MD A5 Plain Paper Notebook from Business & School Supply

This notebook is a joy to use. The plain MD paper has a smooth, high-quality feel that works beautifully with both pencils and pens, and it handles fountain pen ink with minimal bleed-through. Writing on it feels effortless, making it ideal for journaling, sketching, or note-taking. The A5 size strikes a nice balance—portable enough to carry anywhere, yet with plenty of space for longer writing sessions. The minimalist design is elegant and understated, letting the focus stay on the writing itself. Durable, clean, and versatile, it’s the kind of notebook that quickly becomes a favorite.

the paper is so smooth which is perfect, it’s great for a sketchbook as well

The journal is a cream color both the cover and pages are the exact color. Comes with stickers and a cover page. Lays flat , paper has a nice smooth feel to it . Pages are light yet sturdy. Tested a Lamy Safari Fountain pen in violet and no bleeding but has shadowing on the back page.

I'm a fan of these so I'm biased. I think they're great. easy to get a bit dirty though. they lay flat, the paper quality is nice. they're good with fountain pens and pencils. I'll honestly buy these for any class I have to take i the future. the A5 size is perfect because it makes you keep your notes concise and clean and you dont have a ton of wasted space on each page so the material is nice and dense when you try and study. I like to buy the blank paper version. Personally have grown to dislike lined paper unless its graphed like calculation pads or engineering notebooks but blank is my favorite. The cream paper looks great too. Some will say the paper is see through and that's totally true. it's not transparent but just like reading a book you can see the print on the back side. I thought that would bother me, and it did at first but you get used to it and all of the pros out weigh that. Also the hard card stock for the cover and back are thick enough you can paint with water colors if you're into that. I've done it and it came out great. also I havent found another notebook like this one so if you're interested in the uniqueness then give it a try, or try the A4 size (at the time if this review, amazon doesnt carry the blank A4 model).

This paper is great for fountain pens. Hard press writing -NO Bleedthrough. Smooth glides across the paper. I just wish there were more pages.

I adore how simple, clean, and customizable this notebook is. I especially like that the cover is a thick card stock type paper, i painted a watercolor on the front and it didn’t comprise the color at all. Just a really solid little notebook that’s extremely versatile. Will be rebuying!

I got this specifically to draw a graphic novel. I've used the A6 size before for journals and other projects and I love these notebooks for all art related projects. I got the A5 size because that's the size that is closest to what I'll be publishing the final product and it not only handles fountain pen ink without the slightest signs of bleed but it can also take a lot of water color without bleeding at all. The subsequent page did get a little wavy but soon returned to a mostly flat state after drying and the page I inked then did a watercolor wash over also curled but it wasn't anything a few hours with the book closed couldn't fix. These are great for journaling, drawing, etc. For me, they are Project notebooks. They have a vibe to them that invites you to use them for whatever artistic endeavor you choose whether it's writing an album or drawing a comic or just taking notes. These are some of the best notebooks ever made.

I really like it. The paper has a great medium weight and nice smooth feel to the touch. I use very dark gel ink pens, so I did notice my images and writing slightly visible from the other side of the paper. I haven't tried sketching with pencil or a lighter ink yet though, may update. Beautiful minimalist design for an every day notebook. I actually kept the light tissue paper the book is packaged with on because I like the light jacket. Very nice, will purchase again.

タイトルの通り罫線がなく、自由に書き込み出来ることが最大の魅力です。日記帳や雑記など、何冊も使用させて頂いております。

Good notebook. Exactly as shown.

I love the a paper quality

The perfect notebook. Paper is high quality and works a dream with my fountain pens. Haven’t had any bleed through and there is only minimal ghosting. (Less than hobonichi). True a5 size and feels premium. Worth the price as it feels a lot better quality compared to other notebooks. Minimal design which allows for customisation. Cream coloured pages which make writing easier on the eyes. Perfect for long writing sessions and can handle inks, pens, acrylic and even watercolours despite its thin pages.

Es un cuaderno bastante funcional. Antes usaba de otra casa, pero los últimos que he comprado no me han resultado de calidad. Con este Midori puedo escribir, utilizar pinturas, tintas, acuarelas... y no traspasa (usando el sentido común, no deja de ser un papel satinado y fino). Muy contenta con Midori. Y ya comentar el aspecto estético, es minimalista y me gusta mucho.
