MOOK books with special appendices. With an anime adaptation already greenlit, the series’ popularity is soaring, much like a freshly baked loaf of bread!
