I was offered the Reika sketch from Mandarake
several months ago for a higher price. I almost
bought it but refrained.
They told me that Kanno himself brought the
sketches in for sale...Which I don't
doubt...Mandarake has connections with several
character designers in Japan.
I've never seen or heard of Museum having this
sketch in their posession...If Stephen
does...Then he could come forward about it...
But...A lot of character design pages can be very
similar in nature...So you are probably the one
confused.
Here is a link to the sketch in question up on E-
bay:

Any other opinions welcome...But...In my personal
opinion...It's legit...I was even sent larger
scans of the image...So it's in Mandarake's
posession... |
