New JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Ice Cream Collab Features Exclusive Merch
The iconic manga and anime series JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure is officially partnering with Japanese confectionery manufacturer Glico for a special new Seven-Eleven convenience store promotion.
The “Forward! Crunchy Campaign” will offer customers the chance to win exclusive character merchandise when purchasing one of Japan’s most popular ice cream treats.
First appearing in Weekly Shonen Jump back in 1987, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure has expanded across multiple generational story arcs following the exploits of the Joestar bloodline.
The long-running story is popular for its unique artistic style, dramatic poses, and creative tactical battles revolving around powerful supernatural entities known as Stands.
The series has generated a massive global following, inspiring numerous animated adaptations, spin-off projects, and a vast ecosystem of collectible merchandise.
For this limited-time promotional campaign, customers can enter a special lottery by purchasing select eligible ice cream items from the following:
- Glico Giant Cone Choco Nuts
- Price: 198 yen (approx. $1.26 USD / £0.99 GBP)

- Glico Giant Cone Choco & Milk
- Price: 198 yen (approx. $1.26 USD / £0.99 GBP)
By purchasing any two of these items in a single transaction, customers receive a unique serial number printed directly onto their store receipt.
These special codes can then be used to enter an online lottery to win exclusive prizes.
The “A Course” lottery prize features a fresh assortment box containing eight total ice cream cones across all three standard flavors and will be delivered frozen to winners.
The “B Course” prize tier gives 240 winners an original stand specifically designed to hold a Giant Cone dessert item upright.

Every person who submits an entry will also receive a digital smartphone wallpaper from a selection of eight character graphics.
The digital distributions are split into two seasonal periods, with the first four designs unlocking initially and the remaining options arriving during the second week.
The promotional campaign is currently taking place at Seven-Eleven stores across Japan until Monday, June 8, 2026.
Receipt serial numbers will remain valid for website application entries until Monday, June 15, 2026, with the smartphone wallpaper download period closing at the exact same time.
