Just ordered my Ane and Weeks for 2025! I haven't used the Weeks before and I'm excited to give it a go

I'm also a yellow lover and I went with the sushi fabric cover this year. I also considered the yellow triangles cover. I was disappointed that they didn't have the yellow in the colors line, but in general this felt like a huge year for yellow lovers and hobonichi. There were so many yellow cover options this year, or covers that had strong yellow accents. I had such a hard time choosing 😅 Which Etsy shop is your day free cover from? Did you end up getting anything on launch today?

for weeks you could go sushi or pistachio? also yes I tried the a6 original first and it was kinda impossible for me to write on + there's no space to really do any memory keeping, so I switched to cousin but now I got a hon cause I want the sturdier cover without putting additional covers on it

I've looked at the tragen. Still unsure if it will feel rough and set my teeth on edge! I've got a cherries weeks, original A6 and the A6 Masamune Kusano x junaida: Himitsu Stranger cover as I find oddly drawn to it! Couple of weeks clear covers and deco rush in cherries and sushi. I'm experimenting with A6 rather than cousin for memory keeping etc. I keep getting suckered into a cousin then regretting it! Love to see what you get. I know the web site was a challenge !!

Thanks for your timely reminder and great videos! I just pulled the trigger just now on 2 weeks for next year as I couldn’t decide on a colour so needed to see both in person. Will sell on the one that I don’t use.

The Tragen is one of two Hobonichi covers I have found interesting (the second one is the Forbidden Fruit from a few years back). Normally I find Hobonichi art style extreme off-putting. Specially the ones that are usually discribed as "whimsical". If you do end up buying the Tragen I would not mind at all if you would do a review of it. I think it was quite popular, yet I have not seen many reviews of it on UA-cam. Mostly I would like to know what it's like to use it. For example does the pocket flap arround annoyingly if you use it without having it lay flat on a surface. Does the big magnet in the back feel odd to write on. Great video as always. I really enjoyed listening to your thoughts about what to buy.

Happy Hobonichi Day!

Do you know if the weeks clear CoC will fit over hardcover Weeks like the Moomins one or the stiffer fabric ones? I have one of the more flexible cover weeks from 2024 that I use the CoC with now but I'm worried it won't fit if I get one of the less flexible ones this year...

Hello lovely I'm pretty sure you said you have a video on where to buy... I'm UK.. And tried to find the video but it's not in your video description and can't see it in your 99 videos uploaded.. Thanks for this though!! Thinking of getting my first Hobo.. I want a Weeks Mega in Smoke Grey.. Could you advise?! Or link the video please 🩶

Thanks for sharing 😊

I wonder if you have a local stationery store in the UK that sells Hobonichi products? Here in North America we have JetPens and Yoseka Stationery (US) and Wonderpens (Canada) that *are* official retailers. Unfortunately they don't carry all of the cover options and accessories so it's hit-or-miss whether I go direct or order from a "local" shop each year. P.S. Love that Cousin cover in the twill (?) black fabric. Do you recall what it was called?

Last year, there were no customs charged to the customers in India. Hobonichi paid for it. Is it not the case in UK?

Roughly how much are customs fees to ship directly from Hobonichi to the UK?

Thank you for this video!When will the 2025 hobonichi planners get released on Amazon in the US?

I miss the ‘hold’ feature!

I think I'll wait a little because I may only get a weeks and a few accessories. Otherwise, I'll resort to other retailers

Do Amazon Japan include the pen and notebook?

How long until the standard hobonichi items for 2025 will be available on Amazon UK?

this is so helpful!! thank you so much! can't wait to get my first hobonichi :)

Thanks for such an u formative video. I have pre-ordered mine with a UK shop to save myself the hassle 😂

It looks to me like this year there's only going to be one launch day for orders; everything will be available on 1 September except the OnePiece stuff which always comes out on 1 October. So exciting!!

I watched the two hour video they had on YT of all the amazing things for 2025. I plan on doing two orders (one in Sept. as soon as the Spy Family stuff becomes available) and then another in October when the One Piece items open up.

twines and paper has a planner which has the same hybrid weekly layout i've drawn myself and i'm still on the fence

If I’m not mistaking you are in the UK? So out of curiosity - how are you buying the Plotter? Or will you get it in Japan? I’m in Finland and I haven’t found a store which would ship Plotters to Europe…

I’ve been thinking about my 2025 setup so much that I’ve practically obsoleted my current set up 😢 if anything, it’s making me think I need to lean into a six month system instead of a full year which is very different and new for me.

Very informative. I started this year with an A5 cousin but just found it too big for my needs. I bought a Thinking of You x Mr Eggplants The Moment 2024 Planner and it’s great but a bit too small. I also recently started a Weeks and was shocked to find how much I loved it especially using all the extra pages at the back. I am definitely going to be using it in 2025 and am considering an A6 avec as well. Not sure if I will be duplicating so still on the fence but the new Hobinichi covers are calling me😂

Since this time last year it has been a mess for me. I have been changing/starting books like an idiot and I still have no clue of what I really want. What I do know is that I am a bullet Journaler but I just don’t like those dot grids and I like Tomoe river paper. I am sticking with the day free but have many started books for this year. i am just tired of it somehow. 🥲

There’s some great weeks size planners in the same format but with grid. I really like my plotter and it pairs well with a weeks size monthly insert to have that for planning without adding it to the rings since there’s so little space on the rings. I shared my setup for august recently. I will say that Filofax has a planner with similar tiny rings and a slimmer setup. Not sure the price point. But that’s an option. And Wuhzi on Etsy sells a plotter style planner too. I’ve got them and love them as well.

