Manga artists: I have a 13yr old niece that I know loves manga art, is learning and has room to grow, looking for a Christmas present: should I get

Her manga color pencil kit or markers?

Currently her parents have only bought her crayola color pencils.
Thoughts?

Mmm. Why not both? Sounds like a good gift, to me. Further fuel her interest in art. I'm not a manga artist, but seems to me that you would need both. Markers for general filling, and pencils for detail.

Because I'm also getting her clothes. And the manga preferred art supplies are quite expensive.
