Manga Mania: MASSIVE For Opening Ceremony

From MASSIVE, the line that brought you this standout Jiraiya sweatshirt, comes a special-edition capsule collaboration created with Opening Ceremony, just in time for Pride Month.

MASSIVE's founders, Anne Ishii and Graham Kolbeins, specialize in gachimuchi (that would be slang for "muscle-chubby"), with a wink to the jubilant male pin-ups created by legendary Japanese artist, Jiraiya. Originally featured in G-Men, a monthly Japanese magazine featuring beefcake bods and manga erotica, the artist's meticulous, hypermasculine illustrations became so cult-popular overseas, he's evolved into the "fairy godmother" of Japanese gay manga, according to Ishii.

To celebrate Jiraiya's ouevre—and the rarity of seeing this depiction of hypermasculine Asian males—the design duo and Opening Ceremony are bringing fans an eight-piece unisex lineup (sizes run from XS-XXXL) of the artist's most celebrated work, including the hulking beauties Asakichi and Seiji. Tête-à-têtes are grafted on sweatshirts (it was Jiraiya's idea to pair a Japanese cedar forest with a winking priest), muscle tees, rugby shorts (with a clever crotch placement), beach towels, and even a limited-edition, two-hole Tenga sex toy. If there were ever a summer-perfect collection to bring you from the parade, to the bar, to the beach, all with humor and warmth, this is it.
