Art supplies : Pen

Pens: There are two kinds of pens manga artists tend to use, the traditional nib-and-holder inkwell pen, and an all in one cartridge pen that doesn't need to be dipped in an ink bottle, but has a similarly styled nib.

We have three pen sets that cover these products available:
Depending on your experience the Tachikawa all-in-one pen may be the best choice because it is simple, clean, and easy for beginners. It works just like an inkwell pen, but the ink is inside a cartridge -- so there's no dipping, no spills and no fus. Even pros pick up this pen because you get the look and feel of a regular pen, with the portability and ease of a marker. Even a seasoned pro wouldn't use a bottle of ink on an airplane, they'd take their trusty tachikawa all-in-one.
