Naoki Urasawa Merch: Monster, 20th Century Boys and Billy Bat, All in One Place

The short answer: Naoki Urasawa is the greatest thriller author manga has produced, and yet Urasawa merch is almost impossible to find. We fixed that. Our shop carries dedicated lines for Monster, 20th Century Boys, and Billy Bat, from Johan Liebert hoodies to Tomodachi tees. Here is the full map.

Monster: Johan Liebert and the nameless fear

Johan Liebert Monster anime hoodie back design Naoki Urasawa

The Johan Monster hoodie puts the calmest villain in fiction on a heavyweight hoodie, with the statement art on the back. There is a matching Johan Liebert sweatshirt for lighter days, and the Monster vintage tee for summer.

Then there is the joke of the collection, and we mean that as the highest compliment: the Black&White Monster t-shirt (and its white counterpart). The front plays Urasawa's Monster against the most recognizable energy drink logo on Earth; the back drops the punchline with Johan himself. Strangers read caffeine, readers read dread. A parody shirt that only works if you know both references, which is exactly why it works. For panel purists, the Monster manga panel tee and the two-color Monster retro tee round out the deepest Urasawa line we carry.

20th Century Boys: friendship as a threat

The 20th Century Boys retro tee is our regular-cut Shinobi piece in 210 GSM pure cotton, sized XS to 3XL and available in black and white. It anchors the line alongside the hoodie, the sweatshirt in three colors, and the apricot manga aesthetic tee for summer.

Billy Bat: the deepest cut

Billy Bat retro t-shirt worn by model Naoki Urasawa

Owning Billy Bat merch is the strongest Urasawa credential there is, because almost nobody makes it. The Billy Bat retro tee comes in two colorways, joined by a hoodie and sweatshirt in three colors each, plus a manga panel tee. Whose bat is it? Wear it and find out who asks.

Which Urasawa series should you wear?

Monster if you like your dread quiet and your villains polite. Deepest lineup: 9 pieces.
20th Century Boys if childhood nostalgia and cults are your thing. The retro tee is the conversation starter.
Billy Bat if you finish what others never start. Maximum obscurity points.

The retro tees run on our regular Shinobi cut (XS to 3XL, 210 GSM), while vintage tees run relaxed (S to 2XL); both charts in cm and inches are in the fit guide.

Naoki Urasawa merch FAQ

Where can I buy Naoki Urasawa merch?

Urasawa apparel is scarce compared to shonen franchises. Our shop carries three dedicated Urasawa-inspired lines, Monster, 20th Century Boys, and Billy Bat, all original in-house designs on premium cotton with free worldwide shipping.

Is there a Johan Liebert shirt or hoodie?

Yes, several: the Johan Monster hoodie, the Johan Liebert sweatshirt, the Monster vintage and retro tees, and the Black&White Monster parody tee.

What is the Monster energy drink parody shirt?

A joke design that riffs on the famous energy drink logo on the front, with Johan Liebert on the back. It is available in black and white versions, and it lands hardest with people who catch both references.
