  Very good ink for drawing..., March 13, 2010

By dbajraktarevic

Very good ink for drawing comics or other illustrations; very black and permanent. The bottle is very nicely designed as compard other bottles of other india ink manufacturers; it is wide and not narrow which makes it easier to insert your brush or dip pen into the bottle.

My fave ink is French Sennelier india ink but this Kuretake is second best in my opinion.

  Kuretake Manga Ink Pros:..., February 23, 2011

By voltv

Kuretake Manga Ink
Pros: Thick, Very Black Ink. Smooth flow. Dries quickly to reduce smudging on drawing. VERY WATER RESISTANT! Comes in a great 60ml container that's topple proof w/ a very wide mouth to make ink dipping easier!
Nitpicks: DO NOT use Copics/ Alcohol markers with this ink. Because it dries fast, it tends to build up dry ink residue on the nib-clean with alcohol or any other liquid/solution that helps remove waterproof ink.

Final thoughts: Excellent ink. Great glossy finish. Very dark. And a great ink to use with watercolors! Nitpicks aside this is one of the best inks out there in the manga market!

I think it's really nice ink and the only thing that bugs me is that it says it's fast drying but I got a couple smears. Also it is a bit difficult to clean it off the nib but othe than that it is really nice for drawing.

By jswope

This lays down a very black line compared to a lot of inks I’ve used and works well with a nib or a brush my only issue is I wouldn’t go over it with a alcohol based marker but if you’re going to leave it black and white or color it digitally I have zero complaints about this ink. I also find the wide base of the bottle very hand for avoiding spills and the wide opening is great for brushes.

This ink is most definitely the blackest ink i've used recently. I was very happy with my previous ink choice before purchasing this. very consistent with natural sable brush application as well as nib use. (escoda brush/series 7 brush and nikko G nib/ principal nib)

"I seriously wanted to marry her back then. But I knew no matter how hard I worked, I'd probably just end up as a cog in a small, mediocre company. I wanted to do something that would get her to notice me. I didn't have any monry, but I figured that as long as I had some paper and a pen, I could become a novelist or A manga artist. And that's how all this began."
