I really wish someone would license some manga properties in the US and release similar shirts here. I love my Junk Food T’s with distressed vintage DC art, but I haven’t read super-hero books in years. I love to have some manga themed shirts that are actually, you know, cool looking.

As opposed, say, to the garish-colors-on-black DBZ shirts that remind me of all those sad clowns on velvet paintings.

I went to the NY Store today and they basically had a giant wall filled with manga shirts, many of the same titles from the 50th, but not the same shirts. Still cool though!

Hey… it looks like the shirts are only available at the new Uniqlo UT T-Shirt store in Harajuku. Probably worth printing out a map! I’ve e-mailed their press people to see if the shirts are going to show up in New York, where I will be shortly. But yeah, the Makoto-chan one sounds awwwwwwwwwwesome.

DUDE. Such good timing– I’m leaving for Japan in just 10 more days! I heard on Umezu’s site that the 3/26 shirt being announced is a Makoto-chan shirt. YES!

I’m gonna try to grab a bunch, and will let you know if I grab extra. At very least, I plan to snap lots of pics of these.

In other news, there is a Uniqlo store in NYC… I wonder if there’s an off chance they’ll carry these too?
