MidoriMD Notebook - A5 Grid Paper

Love it, paper is lovely to write on, almost no bleed with a fountain and just a touch of ghosting with the Schmidt inks in my pens.

These are so great. Beautiful. Easy on the eye. Wonderful quality. And do not bleed fountain pen ink. My favourite notebooks so far.

Great quality notebook! Handy for smaller bags and revision notes

Bought this to use for my kpop/bullet journal and it’s definitely my favourite out of all the journals I have used. (Pereviously I had a Miliko and a leuchtturm1917) This journal has great quality paper, no pens that I have used so far have bled through but there is a little bit of ghosting. The grid itself has a slight blueish tint but I wouldn’t say thats a problem and it still looks fine. I would however recommend buying the plastic cover that comes separately, I think its about £6 but it gives the journal a really nice finish. Overall its 100% the best journal out there in my opinion, will be buying again!

Exceptional quality

This notebook really is wonderful. The pages are so incredibly soft, and I have no bleeding issues with pens, highlighters, or brush pens. The pages on this specific style are gridded, which fitted my style of journaling perfectly, and if I plan it out correctly, it should last me just about 6 months.

It's a cute minamilistic book but I ordered the grid and got a blank instead. Idk how to contact seller about it but I mean it's fine I guess as it was just a preference rather than a need.

Size wise, I'd say that this book is slightly longer than a standard A5 notebook. If you have the leuchtturm1917 A5 book, it's about the same size as that (and the Leuchtturm 1917 seem to run a bit longer and wider than moleskine, by about 1cm). The book's covers are made from card (so it's not as sturdy as a moleskine hard cover, nor does it have the durable plastic cover that other A5 books boast like the miquelrius). The book comes with a wax paper dust cover, which won't be enough protection if you're going to be slinging your book in a bag. I'd advise that you get a cover for it, something a bit more durable. The pages are cream with mid tin blue-grey grid and the squares aren't complete but it's not off putting. The book itself lays flat on the surface, so you'll be able to use all of the pages.The paper is lovely and smooth to write on. I write with a Lamy safari fine nib with Noodler's (read black) ink. There's some ghosting on the back of the page/ paper, but apart from that, I'll say that it takes the ink quite well. Unlike say, Leuchtturm1917 it doesn't really have the cunning index pages (which is one of the reasons why Leuchtturm will have my heart) but it does come with a sticker for archival use. I took off a star for the price, but then its Midori, so it's going to be expensive.
