Royal & Langnickel Manga Character Artist Pack

I bought this for the templates, because I'm awful at free-handing speech bubbles. I don't know if the set that I received was damaged stock, but the front was sellotaped on all the way around the pad, meaning that both the sides and back of the pad ripped trying to take it off. The paper isn't bleed-proof in the slightest, so anybody using markers or inks will have a bad time of it. The pens are actually decent, but that's about all this set has going for it. The templates are awful. They look like they've been badly cut out with a knife, and not even fully cut out in places - I had to get the circles in the thought bubble out myself. They're messy and unprofessional looking. I can't even recommend this set for a beginner. Save your money.
