Whats a manga pen? Arent inking pens rather universal?

Although inking pens are rather universal, manga pens are actually nibs usually used for inking mangas. The most common manga pens include G-nibs, D-nibs, turnip-nibs, school-nibs, round-nibs, etc.

okay...so whats a good one to buy?

Majority of the manga pens in the market are considerably good. The fact is that different nibs have different functionalities. I would recommend purchasing different nibs just to understand how they work differently. I suppose the common brands in the market are Nikko or Tachikawa brand.

where can u buy them?

You can actually purchase them from art shops and online. Bear in mind that buying manga pens alone is not enough to make good inking. It is the quality of the paper and ink that determines the quality of inking.
