Pencil Boards
I'm not too big on collecting pencil boards. I don't see why they're such a popular thing or why the Japanese think
they need so many. But my good friend went on a trip and found these for me. I love her
guts! She got these for me even though she doesn't understand my love for this show. I've seen a few other pencil boards
floating around that I wouldn't mind getting just for the art and the rarity. But I'm not going to pursue it too heavily.
She got me Cye (aka "the light blue one" to her) because he was my favorite at the time. The drawing is done by Ken
Mizuki who has done a lot of great Ronin doujinshi art and just pretty stuff in general. On the back you can see a piece of
each board in the collection. I really had to darken it though, the picture is really quite light.
This one, of course, is from the first OVA. It hangs on the wall right behind my computer so I stare at it often. Check
out the awesome Engrish on the back! Fight on!
Known to me as the "prom" board and the "tailgate party" board, I found both of these at a convention I went to this
year and decided I might as well buy them. Both have a smaller, greyscale version of the picture on the back along with
the same engrish as the OVA one above.
Found this one as well at the same convention and it is SO gorgeous! It's going on the wall right by my computer so I
can stare at it all the time. Oh yes. *molests*
