I could have sworn there were already Shueisha NFTs in Japan already.

Other companies should probably take note of the fact that "It's not NFT's" is Shonen Jump USA's most liked tweet ever.

It's "tomorrow", what was the announcement? I can't be bothered to check Twitter.

An "Official Shonen Jump Store" where they are selling some rather cheap looking One Piece, Bleach, and "Shonen Jump" branded clothing at premium prices.

Mostly just white T-shirts, hoodies, and hats with a logo or a single piece of monochrome art taken straight from a manga panel and maybe a character quote underneath. The Gear 4 Luffy shirt originally even had a typo on it ("deicided" instead of "decided").

There are but this is from Viz and focused on the American market rather than Shueisha.

Yeah, it's really disappointing. Just taking some manga panels and putting them on plain T-shirts for 50 dollars, and only from 2 specific series. Not even Naruto or Dragonball.

Are NFTs the new Pachislot for the worst-case assumption of anime/manga announcements? Laughing

I was thinking the same thing. I feel like anymore whenever any media based company says anything along the lines of "exciting new whatever" they're going to have to clarify if it is or is not NFT's.

The selection isn't terribly impressive way to much for my blood.
