McDonald’s Japan Will Sell Happy Meal Manhwa, Pokemon Toys

For about three weeks from August 8, 2025, you’ll be able to purchase a special McDonald’s Japan Happy Meal manga version of the South Korean manhwa series Survival. This volume will feature Geo and Pipi going to the Zombie Park theme park and going through various troubles while explaining how attractions like roller coasters work to teach kids about physics and the like. The Survival manhwa won’t be the only thing you can get from McDonald’s Japan this summer, as Pokemon are back. On August 8, 2025, you’ll be able to get a toy with your Happy Meal. [Thanks, Game Watch!]

The Survival book will cost 490 JPY ($3.35), and is a special edited version of the theme park volume of the series. If you scan the QR code that comes with the book, you can also play two games that’ll let you use what you learned in the book. The first game, Safe Gatekeeper, has you deciding if someone passes the safety requirements to let them on a ride. The second game, Drop Tower Operation, is a programming game that has you operating a drop tower. You will only be able to play these games until September 30, 2025.

As for the Pokemon McDonald’s Happy Meal toys, possible prizes feature Pikachu, Squirtle, Eevee, and Charmander. There is also a secret toy. McDonald’s Japan originally announced these toys in mid-July 2025, though it only posted pictures of Pikachu and Charmander. McDonald’s will also give Pokemon cards to those who purchase a Happy Meal, and everyone can receive a special Pikachu card.

The Survival comic is only available for purchase at McDonald’s Japan from August 8, 2025, which is also when the Pokemon toys appear as Happy Meal prizes.
