The One Piece Fan Letter spin-off series that was released on the 20th of October has been received unexpectedly well by fans. This is quite surprising as it was believed that most people would tend not to watch it because it seems like a filler. Hence arises the question: Is One Piece Fan Letter a filler?
In this article, we’ll be answering just that, along with a little more information on the recently released series. This article is sure to help out anyone who’s invested in the series but is confused as to whether they should watch it.
Is One Piece Fan Letter Canon?
Yes. One Piece Fan Letter is a canon spin-off. A canon series refers to one being adapted from a source material which is usually a manga or light novel. One Piece Fan Letter is adapted from a spin-off novel called Straw Hat Stories.
Since the anime will be on break till April 2025, the misunderstanding that this series could be a filler is understandable; however, that is not the case. One Piece Fan Letter is a series that has received the stamp of approval from the author, Oda Eiichiro, which is reason enough to consider it canon.

The concept of fillers may be quite different for people at this point, so to put it more concisely, The One Piece Fan Letter spin-off depicts a story that is set apart from the main story and doesn’t have any direct influence over the main plot. This means that you can skip this series entirely, and it won’t affect your experience with the anime.
What Is One Piece Fan Letter About?
The One Piece Fan Letter will be based on the novel by Tomohito Oosaki, which revolves around the Straw Hat Pirates. While the One Piece story is normally pretty much about their adventure to find the One Piece, this spin-off takes a different approach; it revolves around the regular lives of people when they aren’t engrossed in adventure.
The series features the Straw Hat’s reunion at Sabaody after a small time skip. Now, we get to see their stories play out from the perspective of common people there, especially a girl who walks around idolizing Nami.
We can expect to see various sides of our favorite characters that we normally wouldn’t see in the anime. All-in-all, these short stories are quite worthwhile and a must-watch for anyone who’s crazy about One Piece.
