The Nikko Manga Pen Nib Set is a complete trial and starter set for manga artists, illustrators, and calligraphers. This set is developed by Tachikawa in Japan, a manufacturer internationally known for its manga nibs. It is suitable for beginners who want to experiment with different nibs, as well as for experienced artists who want access to multiple line styles.

The set contains five different manga nibs, each with its own line character. This makes the set suitable for both clean, fine lines and expressive variation from thin to thick.

• Saji nib (chrome) - spoon-shaped, firm nib for stable and consistent lines. Forgiving and suitable for beginners.
• G-Pen nib (chrome) - widely used manga standard. Flexible, suitable for line variation. Ideal for outlines and dynamic strokes.
• G-Pen nib (matte) - equally flexible as the standard G-pen, with a matte finish for more control and different ink retention.
• School nib - narrow, firm nib for clean, uniform lines. Suitable for backgrounds, frames, and technical details.
• Maru nib - very fine nib for small details, hairlines, and precision work.

In addition to the nibs, the set includes a pen holder and a bottle of Tachikawa Jet Black Ink (5 ml). This ink is deep black, flows smoothly, dries quickly, and is waterproof once dry, making it suitable for use with markers or watercolor.

The set also includes a Japanese instruction booklet (“Nib Sample & Guide Book”). Using illustrations, it explains which nibs are suitable for different parts (such as eyes, hair, and clothing), how to hold the pen, and how to maintain the nibs.
