Anime News Network's merchandise coverage sponsored by
Tokyo Otaku Mode.
SuperGroupies is here to prove that even supernatural cannibals can inspire cute women's accessories. The company looked to Sui Ishida's Tokyo Ghoul manga and anime adaptations for a new handbag and a pair of booties.
The bag is based on silver-haired Ghoul Investigator Jūzo Suzuya and his red bobby pins. The roman numeral "XIII" is visible on the clasp while red x stitching outlines the flap. The inside lining is red and gold polka dots. All together, the purse costs 8,424 yen (US$69).
The short booties are inspired by "Gourmet" ghoul Shū Tsukiyama. The red and dark blue striped material is based on one of the character's business suits while the crescent moon charm dangling from the back represents Tsukiyama's mask. The shoes cost 19,224 yen (US$159).
Reservations are accepted until November 23. The bag is expected to ship in February followed by the shoes in mid-March.
