About the artist

Mana Ibe’s Pokémon TCG credits span 2009–2019, with a small set of known cards appearing across Platinum and the Sun & Moon series, including Ultra Prism and Cosmic Eclipse. The dataset also includes Trainer illustrations, placing Ibe’s work in character-driven card subjects alongside Pokémon entries.

Across these appearances, the visual approach reads as anime-leaning and clean, with a colorful finish and an emphasis on balanced, focused composition. Framing tends toward character-forward staging—often portrait-like—supported by vibrant, sometimes contrasting color choices that can soften into pastel and cool-toned passages. Mood tags range from energetic and playful to calm and serene, giving the work a flexible emotional register while keeping the presentation clear and direct. A representative credit is Lillie (sm5-125a). Among the most sought-after cards illustrated by Mana Ibe is N's Resolve (sm12-232).
