Pencilboards are like small, indestructable posters as far as I’m concerned. I asked my (Tokyo native) mom about them, she said they were used back in the day because Japanese paper was flimsy and the ink tended to leak through. When I asked if she ever used them to make that stupid wobbly sound, she replied with something to the effect of "Of course (you idiot)! We all did that!!"

My team of PVCs ready to point at you – Sky Crawlin’: a friend of mine regularly goes to game/animation trade shows in Japan and always brings back funky trinkets like the Gurren Lagann clearfile and Sky Crawlers mini-poster.
Ornate Clamp pencilboards & clearfiles, with Natsume Yuujinchou and Honey & Clover. The shoujo corner I suppose. I haven’t left room any for Ouran Host Club.
