CultXberserk — Berserk-inspired apparel
A gothic apparel label built around the world of Berserk. Heavyweight, garment-dyed tees that are hand-numbered (0001–0666) and never reprinted — each carrying a "Brand of Sacrifice" seal at the neckline. The storefront is custom-coded, so the lore and the buy flow are one experience.

The storyLore-driven commerce, not a merch store
Most anime-adjacent labels print a graphic and ship it on a generic store. CultXberserk is the opposite: a brand with its own canon — Japanese lettering, Roman numerals, a "Brand of Sacrifice" seal at the C7 vertebra — where the storytelling and the storefront are built as one thing.
"Apparel for the damned."

A storefront that reads like the manga
A custom Next.js storefront with ImageKit-optimised product imagery, a hand-numbered drop system (0001–0666, never reprinted), and dedicated Lore, Drops and Council surfaces so the world-building lives next to the buy button. Zero Shopify themes — full code ownership, end to end.
Scarcity the system enforces, not the founder
The drop mechanic is part of the software: numbers are issued in sequence, a design retires when its run is done, and nothing has to be manually pulled or tracked in a sheet. That matters for a brand whose entire promise is that a piece is never reprinted — the claim is only as good as the thing enforcing it. No app store sells this mechanic, which is the reason it is coded rather than configured.
If your brand's promise is a mechanic, the mechanic has to live in the product. Anything a founder has to remember to do by hand is a promise waiting to break on a busy launch day.
