Uniqlo announced collaborations with three horror (or horror-adjacent dark fantasy) manga titles: Uzumaki, Berserk, and Parasyte. Manga curation UT graphic T-shirts bearing designs from these three series are now available in Japan, and will appear in other regions, such as the United States, in early March 2025.

You can choose from a total of six different designs, with two from each series. Each T-shirt costs 1990 JPY in Japan ($13). Meanwhile, the North American version of the site lists them for $24.90. Like other Uniqlo UT T-shirts, they’re available from XS to 4XL, and they’re unisex so you can wear them regardless of your physique.

Berserk is a highly influential manga that began serialization in 1989. Since then, it’s become one of the best-selling manga series of all time, with many praising its worldbuilding and writing. Parasyte ran from 1989 to 1994, with multiple adaptations of the story. It follows Shinichi Izumi, a high schooler who enters in an odd symbiotic partnership with a parasite Migi. The two of them have to work together to fight other parasites. Finally, Uzumaki, which ran from 1998 to 1999, is one of the most popular and famous works from Junji Ito, with a recent anime adaptation. It follows the citizens of Kurouzu-cho, who have to deal with a supernatural spiral curse.

The Uniqlo UT manga curation T-shirts are available in Japan, and they’ll come out in North America in early March 2025.

Parasyte: The Grey, a live-action series based on the Parasyte manga, will premiere on April 5, 2024. It will be a Netflix exclusive.

This will be a Korean series, which means that the cast and staff are mostly from Korea. Yeon Sang-ho (Train to Busan) will be the director. It will star Jeon So-nee (Soulmate) as Jung Soo-in, Koo Kyo-hwan (Peninsula) as Seol Kang-woo, and Lee Jung-hyun (A Petal) as Choi Jun-kyung. The promotional poster for the show has Jeon’s character looking at the camera while a parasitic creature emerges from her face.

Parasyte was originally a manga by Hitoshi Iwaaki, which ran from 1989 to 1994. It focuses on high school senior Shinichi Izumi, who forms a co-operative relationship with a parasite that tried to take over his brain. He managed to prevent this from happening, sequestering the parasite into his right arm. There have been multiple adaptations for Parasyte, including two live-action films and an series series. It is one of the best-selling manga of all time.

According to a Netflix press release, the plot of Parasyte: The Grey will differ from the original manga. This is quite obvious even from the casting. While the manga starred a male high school student, the TV series will focus on a girl. Netflix states that the show will be “set in a locale with fresh characters” and that it’ll “chart its own unique course while maintaining the imaginative world and profound message of the beloved manga.”

Parasyte: The Grey will be an exclusive on Netflix and you’ll be able to watch it from April 5, 2024.
