UNIQLO UT celebrates 100 years of Shueisha with an iconic Jump manga t-shirt collection, featuring 22 designs from 11 legendary titles across generations.
UNIQLO UT will release the Shueisha 100th Anniversary UT Manga Collection on March 16th, as part of the centennial celebration of Japan’s major manga publisher, Shueisha. This special project honors the cultural legacy of Japanese manga by bringing legendary works to t-shirt designs—a blend of nostalgia for long-time fans and a new way to wear manga art for a wider audience.
The commemorative collection is planned to roll out over approximately two years and will feature around 100 t-shirt designs inspired by Shueisha’s renowned titles. Each design aims to capture the spirit and iconic scenes from the manga that have shaped generations of readers, making them not just merchandise but wearable pieces of pop culture for everyday life.
First Wave: Across Generations and Genres
