Yani Neko anime gets new character goods for December release
Yani Neko merchandise including rubber mats, mugs and hologram collectibles is now available to pre-order ahead of a 25 December release.
Yani Neko (ヤニねこ) is getting a fresh wave of merchandise, with the new line now open for pre-orders through the CharaON! online shop. The range turns the anime’s cast into everyday items and collectible goods, with releases scheduled for 25 December 2026. 1
The TV anime adapts Nyannyan Factory’s manga, following Yani Neko and the other cat-like residents whose chaotic, nicotine-soaked daily lives made the series an unexpected talking point during the summer anime season. The official anime site lists Yani Neko, Yaku Neko, Hame Neko, Kansai Neko, Al Neko and Imoko among the characters represented in the new merchandise. 2
The line leads with two character rubber mats, including a group design featuring Yani Neko, Yaku Neko, Hame Neko, Kansai Neko and Al Neko. Each mat measures roughly 600 by 350 millimetres and is priced at ¥3,630. There is also a Yani Neko mug for ¥1,980, giving the range a practical option alongside its more display-focused collectibles.
For fans after something shinier, the thumbnail hologram sticker set comes in two versions at ¥1,155 each. The prism visual collection uses a blind-box format with eight possible designs and costs ¥880 per item. The range is rounded out by trading hologram badges, also offered as eight random designs, and two clear-file designs priced at ¥550 each.
The official product listing shows the goods are available to reserve now, while the 25 December release date gives shoppers a clear deadline for planning purchases. The merchandise is tied directly to the anime rather than being a generic character refresh: the official site’s visual material and the product listing both identify the series and its cast.
Our opinion
This is a straightforward merchandise announcement, but the line has a sensible spread: the mats and mug make the range useful, while the hologram stickers, prism collection and badges target collectors. The group artwork also gives the announcement a recognisable visual hook without pretending the products are anything more than fan goods.
Pre-orders are open through CharaON!, with prices ranging from ¥550 for a clear file to ¥3,630 for a rubber mat. Buyers should check the shop’s terms and delivery details before ordering, particularly because the products are scheduled for a December release.
