I found this:

I know it's from the Naruto manga pretty cool I must say

But what is it?

Is it real or a copy?

Thanks everyone!

It looks like it's one of those authorized reproductions that's been floating about. The translation seems to indicate that it's has a number and is from a limited release.

Although this is the first time I've seen this particular pattern, it's not uncommon to find lithograms of artwork from very popular artists. There's one of Bleach on YJ as well and includes Kubo Tite's signature....for 80,000 yen.

awww so that's what it is

I was just curious I love the art work but too bad i don't have $400.00 laying around

So it's almost like a reproduction cel but more rare

It's from Naruto chapter 442

I think the repro cels are more rare.

Most of these limited reproductions have a run of 25-100. Most of them are numbered on the bottom and they generally have a signature on them.

Repro cels, at least the Studio Pierrots, are released in quantities of 10-15(?) or so.

If you really want one, wait around a few years. New artwork always goes for a high premium, but you can find some of the older stuff for more reasonable prices.
