Anime & Waifu Card Sleeves: Official Character Sleeves by Series

Updated October 5, 2026

The short answer

Official anime character sleeves come mainly from two makers: Bushiroad's Sleeve Collection HG (dozens of series, from Re:Zero and Sword Art Online to hololive and NIKKE) and Bandai's official One Piece and Dragon Ball sleeves. Both are standard size, so they fit One Piece, Pokémon, Weiss Schwarz and Union Arena cards. The list below shows every heroine with official sleeves selling on TCGplayer this week; each series and character page shows the designs.

Which official sleeves fit your cards

Bushiroad's Sleeve Collection HG measures 92 × 67 mm, sized for standard cards, the size of One Piece, Pokémon, Weiss Schwarz and Union Arena. Its Sleeve Collection Mini line is for small cards (Yu-Gi-Oh! and older Vanguard) and won't fit a standard card, so check for "HG" in the name. Bandai's One Piece and Dragon Ball official sleeves are made for those standard-size games.

Card sleeve sizes to scale: a 63 × 88 mm standard card, a 64 × 89 mm inner sleeve, a 66 × 92 mm outer sleeve, a 67 × 92 mm Bushiroad HG art sleeve, and a 62 × 89 mm Bushiroad Mini sleeve that is narrower than the card.
Inner sleeves sit 1 mm over the card; outer and HG art sleeves about 3–4 mm over. Bushiroad's Mini sleeve is 62 mm wide, narrower than a 63 mm standard card.

Official or bootleg?

Licensed sleeves name their line and volume on the pack ("Sleeve Collection HG Vol.1142", "Official Sleeves: Assortment 8"). Marketplace listings of character art sleeves with no maker, no volume number and a low price are usually unlicensed prints, which fade and fit loosely. Every sleeve this site lists is an official product from TCGplayer's catalog.

Double-sleeve behind the art

An art sleeve is an outer sleeve. For a card worth keeping, put it in a snug clear inner sleeve first, then into the character sleeve: the inner one seals the card and the art sleeve does the rest.
