Must be from an extraordinarily significant scene:

Its from Simoun, some deep pockets seem to have very interesting tastes in sketch based series.

Not knowing the show , the action of a female hero cutting her hair like that is a "sign" that she is now taking a battle seriously (kind of a crossroads event) so I am not surprised that if the moment is considered an important scene to the series it may well receive a high price.

Ah okay. It looked slightly familiar, but I couldn't place it. :)

I never did watch very much of Simoun.

I see. I recall in the past seeing genga set(not the rough doodles) that were worked on by known artists going for this kind of price but no idea who worked on this series. So this could well be a masterpiece by some people's standard then.

Oooh yeah. Back when I was really into buying Simoun, this would have been an ultimate kind of set for me (except way out of my range). Very significant haircut for one of the better loved characters in the series.

Major spoilers for Simoun in this video, but it also has the hair-cutting sequence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=munq_pZAD3s

I do have a couple post haircut rough sketches though, which were fortunately slightly cheaper for my wallet.
