G-Pen nibs flex from thick to thin for dynamic outlines and effects, School nibs produce consistently soft and smooth lines, Saji-Pen nibs maintain firmness for crisp background details, and Maru-Pen nibs handle the finest work like individual hair strands and eye details. Each nib fits standard wooden pen holders and pairs with Zig Sumi Ink for authentic results.

The specialized tip shapes respond differently to pressure and angle, enabling the characteristic line variation that distinguishes manga from other illustration styles. Backgrounds require different handling than character work; effects demand different qualities than facial features. Having the right nib for each task means you're working with the tool rather than fighting against it. Build your collection around the techniques you use most, or keep the full range on hand to match tool to task throughout every panel.
