I ordered an A5 Jibun Techo Lite in pink directly from KOKUYO. Still waiting on my order. Yours looks so nice and JetPens is awesome. Been ordering from them since 2022.
I am still waiting on mine as well. I also got the express shipping. Orders were to be shipped on the 9th, so hopefully I get it anytime soon. Did you know that it is only one book? I didnt know ... i even rechecked my order and the website it still says "Divided in 2 books for portability:" ... I am just worried it will get too bulky.
Thanks for going through the journal like this, i have been looking for an alternative to the Hobonichi Cousin and Wonderland222 journals for a while now and i think that this is what I've been looking for. I just ordered a yellow Days version. Let's hope we all have an amazing 2025 to write about!
Wow I ordered straight from KOKUYO and it hasn’t even shipped 😂 I wasn’t expecting anything until end of the month but your unboxing is so exciting! I got the red since I love that color but the blue looks so nice! Also I thought it would still be the 2 books system this year hopefully the b6 slim is still pretty light
Me too... I am a little disappointed as they said all orders would ship on the 9th. I even talked to the 'chat with us "bot"' who apparently isnt a bot or might be a bot that is very good at guilting you when you give a poor review for a bot answer' hahaha. Did you know it was a one book system this year? Their website still says "Divided in 2 books for portability:" I am worried that it might be too bulky.
Red ❤!! Oh yes, I think the weight is quite comparable to my Stalogy 365 and Take A Note both in A5. Not to bad..but we'll see if it gets chunky 😄. B6 yay!
@@rinl.6924 no idea! I did read on Reddit that someone commented that it was a 2 book but the info page said 1 book so I guess it was going to be a surprise till this video
@@enroutexperiences ooh actually I carry everything around so I find the usual a5 journals to be too heavy for my liking especially the hobonichi hon, then again I have a lot of planners for 2025 so I’m sure I’ll find a use for it!
My JetPens order arrived today! I got the gray B6 mini and I'm so excited. I was planning to use it as a work planner, but I like the size and the layout so much, I'm seriously considering switching it up.
I bought 2 of the minis for 2024, it has two books and I love it. I finally had planner peace after 7 years and for 2025 they put it in one book. Bummer
aww ☹that sucks I hope they come out with more options for people who like both types. are you still going for the planner this upcoming year or trying something else then?
@@enroutexperiences yeah just got an email abt it, for anyone also wondering: “*Schedule of shipment Orders placed by August 25 will be shipped by the end of September. Orders placed after August 25 will be shipped by the mid-October.”
In terms of size it's not as wide as the Hobo A5 but it can fit in the Hobonichi A5 covers, that's how I have been using mine this year 👍🏽 I prefer the Jibun Techos paper over the new Hobonichi paper also, for stamping and writing in general...
😊I guess I was too excited I didn't think to mention which one I was showing. I have the A5 slim size here. (21.8 cm / 8.6 inches length & 13.6 cm / 5.4 inches for the width). I'm planning on doing a few shorts to compare it with my other notebooks but no I don't have the Hobonichi Cousin. I was considering the Cousin but I don't think I would use the weeklies so I chose the DAYs. There are some good comparison videos of layouts online. Hope that helps! Page layouts seems to not have changed from past years 😀
Their website says its "Divided in 2 books for portability:" this video is a TIL ... I am not very excited about this. As my single books were nice and compact and would get a bit bulky over time. I got the B6 Blue and a Lite in Green. Still waiting on order direct form Kokuyo
Hmm yeah I that noticed when I was shopping around too. 🧐On Jetpens their description is one book. I saw on Kokuyo's announcement for the lineup page they mention the new whole year book format but on all their product descriptions for the DAYs it is 2 book. It’s always a bit disappointing when changes aren’t what we hoped for 🥺 srry to hear it's not ideal for you. I hope your purchase still turn out to be useful and that the wait for your Kokuyo order goes smoothly. Fingers crossed everything works out great for you! 💗

I bought aa A5 slim to replace my Take a note planner, I hope it works well.
Just a little over a month before we can start using it🤩. Hope it works out for you!

Is this A5 ? And do you have the Hobo Cousin to compare it with ?

did it come with the cover or you ordered separately?
It came with the cover 😊 didn’t have to buy separately

I'm new to jibun techo and I have the two book and I am disappointed that they now have one book
It was a surprise for sure, I hope they come out with more options in the future.
