They have manga for absolutely everything you can imagine. <strong>They are not afraid of anything because they know that there is a niche for everything<\/strong>. But they also know a trick that every great artist knows. Sometimes, two seemingly opposite things are actually made for each other. It&#8217;s just that no one has dared to put them together until now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Tomie | Junji Ito Collection\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YCmt4EF_e-k?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That must have been what they thought when conceiving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.siliconera.com\/junji-ito-sanrio-merchandise-pairs-tomie-with-hello-kitty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">the merchandising collaboration between Sanrio and Junji Ito<\/a>. <strong>The most famous horror manga creator in Japan has joined forces with the company behind Hello Kitty, the world&#8217;s most famous kitten, to create a series of merchandise<\/strong> that will be sold in Parco stores in Tokyo and Osaka.
