Takeshobo’s BL label Qpa has partnered with Japanese fashion retailer ZOZOTOWN on a limited apparel and goods collection, “Qpa BLACK COLLECTION by ZOZOTOWN,” available to order from August 14 exclusively through ZOZOTOWN.

The collection gathers six artists who serialize with Qpa, each drawing new illustrations around a shared “Black × Ribbon” theme. The lineup runs to 18 items total, spanning long-sleeve tees, acrylic-charm pouches, bags, and goods sets. Some items come with a one-page comic newly drawn by each artist in an original scenario.

The six participating artists are Owaru, Bosuko Takasaki, Tsutako Tsurusawa, Wataru Naki, Ship Hida, and Migino Yagi. The items include a long-sleeve tee in six versions (5,280 yen), a ribbon bag charm in six versions (2,750 yen), a vanity shoulder bag in six versions (4,950 yen), and a window pouch with an acrylic charm set in six versions (2,750 yen). Two artists also anchor larger bundles: a T-shirt-plus-goods set with a newly drawn paper insert from Wataru Naki (two versions, 7,150 yen) and a long-sleeve-tee-plus-goods set with a paper insert from Migino Yagi (two versions, 8,030 yen).

Qpa is Takeshobo’s boys’ love label, spanning magazine serialization and digital releases. The ZOZOTOWN tie-in places its artists’ work in a mainstream fashion-retail setting, offering wearable pieces and accessories, not just the acrylic stands and character goods that typically anchor BL merchandise drops.
