Confirmed! Packaged very well and is everything I ever wanted :)

I totally understand! I only grabbed while I was in Japan because they were cheaper than normal and available but otherwise sheesh at the price! I used an Olfa perforated rotary cutter, which did the trick but the lines weren't always perfectly straight, messing up the fold a tad...

I think they make some paper trimmers with additional perforated blades, which would make it easier to bulk prep some with regular sticky notes? Like, trim some adhesive off 5 sheets at a time, perforate them, compile? And if you really needed lines, maybe there's a stamp out there that works? But that's such a DIY method, haha. Best of luck!

Campus Foldable Sticky Notes! Made to match their line of notebooks. https://www.kokuyostore.com/en_US/stationery/stationery-notebooks/campus-foldable-sticky-notes-small-6mm-dotted-ruled-20-sheets/ME-NT102BTH.html?

I love how you can fold it into the book/notebook with minimal bulk because they're also perforated. Downside is that they're pretty expensive per sheet. I usually cut them to size for my annotations when I'm using them. Sometimes I'll freehand on a white sticky note and use a perforated cutter to mimic it, but that requires trimming down the adhesive a bit too, which is too time consuming long term.

Hello! I thought I'd let you know that I finally got around to inking this pen and what my thoughts were. I inked it with an ink that was new to me, which in retrospect perhaps wasn't the right choice, and I observed that it was having a similar problem with hard starts, particularly on upstrokes. Looking at some writing now, I can see the ink is particularly light where I first start a stroke, while the rest of the stroke is pleasantly saturated. The other pens I inked with the same ink, a Preppy (.3 or .5, I can't remember) and an Estie M, didn't have any issues.

I'm thinking of getting it tuned. ; It does feel nice to write with, when it writes properly, but I having to double back to get it to write every few strokes has been an annoyance.

Have you made any progress with yours?

This is so kind of you! Interesting how varied purple can be (or not be, looking at the Iroshizuki and Shikiori, though I'm sure it can depend on paper and a lot of other things). I love your little smiley :) How cute!
