Fans of the legendary post-apocalyptic manga and anime Fist of the North Star who happen to be in Japan between now and Monday, November 19th have an opportunity to buy something very special. All 49 pages of Chapter One: "A Cry from the Heart" are being made into individual T-shirts, including the first four color pages.

For example, here is the opening page with the line: "In 199X the world was covered with atomic fires."

Or the page where we are first introduced to Kenshiro's trademark attack, the Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken (Hundred Rending Fists), which he uses against Zeed.

Or, two pages later when Kenshiro utters his famous line: "You're already dead."

How To Buy

To buy one, you'll need to visit the Hokuto Densho Ten 北斗伝承展 (Lore of the Northern Star Exhibit) on the 5th floor of the Sogo Department Store in Chiba City, about a half hour away from Tokyo by train, and buy a special card with a unique serial number printed on it. Then, you can preview the page you'd like to have a T-shirt made of at this special website here (in Japanese), choose your size and place your order.
