Japanese lifestyle imprint [Uniqlo](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daima-ut) worked with Weekly Shonen Jump once again to release a range of referential UT graphic t-shirts. This time, the two are celebrating Father's Day with a series of playful graphics imprints. This collection celebrates the publication's most iconic anime series and is comprised of a selection of creative takes on Weekly Shonen Jump's titles.
