The Happy Sets (what McDonald's in Japan calls Happy Meals) in question feature toys inspired by Chiikawa, a popular anime TV series about animal friends

The Chiikawa Happy Sets at McDonald's Japan, featuring the popular manga characters Chiikawa, Hachiware, and Usagi, have caused a significant frenzy among fans, leading to long lines and sold-out merchandise.
