About Manga G nibs

Manga G nibs are a relatively new nib. They are made in Japan and were originally designed for Manga style drawing, which started in Japan several decades ago. The term "manga" loosely translates to "comic books". 

There are several nibs designed for Manga style drawing. The largest is the G nib. This nib has become very popular worldwide for all sorts of drawing and writing styles. It could be the most popular nib in use today. 

Many pen companies make Manga G style nibs, but the three Japanese manufacturers provide the most popular. 

  • Nikko
  • Tachikawa
  • Zebra

If it makes a difference, Tachikawa nibs are produced by Nikko, but the two nibs have different fans.

We prefer the Zebra Manga G nib as the best made and best acting Manga G nib, but this is just our personal opinion based on slight advantages. Check out all three nibs when you get the chance.

All three nibs look similar in appearance, but there are subtle differences when you use them. Check out the following links to view YouTube videos providing more detailed information about Manga G nibs.
