Creating…

This whole t-shirt thing? What really gets us hyped is the creative process.

Every design we make starts with a mix of passion, debates, and way too many “what if we tried this?” moments.

We’re building out collections around some of our favorite manga, anime and Japanese pop-culture universes — from Dragon Ball Z and Berserk to Slam Dunk, Naruto and Street Fighter.

And trust us, choosing what to focus on is tough.

Each universe has its own vibe, visual language and iconic moments, and we want to do justice to all of them.

The goal?

Come up with designs that feel fresh, original and deeply connected to the source material — not just generic graphics, but something that hits different.

We’re always chasing that balance between style, subtlety and storytelling.

Some ideas work better as minimal front prints. Others belong on large back prints, oversized tees or hoodies. Part of the creative process is finding the format that makes the artwork work as something you can actually wear.

Honestly, it’s the most fun we have. And we hope it shows in every piece.

At the time of writing this, we’re almost ready to launch the website.

UPDATE: The website did launch — and the experiment never really stopped. Two years later, we’re still developing these collections and refining what ShonenCorp should become. Read where the project stands today in Two Years of ShonenCorp — And We’re Just Getting Started.
