Crunchyroll Announces New Book for Bananya Series

By Josh PiedraApril 6, 2021

Crunchyroll announced today that Bananya, the story of an adorable kitty that lives inside of a banana, is receiving a brand-new book called The Secret Life of Bananayas!

Crunchyroll partnered with Running Press to release THE SECRET LIFE OF BANANYAS, which is available for pre-order in the Crunchyroll Store as well as Amazon, Apple Books, Barnes & Noble, Google Play, eBooks, and bookstores across the United States. 

Crunchyroll describes the book as follows:

Based on the hit anime Bananya, this official guide will take you on an adventure into the secret world of the kitties who live in bananas. This guide has everything that you need to know about the show and all of its characters including full-color illustrations, an identification guide, playful advice facts, and memories of past adventures. Nya!

Bananya fans can also purchase a mini kit that includes a talking figurine and sticker book in the Crunchyroll Store (available for pre-order), Amazon, Target, Walmart, and other major bookstores. 

More than 1 million licensed Bananya products have been sold in North America to date! Bananya gear such as apparel, bags, hats, stationery, calendars, wall art, home decor, accessories, plush, and vinyl in the U.S. and abroad at Target, Walmart, Kohl’s, GameStop, Hot Topic, Box Lunch, Forever 21, Spencer’s, Barnes & Noble, Books-a-Million, Primark, George, Jay Jays and more! Bananya has always been a beloved part of the Crunchyroll community. A fan-favorite event activation put on by Crunchyroll in 2018 featured a 12-foot diameter pool filled with Bananya plushies! (804 of them, to be exact!)

Both seasons of the anime adaptation are available for streaming on Crunchyroll!
