Copic markers were first produced by the Too Corporation (formerly Izumiya) in Japan in response to designers' needs for photocopy-safe markers. The markers have become especially famous in their homeland for use in the Japanese art industry and manga comics in particular. These comics are illustrated with anime- like characters and rely heavily on hand drawings. Copic markers have played an instrumental role in the industry and as a result have become synonymous with art-aficionados throughout the world. Copic Ciao markers come equipped with both a medium broad and super brush nib and are graphic artist-quality markers, available in many colour shades. They are suitable for Manga, illustration and fine art, or just doodling! They are non-toxic and have safety caps.
