WcDonald's, anime fans' favorite fictional restaurant, inspired McDonald's to bring the restaurant to real life with a new savory chili sauce, manga-inspired packaging and original episodic shorts. In more than 30 markets around the world, McDonald's is inviting anime and manga lovers to immerse themselves in an authentic, multi-sensory experience of WcDonald's.
The all-new, limited-time Savory Chili WcDonald's Sauce combines ginger, garlic and soy with an extra kick from chili flakes, and it naturally pairs well with an order of 10-piece "WcNuggets" and other side menu items.
In collaboration with Japanese manga artist and illustrator Acky Bright, McDonald's is treating fans to custom WcDonald's packaging featuring the WcDonald's Crew, also depicted in weekly digital manga drops.
