SJump reproduction manga prints

Shounen Jump reproduction prints from the Jump Store featuring Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Toriko etc #shounenjump #naruto #bleach #onepiece #toriko

The Jump Store has released a series of A3 high quality scans of the original manga douga (the actual art work used in printing). There are two to three memorable scenes from popular Shounen Jump manga such as Naruto and One Piece.

My favorites are the Naruto one when he says farewell to his mother and the one from Toriko when he eats the jewel meat. It is nice to see the art work in detail since it is on such a large piece of paper and the pencil marks are still in the margins. I think it is a nice memento that you can get for a series that you like, especially if you really like the artist's work.

A special mention goes to the Bleach one which I picked up just because Ichigo looks really good in it. You can really see Kubo Tite's attention to battle damage haha. It will look awesome once framed and hanging on the wall.

They are available from Jump Stores at the moment with some sold out at certain stores. As expected, the Naruto and One Pieces ones are very popular. The only downside to these is that they are printed on standard paper - however it does keep their price low. These make for great collectors items if you are strapped for cash. If anyone's interested, please let me know asap as I'm unsure when they will stop selling these.
