Bridge has opened reservations for five mechanical-pencil designs based on Kore Kaite Shine, the anime about discovering the work of making manga. The pencils cost ¥660 each including Japanese tax through its Tomostore shop.
The made-to-order window opened September 25 and runs through November 2 at 23:59, as listed in the Japanese announcement. Shipping charges are additional.
The artwork gives the characters a cartoonist’s outfit, with berets and drawing tools. A mechanical pencil is a fitting choice for merchandise tied to a story about creating manga: the object can do some of the work the story celebrates.
This is licensed-product news, with no new pencil mechanism announced. The release does not specify lead diameter. U.S. delivery, U.S. pricing and a shipping timetable have not been confirmed; the reservation deadline should not be mistaken for a dispatch date.
