Turn a Favorite Manga Panel into an Anime T-Shirt: How to Make It

I was mid-scroll when the page hiccupped: a tiny Create button pulsed in the corner of a One Piece spread. My heart beat a little faster — not because of the panel, but because that panel could now be walked around in public. You can feel the shift the moment you realize your favorite splash page can become wardrobe, like a secret sketchbook made wearable.

I’m going to walk you through what I found, what works, and the traps to avoid. Read this the way you read a chapter: fast enough to keep curiosity, slow enough to notice the details.

While reading a random chapter you might notice a new icon — Shueisha’s Manga Plus Introduces T-Shirt Maker

Shueisha has teamed up with Tokyo Otaku Mode to add a T-Shirt Maker to MANGA Plus. The feature lets you tap a qualifying page and send that exact magazine page to a print pipeline handled by Tokyo Otaku Mode — made-to-order, shipped from Japan. The launch library lists more than 270 eligible titles, including heavy hitters like One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, Spy x Family, and Dandadan.

Can I print any panel as a T-shirt?

No. Only pages marked with a Create icon are selectable — the button appears on specific chapters and pages that are cleared for merchandise. That guardrail keeps licensing tight, but it also means some legendary pages won’t be available. ([mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp](https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/web_pages/2219/?utm_source=openai))

Here’s what I clicked, step by step, while testing a One Piece panel.

1. Open the manga chapter on MANGA Plus and find a page with the Create button in the bottom-right corner.
2. Tap Create. You’ll be routed to an external checkout managed by Tokyo Otaku Mode.
3. Choose your shirt color and size in the preview, then Proceed to Purchase.
4. Create or sign in to your Tokyo Otaku Mode account, enter shipping details, and place your order.
5. Tokyo Otaku Mode handles production and international shipping; MANGA Plus displays eligibility notes and copyright markers on the final print. ([mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp](https://mangaplus.shueisha.co.jp/web_pages/2219/?utm_source=openai))

Will the panel print in English?

Short answer: no. All shirts use the original Japanese magazine pages, even if you were reading a translated edition when you hit Create. That means on-shirt text and promotional marks may differ from the localized version you read. Think of the final print like a weathered vinyl record — it gives you the original groove and all the little artifacts that make it authentic.

When you open the checkout, the price screen is blunt and simple — Manga Plus’s Anime T-Shirt Pricings

At launch the base price on the Tokyo Otaku Mode checkout is US$39.99 (≈€33.69). Shipping varies by region; my test order showed a US$12 shipping charge (≈€10.12). Several outlets also reported a temporary discount bringing some shirts to US$22.99 (≈€19.36). If you want the exact math, these euro equivalents use a mid‑February 2026 rate of roughly 0.843 EUR per USD.

How much does a Manga Plus T-shirt cost?

Expect to pay around US$39.99 before shipping (≈€33.69 using mid‑February 2026 rates). Promotional pricing has appeared in some reports, dropping select shirts to US$22.99 (≈€19.36). Because fulfillment happens in Japan, shipping will be the wild card that shifts the final price.

One more thing I learned: every printed shirt includes a copyright notice outside the image area and, depending on the page, extra Japanese text that didn’t show in translated editions. That’s part of the product’s claim to authenticity, and part of why collectors are already talking about it.

I’ll leave you with this: if you could pick one iconic panel that belongs on your chest — the exact magazine version, artifacts and all — which one would you choose and why?
