Thanks for that I found it online If you hadn't have mentioned that I wouldn't have found it. I'll see if I can find any others and if I can I'll post them here

Thanks very much for this, I probably wouldn't have bothered but have just placed an order because of the free delivery.

My son loves drawing, the manga pens will make a lovely little extra gift, would you suggest that I may need a pad of special paper to use with these pens, he just uses office paper at the moment?

I'm guessing the clue is in the name, and if they are okay for manga they will be ok for this, but are they professional graphic design pens?

I understand they don't bleed, but when you are shading something in and you over lap strokes of the same colour, do they make it darker like felt pens? I hope that makes sense! Thanks.

Office paper is a bit thin and you'll suffer from ink bleeding so bleedproof is what you're after

Yeah they do that's what I really like about them. You can get quite a lot of shades from the same pen. They blend OK too so they're pretty good overall. If you get a pad as well you'll really notice the difference to standard paper
