Japanese fashion brand SuperGroupies, known for its epic collaborations with anime and game franchises, has previously teamed up with titles like The Five Star Stories, Girls Band Cry, and Hatsune Miku, all to rave reviews.
Now, they're back with a fresh collaboration, this time diving into the world of the popular Japanese light novel series "Strike the Blood," penned by Gakuto Mikumo and illustrated by Manyako. Fans can now pre-order a stunning watch and a stylish shoulder bag, both inspired by the series' beloved heroine, Himeragi Yukina, directly from the official website.
The "Strike the Blood" (ストライク・ザ・ブラッド) light novel series first hit shelves in 2011 under Dengeki Bunko, quickly skyrocketing in popularity. Its success spawned manga adaptations, a TV anime, and OVA spin-offs. Though the series has concluded, it still boasts a massive and dedicated fanbase.
The new collection draws heavily from Himeragi Yukina, infusing her signature elements into the watch's design and recreating her iconic guitar case as a practical shoulder bag. Both pieces are designed to be incredibly versatile and easy to incorporate into any daily outfit.
▼ Collaboration Watch Price: 24,200 JPY
The watch dial features a geometric pattern crafted from mother-of-pearl, set against a background in the vibrant uniform colors of Akatoki Academy Middle School.
The second hand takes its cue from Himeragi Yukina's formidable weapon, "Sekkarou." The hour markers are adorned with special stones symbolizing her familiars: "Mercury of the Dragon Snake," "Gold of the Lion," "Rainbow Flame of the Underworld Princess," "Black Sword of Yama," and "White Steel of the Water Spirit," arranged in the order of their familiar numbers! Flip the watch over, and you'll find an engraving of Himeragi Yukina's underwear motif and the adorable "Nekomatan" mark on the case back.
▼ Styled Shoulder Bag Price: 17,600 JPY
This bag is a clever reimagining of Himeragi Yukina's guitar case, transformed into a convenient crossbody bag perfect for everyday use. Its sleek black exterior, accented with cool silver metal hardware, gives it a sharp, fashionable edge. Even the zipper pull is specially designed in the shape of Yukina's weapon, "Sekkarou"!
Unzip the front pocket, and you'll be greeted by Yukina's signature pink plaid lining (and don't worry, no underwear inside this time!). This detailed fabric can even be pulled out for a closer look. The main compartment's lining features a geometric pattern, instantly transporting you into the unique world of "Strike the Blood."
