Junji Ito x Sanrio's Hello Kitty Drop Second Collab Collection: "Gyaru Tomie" Returns!

When you think of Japanese horror manga, the name Junji Ito undoubtedly springs to mind for many. This genius creator is behind iconic works like "Tomie," "Lovesickness," and "Uzumaki," many of which have even been adapted into films, cementing his status as a modern master of horror.

Last year, Ito unexpectedly teamed up with the adorable Sanrio superstar, Hello Kitty, for a wildly popular collaborative merchandise line. Now, the duo is back for a second round! This new collection once again spotlights the captivating "Gyaru Tomie" x Hello Kitty visual, bringing back this epic crossover. Pre-orders for the series kick off on June 30, 2025, via the official special website.

This latest collab features two major fan-favorite series: "Gyaru Tomie" and the "Manekko" (Mimicry) series, where Junji Ito characters playfully imitate Sanrio characters. The product lineup is incredibly diverse, ranging from stylish Sukajan embroidered jackets, hoodies, and 3/4 sleeve baseball tees, to accessories like socks and pins. The overall vibe is a trendy mix of horror and alternative aesthetics!
