    I do love Hobonichi’s messaging of a life book. It really keys into self-care. I got the Cousin in Chinese, the weeks in the cherry blossom snow globe. Thanks for sharing your thoughts just subbed.

    Is the paper in the weeks sized notebooks Tomoe river paper? I tried mine out and the ink bleed straight through so not sure if it’s a bad batch or different paper?

      Yes, it's TR paper in the memo pads. Which writing utensil are you using? I haven’t tested mine yet, but I can try it out and let you know! Let me know what you're using, and I can check if mine holds up-if I have the same pen.

      @@joannewalker6257 ok so I went to check a few markers and more pigmented highlighters and such. The paper does not feel the same as the Weeks. The memo pad has a bit more tooth to it vs the Weeks smoothness. The listing does say it’s TR though, but perhaps not the same weight, maybe ? None of mine bleed through though and I tried some heavy markers too. Hope that helps!

    Have you checked out Sterling Ink? I would love to know your thoughts comparing it to hobonichi.

      @@NoName-uf7zs I haven’t personally purchased an SI planner but checked out a friend's when they first came out. I appreciate the size options, which offer more versatility. While I’m not as fond of the layout options, I do like some of the additional spreads, such as the monthly priorities. The yearly tracker feels too crowded for my taste. The Common Planner, which I’m comparing it to, doesn't have enough defined lines in some sizes for the weekly vertical layout, which feels too loose on the page for my ADHD brain. The comparable Weeks layout they offer is nice and simplified but lacks the character I love about Hobonichi. I’ve also heard some feedback about concerns regarding longevity and quality not holding up as well, but that’s not based on my personal experience, and I know many who enjoy it. Overall, I just prefer Hobonichi, but the SI planner appears to be a great option for those who prefer a simplified look, or even Wonderland222.
