Starting in January, the popular Japanese apparel brand Uniqlo kicked off a collaboration with manga publisher Shueisha, with major Weekly Shonen Jump series like YuYu Hakusho, Hunter x Hunter, Jujutsu Kaisen, Naruto, One Piece, and Sakamoto Days appearing on a wide selection of T-shirts. As part of the "Manga UT Shueisha 100th Anniversary" celebration, the company has now revealed its third wave of apparel, with five more Shonen Jump series taking center stage, including Bleach, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Spy x Family. Thankfully, it looks like overseas fans will also be able to snag some of this limited-time merch.
Few publications are as internationally beloved in the world of manga as Shonen Jump. Since its initial launch in 1968, the magazine has sold over 7.5 billion copies and originated many of the best-selling manga series of all time, from Dragon Ball and Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba to Slam Dunk. It's no surprise that many merchandise and apparel companies have teamed up with the legendary magazine in the past, and this summer, fans can look forward to representing more of their favorite Shonen Jump series with a new merch launch courtesy of one of the most beloved—and affordable—Japanese brands.

Uniqlo Celebrates Shueisha's 100th Anniversary with Tons of Rad Shonen Jump Tees
Throughout 2026, Uniqlo is celebrating Shueisha's 100th anniversary, with two waves of incredible collabs already taking place. For the third batch of releases, selected works from both Shonen Jump and its digital sister publication, Shonen Jump+, will be featured on a wide range of unique T-shirts. Fans of Spy x Family, Black Clover, Bleach, Mashle: Magic and Muscles, and Yu-Gi-Oh won't want to miss out on this drop, with all pieces available in sizes XS to 4XL. Each shirt is priced at ￥1,990 (around $13), and the full collection is set to go on sale in early August. While the shirts will be made available in Japan first, international fans will likely be able to snag them shortly after, as this has been the case with the previous waves.

The series represented in this newest round of apparel continue to be wildly popular with audiences. Kicking off publication in 2001 and wrapping up in 2016, Bleach is nevertheless seeing a major resurgence, with its sequel anime series, Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War, kicking off in 2022. Three cours have aired so far, with the fourth and final batch of episodes scheduled to begin airing in July 2026. Fans have been enjoying the show, which has faithfully adapted the final story arc from Tite Kubo's legendary manga series.
Another classic series that has withstood the test of time is Yu-Gi-Oh, as its accompanying Dual Monsters card game has continued to attract players both young and old. Kazuki Takahashi's legendary manga is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2026, and several major events and releases are planned to mark the occasion, including the first-ever exhibition of Takahashi's Yu-Gi-Oh artwork. The event, which will be held in Tokyo this winter, will feature original art, production materials, and rough sketches by the late author.
