Hobonichi Techo Cousin Book [Japanese/A5/January 2022 Start/Monday Start/6-months x 2books]

This is the A5 avec so you get 2 books, one for each half of the year. I saw this planner online and I know it’s well loved but I don’t generally like pure white paper, to the point where the Stalogy tends to annoy me, so I was a bit concerned if Id like this. But this paper is definitely more towards ivory, which I’m so happy about. The quality also feels so much better than I thought from seeing pictures and videos. The paper is very smooth. I was also worried that it would feel huge as I’m used to B6 but actually it doesn’t feel overwhelming at all. Maybe because the day pages aren’t completely blank. I wasn’t sure if I could commit to this planner daily as I knew it was a beast (!) but seeing it in person is definitely a game changer. The quality definitely does it for me. It almost has that homely feeling you need from a daily planner. Happy :)
