A charming screen-matched Golden Boy Noriko production cel from the classic 1990s OVA series, presented with its unstuck matching douga and a scene-matching copy background. This expressive B9 key cel captures Noriko inside the traditional noodle shop operated by her parents.
Kindhearted and innocent, Noriko is the central heroine of “Danger! The Virgin’s First Love.” Her gentle personality provides the emotional center of the episode as Kintaro attempts to protect her and her family from the dishonest intentions of her wealthy suitor.
The cel appears at approximately 12:30 of the English-language dub of Episode 3. The included copy background recreates the noodle-shop setting seen in the sequence, giving the artwork a cohesive and attractive presentation while the matching douga provides an additional piece of the original animation process.
This is an original, hand-painted production cel created for the making of Golden Boy. The accompanying douga is an original studio-used production drawing. Neither piece is a reproduction, print, limited edition cel, or fan-created item.
A memorable vintage production setup of one of Golden Boy’s most endearing characters, combining a screen-matched key cel, original matching drawing, and scene-appropriate presentation background.
