Japanese anime and manga motifs are now gaining momentum, especially on the streets. This is a phenomenon that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago, but according to some sources, it is accepted by Westerners in the same way that Japanese people like to wear Disney and American comic book T-shirts. The American T-shirt phenomenon, which first caught fire on the streets of the U.S., has now become popular in Japan as a form of back-importation.
This season is especially remarkable, with various brands releasing geeky items with an elaborate twist. Here comes the real coup de grace: items based on everyone's favorite "Dragon Ball" motifs will be released. The brand is a pioneer in this type of taste, and has been working on it for a long time.F-LAGSTUF-F. The brand, which represents Tokyo Street, has designed a total of nine styles of swing tops, sweatshirts, long T-shirts, and T-shirts against famous manga.
