Context
O: I get many questions about manga supplies, but since I don't know a whole lot about them myself (whoa), I decided I would simply talk about the supplies that I use personally and know about from experience. To be honest, it doesn't really matter, though.

Paper: It's called "Muse Manga Manuscript" paper.

40 in a pack. I get them plain, so they're totally blank. For beginners, try looking for those that have outlines already drawn on them.

Pen: "Zebra G-pen" (L) "Zebra Round Pen" (R)

These are just tips, so you have to insert them onto pen handles that they sell in stores.

Ink: "Pilot Securities Ink"

This depends on your taste. I know that most people use "drawing ink" instead.

Tones: "I-C Screen"

These are screentones. When you read manga, you see places that look like they've been lightly shaded or colored, but those are actually transparent sticker-like things that you cut out and affix onto the page. It's probably a pain for people who use them a lot. There's various handy tricks to using them well.

Right. This is all you need to become a manga artist. The rest depends on skill.
