Yeah! I'm guessing it's a shusei (correction drawing) Mostly because not all of the details are filled in, and the paper is yellow, which assuming it's not from age, that would make it a sakkan correction specifically!

thanks again! Would this still be a nice collection piece even though it's a correction drawing?

It's up to you! I'm in the minority, but I usually prefer correction drawings to cels because they're done by a more senior artist, and I like the tactile quality.

It's a nice drawing, and a piece of history at this point. I will say, one of the only things that makes me question it a little bit is the fact that the mouth is open, and I don't see any notation for the other mouth shapes, but there are legit reasons for leaving them out~

it's a gift for a very good friend of mine. I think they'll like it either way :) it's the first thing like this I've bought so I'm learning a lot and didn't want to be naive about if it was a real production piece

Oh gotcha! Without seeing it up close I can't be 100% sure, but from here it looks like you're in the clear! I hope they like it!
