This Manga Drawing kit provides all the basic tools needed to get started in a compact value package. The mechanical pencil and eraser are handy for laying down the initial outlines. The 0.6 mm and 1.0 mm nibs are particularly useful for drawing caricatures at a good speed. The 0.3 mm and 0.4 mm are perfect for adding small details. While the plastic nibs might wear down visibly under heavy usage, the larger nibs will continue to reliably produce clearly defined dark strokes. The 0.4 mm unfortunately is not as sturdy and can be damaged rather easily with a heavy hand pressure, so use a light touch for better mileage out of it. Overall a well rounded compact sketching kit.

I recently had the pleasure of purchasing these pens from a local store (sorry Amazon). As a beginner manga artist, I was amazed at the quality of the pens and the difference they made with my drawings. The ink dries rather quickly and pencil lines can be erased without fear of smudging.

Honest reviews on Sakura Pigma Sensei Manga 6 Piece Drawing Kit

I bought these at Michael's and I wish I bought them here... they were 16 dollars at Michael's.

My favorite out of this set was the .04 pen. It's the right size for sketching. It has a different tip though, which I found strange, but it feels great.

The .03 is great for coloring in small corners, though it's really thin and you have to be gentle with it.

The .06 is like a medium sized marker, good for coloring or making lines thicker.

The 1.00 sized is basically like a sharpie marker and good for making lines thicker and coloring big spaces. It's a really dark black too. IT DOES NOT BLEED EITHER! I am really impressed.

My only beef is that you have to be gentle, but that's just me because I'm abrasive lol. But also I was messing with them and they seemed to have run out a bit quick, or the pen tip got a little messed up and started to create a line within the marker. It started to make a streak. So I would have a huge thick line, and then a tiny other line because the marker tip (this happened with the 06 and 1.00 marker) had like, a little residue. It doesn't dry instantly, but it's not slow. Maybe blow on it and it dries instantly.

But other than that, these are nice solid black pens and markers.

I didn't really care much for the sketch pencil or the eraser. If anything, any type of artist should get a KNEADED eraser. Less mess, and is great for shading (if you use different types of pencils, but that's a different story).

I am an artist, and this set is probably by far my most favorite piece in my supply collection. I received this set as a present for Christmas, but even if I were to buy it for myself it would be very much worth spending any amount of money on it. This set includes a Sakura eraser, a mechanical soft-graphite drawing pencil, and four varied thicknesses of manga pens. The thicknesses vary from .3 mm, .4 mm, .6 mm, and 1.0 mm. To be honest, these pens are not exclusively for manga use only. They work for all my art purposes. If you draw something with a pencil, then outline with one of these pens and then use the eraser (after giving the pen a short minute to dry, it does not take long) there is NO SMUDGE. This set is ideal for any artist who uses such things on a daily basis. This set will not fail to please you. Would recommend to any artist.
