The current theme for Omakase’s upcoming subscription merchandise box for January 2016 is Naruto Shippuden. The items include a Gold Naruto Mininja, a highly articulated figure of Sasuke and more action-packed surprises. Created by Masashi Kishimoto, Naruto debuted in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in Japan in 1999 and quickly became that country’s most popular ninja manga properties. The series spawned multiple anime series, movies, novels, video games and more. The manga series (rated ‘T’ for Teens) and animated counterpart (Naruto and Naruto Shippuden rated ‘TV-14’) are both published by VIZ Media in North America.

Omakase, operated by Viewster, shipped its first merchandise box in November 2015 to universal acclaim with animated series Kill la Kill. Items included a gold foil hardcover manga, a Senketsu scarf, a Mako Mankanshoku towel, a Mittsu Hoshi wristband and a Guts button.
