A joy to use with fountain pens
This is a joy to use with fountain pens, with no feathering or bleed through. I've been using it for several weeks now and it is now one of my favourite papers to use. The paper has a very, very slight texture which I really enjoy and a slightly off white colour as you can see on line. The minimalist aesthetic works really well too. Highly recommended

Perfect for structured journaling – excellent paper quality
I absolutely love these Midori MD Note Horizontal Ruled notebooks. The layout is simple but incredibly effective, the pages are divided into two sections by a slightly thicker, darker line halfway down, which makes them ideal for structured journaling. I use mine daily as a work journal, typically using half a page per day. I break things into three parts: Facts – what I’ve done that day Feelings – how I’m feeling Focus – the personal skills I’m working on The paper quality is excellent. I write with a Gravitas Copper Fountain Pen using Waterman Serenity Blue Ink, and the Midori paper handles it beautifully. There’s very little feathering, no bleed-through to the other side, and overall a really satisfying writing experience. I also keep a sheet of Buvard blotting paper between pages to catch any excess ink, though honestly the paper performs well even without it. One thing I particularly like (which might not be for everyone) is the greaseproof-style paper cover. I keep it on, and over time it develops a nice, slightly worn character that adds to the notebook’s charm. Overall, these notebooks are ideal if you want something minimal, high-quality, and well-suited to a consistent journaling habit. Highly recommended.

Amazing quality. Gets dirty, so my TIP: apply boot polish to the external cover. Works great!
Amazing quality at a fairly cheap price. I journal everyday. My collection of these are dated and look great together. My hot tip: Apply boot polish to the external cover to keep it from getting dirty. (thats my one negative, the cover gets very dirty!) I also sometimes paint it before polishing to make it a bit personal :)

Better than the newer Tomoe River? Yes!
Awesome paper, very fountain pen friendly, cheaper than Tomoe River and even better more like the older Tomoe paper. Highly recommend stocking up on these notebooks.

Great feel, not great with fountain pen
Great notebook with nice and smooth pages with minimal ghosting and no bleeding whatsoever. However parts of some pages are too waxy that certain fountain pen nibs will struggle to start. The same waxiness also means that ink will smudge long after writing.

Best notebook around
Great quality and most importantly fountain pen ink doesn't bleed through. Will buy again. New Midori fan here.