I thought this was interesting and maybe you will, also. In a YT from Sylvia with a Plan, she opened a Hobo weeks and then opened up a pocket Moleskine and laid the opened Moleskine atop the opened Weeks. There are THREE rows more in the Weeks. That’s it. The other thing that Sylvia with a Plan pointed out is that although we all use whatever planner we have in portrait mode, if we turn it to Landscape mode just in the extra notes pages in the back, you now have, for example, a whole A5 sized page for brain dump or commonplace notes, in your Weeks !!! Exciting, right?!😁. I enjoy your videos; thank you.

I'm currently in an A5 Avec, and I'm glad it's two books, otherwise the chunk would have made it difficult to journal in. I've never had a Cousin, for me, the size is overwhelming. Now, if it were a planner without the weeklies, then i would consider it. Saying that, i did use the A5 kinbor (full yesr book) last year. The planner only had the monthlies and dailies, no weeklies. The weeklies were in a separate A5 vertical weeks planner, so that was good. I did have a rather chunky planner by the end, but I'm glad i tried it. The kinbor really is a good hobonichi dupe for the fraction of the Cousin price. 😊

If it’s Tomoe River paper, fountain pen folks will buy it for the paper… though it might sell for very little

Sterling Ink's N2 Planner has grids on both the right and left side.

Me too! I’ve been using it for writing in, and my writing always gets a bit wonky on that side. I just realized how much it’s bugging me.

I really liked being in the cousin this year (first time) but I've found I really don't like the daily pages. I would go to the weeks, but I don't like horizontal format. So far I'm heavily leaning toward dipping my toes into Traveler's Notebook, and getting inserts that mimic what I love from the cousin, and extra inserts to return to what I loved with bullet journaling.

I grabbed a Leuchtturm A5 (horizontal weeks with notes opposite) at random the year I retired, and made it work. During the rest of that year I watched endless YT videos on different planners, made copious notes, and ruled out most things. The following year I opted for the A5 filofax version in the same format and have stuck with it now for 5 years, just gathering a wardrobe of covers! I added a Personal size with week-on-two pages a year or so later, and a notebook, and that's it. I'm lucky to have landed on my ideal combo by accident!

I only agree with a clear cover with designs like the Weeks has, I think a lot of people would buy them. I disagree with the rest: having the weeks with a grid would make it less creative and more generic, like any non-brand planners. A6 with the weeklies included would make more sense than a cousin without the weeklies. It’s the main reason people buy it and what sets it apart from every other planner on the market. B6 is not a popular size outside of USA and they would have to create covers specifically for a small percentage of buyers.

Fully agree on FOMO! I did however preorder Aura Estelle B6 Daily. I know they will most likely be available also later, at least they've been well available this year. It's just that I was excited AE is making my dream planner in 2025 with all the changes they're doing. Also I only have 1 planner total. Notebooks are different, and I prefer them blank. Early this year I preordered a weekly planner that I had been using last year, as it was a good one, but then understood I was getting overwhelmed with the extra notes sheets on my table. So was able to cancel that preorder, made a post about my thoughts to a local group, tried out Hobonichi Cousin, but after a while felt overwhelmed with the layout. Then I found AE and have been very happy using it. So I've thought the cost of Hobonichi was like taking a course in planner use. Now I have peace and yeah, it's possible I might find something else, but highly unlikely. So far only Papertess has a similar layout, but undated daily pages.

Appreciate your honest feedback.

Well done giving it a go! I wouldn’t even consider it - and I consider most things 😂 And trying it in the Weeks was an extra challenge I think. I couldn’t plan in the Weeks, after a few different attempts. I’ve worked out I needed daily pages. But I accidentally discovered that the note pages are actually perfect for me for notes. I’ve totally fallen in love with the size! Isn’t it amazing how page sizes, formats etc, either connect with our brains or don’t? Great that it confirmed what you definitely need. Thanks for sharing! 😊💛

I can’t live without my cousin…the weekly section is invaluable to me…my to-dos, my spending, appointments, all go in there. Yes!! I’m checking Hobo site every night at 10pm …EST…and you’re right, they really should sell a clear cover, but the Midori works great, so ai don’t sweat it.

Great video! for me it's the opposite, I have been using the weeks for 4/5 years now and this year it was it's down fall because I was treating it as a planner/memory keeper which didn't work and it started to get repetitive so I gave up on it although this year's cover is my ultimate favorite cover out of the hobonichi weeks I have purchased, but I guess it came at the wrong time of my life, so I purchased a Traveler's notebook vertical planner and used it mainly as memory keeping where I decorate and write little things about my days and I completely fell in love. Later this year, I purchased a Filofax personal as a planner and so far it's working very well because I'm not treating it as a planner/memory keeper but just a planner and this worked wonders. I will continue with the vertical for memory keeping and rings for planning for work/personal.

I got a Kinbor planner for the reason that it has only monthly and daily pages, plus about 15 plain grid ones in the very back. Cuts down on the amount of bulk and repetition in an already rather large book.

Oh my goodness, I agree with all three of your wishes! Please listen, Hobonichi!

Hi, I totally understand you wanting a grid on the weekly pages in the weeks. That would be amazing. I also wish they would release a weeks book with only grid pages, like the pages in the back, so I can use the whole book as a journal. I know there is slim weeks booklets, but they are too small, and way too slim. I want to use the book in a nice cover, but I guess that's not going to happen, haha! I

I agree with the grid paper on the left had side of the weeks, I would also like for the weeks planner to have white paper (same as the cousin). You can get an Avec in A5 if you would like an A5 without the weekly pages.

I would use a weekly spread in the A6 size techo. I use an A6 in Japanese, and an A5 in English.. works well for me!

I would like white paper in the weeks also. I would like to see the cousin being made in an a6 size which would be my ultimate!

I want the cousin to change up the horizontal weekly format over 2 pages like the Weeks. Then it would be my dream planner!
