## Description

New colors have appeared to Tombow "Monograph" series! The new color added is "Clear Color", which is based on a transparent skeleton and is developed in a pale color. The 0.5mm core comes in 6 colors: clear, clear blue, clear lime, clear mint, clear pink, and clear purple. The 0.3mm core comes in three colors: clear, clear mint and clear purple with a matte finish on the surface. Since it is a skeleton, you can enjoy the internal mechanism unique to monographs. This modern and stylish mechanical pencil is chock-full of cool features. There's no need to let go and re-grip your pencil every time you want to extend the lead. Just shake the pencil up and down! You can also push the clip downward—this conventional click mechanism is very smooth and easy. To lock the shaker mechanism, push the clip upward. When locked, you don't have to worry about accidentally extending the lead; even when you shake the pencil, the lead will not come out. The long guide pipe lets you see where you're drawing or writing. The popular Tomboy Mono eraser is installed at the top with a twist mechanism and usable length of approximately 0.7 inches (1.8 cm)

Review: Another really solid and functional Tombow product! 😃 - This is a dual-action pencil, whereby the lead can be advanced, either by pressing the shirt pocket-clip or shaking the whole pencil. Also, another plus is the screw-advance (larger) eraser system, which I’ve come to pretty well expect for these style of pencils. I was able to load a maximum of 8 pieces of lead when the pencil was empty. I more-prefer 12, which is a whole Pentel-tube, but 8 is fine. I use 2H-lead which gives you great ‘mileage’ per click and stick! I had to take notes so fiercely in college, that HB both ran out too-soon and was prone to repeated-breakage. For disassembly, the front metal lead-guide unscrews, but other parts of the pencil look to have been pressed together using a detent/snap design; I didn’t want to use the needed force however, to confirm that design! Finally, the feel is excellent (with no rough, or mis-registered edges) and seems to naturally lend itself to cursive writing, which is difficult with some of the other mechanical pencils; thus, especially making cursive notes faster and more readable. The only minus (but this is with all of the ‘shaker’ types) is the lead advance increment-amount, is a bit much if any lead is already protruding out the end lead-guide. But they all seem to do this, so no missing stars. I’ve really come to like Tombow products for their innovative design and precision manufacturing, even in a lower-tier item; so they represent a solid value for the money. I cannot imagine, you being disappointed by purchasing this Monograph pencil ✏️
Review: best pencil ever!!! - it has a soft grip at the very front of the pencil, and its super easy to hold. i love the size of it: its probably about 1.5 cm thick, which is a little thicker than most pencils and i feel it allows me more precision when writing. it also feels super sturdy! so far, i havent noticed any issues with smearing. it writes so cleanly and i love that it uses 0.5 lead. refills are also super easy. its very similar to your run of the mill mechanical pencil, except that since the eraser is a twist kind, you pop off the entire back part. dont do more than 4 lead pieces at a time! (the directions say this, but its in japanese so its easier for me to translate it here :)
