Collecting Original Manga Art 0

[RB3]

Does anyone have any good sites or contacts for purchasing original manga art?

Your best bet for anything manga related would Mandarake. They have their "big auctions" every few months. https://www.mandarake.co.jp/publish/zenbu/indexEn.html

You will see some shikishi boards and other things on there. I've bought stuff from the big auction before without issue. The prices can be pretty high though. Akira Toriyama shikishi boards pop up pretty regularly but they sell for pretty big money.

Aside from that I think you will have a lot of difficulty finding anything. Manga artists pretty much never get rid of their original art and most of the panel pages that appear out there end up being fake. There was a bunch of fake ones that made it out to the market some years back. They are probably still floating around out there so be careful. Many of the current owners probably don't know they are fake either. If you search through this forum and some other places online you will see talk about the fakes that were being sold.

Good luck!

Pretty sure this one is legit as I remember seeing it in a gallery about ten years ago.
