For a birthday gift that combines your boyfriend's love for cartooning and manga illustration, consider the following thoughtful and personal gift ideas:

1. Professional Art Supplies: Delight your boyfriend with a high-quality set of art supplies that cater specifically to cartooning and manga illustration. Look for professional-grade markers, pens, pencils, and paper designed for this style. A variety of brush pens would also be a useful addition to his collection.

2. Art Books: Inspire your boyfriend's artistic growth by gifting him with books that focus on cartooning and manga illustration. Look for instructional guides that cover various techniques, character design, composition, and storytelling. Additionally, you can purchase artbooks from his favorite anime or manga series, providing him with visual references and inspiration.

3. Tablet for Digital Art: If your boyfriend enjoys digital art, consider surprising him with a drawing tablet. This will allow him to digitally create his illustrations with ease, and many tablets come with software specifically tailored to digital drawing. Look for a tablet with pressure sensitivity and a size that suits his preferences.

4. Commissioned Artwork: Treat your boyfriend to a commissioned artwork from his favorite artist or a professional artist specializing in cartooning and manga illustration. This personalized piece will not only showcase his admiration for the style but also serve as a unique and sentimental reminder of your thoughtful gift.

This gift goes beyond a tangible item and offers the opportunity for him to connect with other artists and gain expert guidance like never before.

6. Customized Art Supplies Organizer: Consider a customized art supplies organizer to keep his drawing tools neat and organized. You can even add a personal touch by engraving his name or a meaningful message onto the organizer.

7. Subscription to Art Magazines and Online Platforms: Keep your boyfriend updated with the latest trends and techniques by gifting him a subscription to art magazines or online platforms dedicated to cartooning and manga illustration. This will not only provide him with inspiration but also keep him connected with the art community.
